A calm river viewed from a bridge, there are trees along both banks, overhanging the water in places
A gravel track through some woods. A fox red labrador on a lead is stood in the middle of the track. His name is Jasper and he is a very good boy.
A coastal scene, with grey skies and sea. It is low tide and grey rocks are exposed in the foreground. In the background, there is a pier and row of coloured buildings along a promenade. A green hill is at the end of the row of buildings, with a steep drop to the sea.
Today's walk was along the Ystwyth Trail, Llanilar to the bandstand in Aber.
13.5 miles this week, walking 60 miles in June to support pancreatic cancer research. Thinking of special friends all the way.

Here is a factsheet on what is currently known about Birchgletscher, the Swiss glacier that catastrophically collapsed on 28 May 2025, following heavy debris loading from Kleines Nesthorn.
Our thoughts are with all those most deeply affected.

The magnitude of destruction after the 3:24 pm collapse of Birch Glacier is immense! ๐ฑ
All the forest has been razed and the ice/wood/debris dammed the Lonza river ๐
