The last time I caught up with Jamie was at a friends birthday party. His passion and knowledge of nature, and his dry humour and love of language, captivated us as always. He’ll always be a bit of the better Borrowdale.

OK, so we’ve been lucky enough to have spent some time in Argentina, with a decent chunk of that time in Patagonia. As a climber and geologist, it’s been fascinating. Hiking through and across the valleys around Fitzroy and Cerrito Torre were a highlight of course.

Dog walk on the fell. Some time for reflection in the best of company, Iggy Dog and Flynn Dog. Dogs are the greatest of companions.
