My first recollection of visiting the hills was a winter walk to Styhead Tarn from Seathwaite with my parents and brother when I was about 6. I remember being amazed by the tents in the snow at Styhead, by the frozen tarn and by the cold beauty and solitude. That amazement at beauty and solitude has never left me.
Since then I have spent half a lifetime exploring the wild places of the UK and Europe. I am happiest sat in an alpine mountain hut or in a wild camp, high above the valleys.
Through this website I hope to share some of my love of wild places. I hope to share the beauty, the solitude, the plants and animals, the history and the people. I hope to inspire you to venture out yourselves and discover a whole new world.
