Spring fed brook, flipping icy cold, but great for cooling off. Not a soul anywhere, took a stroll downstream and found a couple of really deep bits, good enough to submerge myself.

Sitting under a fallen tree just taking it all in.
I'd love to fish that stream it just looks so "fishy", go with light gear, a pocket full of maggots and keep moving, no finer way to spend a summers afternoon.
Wales, you get so used to seeing dragons I almost missed this little guy in the shopping center...

Out for a walk today, I saw some heavy rain clouds coming in. Fortunately I had a poncho with me, so I had to decide whether to put the poncho on and keep walking or set it up as a shelter and have a mug of tea whilst the rain passes. I made my decision...

This is an old photo, from 11 years ago. This was my first ever bivi, at stickle tarn, part of a 2 night trip. It was one of those endicotts butchered Dutch bivi's, with the velcro opening and mat loops on the back. Sooo heavy! The Dutch foam mat was great too. I look back on this fondly as since then it has inspired atleast 5 other folks to bivi and one in particular has bivi'd over 100 times since. That is pretty epic.
