A little look around at the Mattmark reservoir today. #switzerland #suisse #valais #saastal #mountains #alps
A gentle day today ambling around the Mattmark reservoir, surrounded throughout by much loveliness. #switzerland #suisse #alps #mountains #saastal
Copper butterflies are difficult. The first is definitely a Scarce Copper, and I thought the others might be Sooty Copper, but now think they are also Scarce Copper, Lycaena virgaureae montanus.
Two-flowered Purple Saxifrage, Livelong Saxifrage, and Mossy Saxifrage from Langflue in the Swiss Alps today. #wildflowers #switzerland #alps #Valais
A superb day exploring below the Feegletscher from Spielboden up to Langflue, then the long walk back down to Saas-fee. All the while with the Allalinhorn, Alphubel, Taschhorn and the Dom towering above. #switzerland #suisse #alps #mountains #saastal
4000m summits seen yesterday. Allalinhorn, Alphubel, Lagginhorn, Strahlhorn. #4000m #mountains #alps #switzerland #saastal
On the Almagellerhorn "Adventure Trail" yesterday. Fabulous fun. #switzerland #suisse #alps #saastal
Scarce Copper, Grison's Fritillary, Transalpine Burnet, and Eros Blue. I think!?! #suisse #switzerland #saastal #butterflies
A long drive has landed us here, looking up at the Dom, Lenspitze and Nadelhorn. Definitely worth it. #switzerland #suisse #saastal
Working today on a guided walk for Team Tortoise. After a chat about the best route up Carrock Fell we plumped for the path up The Trough. Elevenses was had with a superb view towards Skiddaw, then it was over to High Pike. For more walks with Team Tortoise check out www.team-tortoise.co.uk
Just a Red Kite coming to check me out. He obviously thought I looked like carrion. #birds #birdofprey #raptor #redkite @rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social
This last week was mainly filled with butterflies. Holly Blue. Marbled White. Gatekeeper. Large Skipper. #butterflies #nature #wildlife
What do all of these people have in common? They can all navigate accurately with a map and compass! This means they can plan and undertake their own adventures without having to just follow a dot on a phone. grahamuneymountaineering.co.uk/nnas
Another fine day exploring the Chiltern Hills on our Lowland Leader training course today. #chilterns #lowlandleader

Our Everest Basecamp Trek this November has just one place available, and our Pikey Peak Trek next March is already fully booked with 10 happy trekkers joining me. So. Anyone up for joining us in Autumn '27? grahamuneymountaineering.co.uk/trekking-cal... #EBC #ABC #nepal #trekking #langtangnepal
