About Alex Foxfield
I am passionate about the great outdoors of the UK and can regularly be found somewhere on a mountain. When I’m not hiking, running or climbing mountains, I’m usually daydreaming or sometimes writing about them. If I can't get to the high places, I make do with running the roads, paths and trails around the city. For more information take a look at my website.

Nice seeing the last hours of daylight in 2025 up in the fells. Ran a round of upper Longsleddale, taking in the summits of Grey Crag, Harrop Pike, Tarn Crag, Branstree, Harter Fell, Kentmere Pike and Shipman Knotts. Lovely.

A lovely family hike up Catbells. Lovely seeing my daughter embrace the scrambling and get up all the way to the top by herself. We did Catbells as a family 9 years and 1 day ago, when the teenagers on this hike were just 4 and 6. Such a wonderful fell.
