The call to conquer Crib Goch
It was a cold and wet November morning in the stark, natural glamour of Snowdonia, which I ecstatically greeted after awakening to the grey-hued sunlight rudely invading my uncomfortable slumber in the back seat of my 2003 Ford Focus which I had pulled over at the side of a country road lay-by for the night. I’d prematurely quit my “prestigious” apprenticeship working for an offshore wind turbi...
On Mountains
His tongue rolled dexterously over every syllable of his warning, relishing its taste: ‘it’s Baltic up there, boys.’ This wasn’t the first time we’d heard the summit of Cairn Gorm described this way. ‘Ye’ll be miserable’. The four of us were already wet from our journey from last night’s camp to the base station - an outdoors centre with a few rickety ski lifts packed away until the winter seas...

Nurtured by Nature
Bringing the car to a halt, to soak the ambient hues of blue skies.A newfound friendship that blossomed through countryside drives, peaceful hikes and crisp autumn days.The sheer power of nature is nurturing in the most content and unexpected ways. Reflections come in the darkest of times, the lightest of minds and in the deepest of tides.
Informal Lumberjack Philosophy
Chopping logs in half "ad-nauseam" reveals an interesting perspective regarding the duality of "living" and "dying".
Why climb?
George Mallory's answer when questioned on why he would want to climb Mount Everest is one of the most famous quotes in mountaineering - 'Because it's there'Although it seems a simple answer, and to many a ridiculous reason to risk so much, I think it means something different to everyone who is inspired by mountains and the people who climb them. I also think it was an answer given because it...
Wanderlust
I'm a 16-year-old artist and I love experimenting with new media in addition to my typical pencil, pen, watercolor and acrylic. India ink has always intrigued me and I finally decided to try it. The two mountain pictures are from my dad's trip to the Canadian Rockies in Jasper National park a few years ago, and while painting them can't satisfy my wanderlust it was definitely fun. If you like...

Mojo JNR - Miles Away
I play under the name Mojo JNR, its a bedroom pop/folk project inspired by a plethora of artists of all different styles and walks of life. Miles Away was written at the beginning of the UK Covid-19 lockdown (although you’ll be pleased to hear the song is not about that specifically). The music was inspired by my fascination with bands like Big Thief, Courtney Barnett and Phoebe Bridgers. Whils...

Almost Heaven
A good start , a good walk and a good laugh into a silent way back home adventure. We met each other again(my cousins) after a long time so we decided to visit the nearest falls and mountains to our place. We were very happy and extremely excited at that moment because our parents gave us permission because our one aunt is with us. We climb and then my brother and two cousins went near the big...
Summer Hike
Throwback to last year's summer hike, finally unearthing all the nostalgia and memories from disposable cameras. The pandemic had taught me to be curious and appreciate the beautiful creations of nature of my home. It's great to connect with you again Mother Earth.
