We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. Hiker of trails, cycler of hills, climber of rocks. Out and about in the countryside one way or another…😊 West Highland Way Cumbria Way Glen Affric Way Great Glen Way Alta Via 1 Dolomites
Another walk around the National Hydrangea collection in Darley Park this afternoon. 😊☀️ #hydrangea #darleypark
A bit of excitement over the village last night as a Qatar Airways Boeing 777 was intercepted by two RAF Typhoon fighter jets.
Experience a few moments of peace and tranquility along the trail…Alta Via1, Dolomites 🇮🇹
I thought the water coming out of my kitchen tap was worthy of a post of its own… #waterpatterns
It’s sometimes hard to grasp the magnitude and sheer beauty of the Dolomites, come sit for a while❤️…🇮🇹💚🤍❤️…
The Bridge of Sighs…did the passengers in the gondola find eternal love…let’s hope so ❤️ 🇮🇹
Quietly summiting F.lla de Zità, 2450m on the Alta Via 1 trail, the clouds swirling, closing in, in a silent embrace…🇮🇹 #Stunday #Dolomites
Meanwhile here’s the view from my hotel balcony looking out across Cortina as the last light of the sun catches the mountain. 🏔️ 🇮🇹
Tomorrow I set off on Alta Via1 a 10 day thru hike in the Dolomites, Italy going from rifugio to rifugio across the mountains 🏔️ 🇮🇹 🥾 🥾 💚🤍❤️
My hike yesterday took me past Crich memorial stand in Derbyshire. Crich Stand is a memorial tower, originally erected in 1923 to the memory of the 11,409 members of the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire) Regiment who died in the First World War
How about this weird foxglove in my garden… Never seen one b4 so I emailed the RHS who confirmed that it’s a peloric foxglove (Digitalis purpurea f. monstrosa) and is a rare genetic mutation where the terminal (topmost) flower opens as a large, radially symmetrical, upward-facing bell.
