Wonderful and wet today for day one of our Walking the Wainwrights weekend based in Keswick. It's fair to say not all walking holidays are created equal!

Thank you. I think it works well too. Not sure what I'll ever do with it, but it's nice and gentle to play.

Completing a journey that started in 2019, I sat my Mountain Leader assessment over the last two weekends and passed!

Thanks @grahamuney.bsky.social for making the unavoidably stressful assessment as enjoyable as it could possibly be.

Day one of our final Mountain Leader training course of the year. Lots of navigation, plus some useful discussions about leadership and group management. We had time to delve into the symbiotic world of lichens too for a proper geek-out.

@seatollerhouse1624.bsky.social along Langstrath to the bottom of Stake Pass, then up the fellside (no path) and through the bogs to Sergeant Crag, then Eagle Crag. Late lunch, then back down alongside Greenup Gill and back in time for tea!

Scotland’s first new broch for 2000 years wins planning approval The approval of the Caithness Broch Project’s plans represents a major milestone for their bid to build a β€œfaithful replica” on a site near Latheron.

Broch-tastic news. Taking experimental #archaeology to the extreme! Such a fantastic project, great news for #Caithness and Scottish archaeology. #IronAge #Broch #Scotland
