A typically wet and windy winter getaway to Scotland and the Highlands to see in the New Year, with one token good weather day on the Souther Cuillin.

I doubt it would be possible to convince anyone - myself included - of the idea of a truly ‘Wild London’, however the pockets of green are something to hold onto in a city that is becoming increasingly grey and vertical. Below are some moments from the last few weeks taking out the kayak on the Regent’s Canal, in Greenwich Park on Christmas Day and in my parent’s suburban garden on the theme of a Wild London.

It’s back! After a hiatus-and-a-half and with a new look, I’ve finally gotten around to putting my website back together. While it remains in a work-in-progress, it is nice to have a platform again to put pictures, words and ideas into the world. With any luck, I’ll be able to use the blog to put up photos from weekend trips, my gripes with Git and MATLAB wrestling matches.

Mini road-trip around the eastern Dolomites and across to Chamonix for a mix of via-ferrata, rock and alpine climbing with Adam, Ash and Duncan.
