Not bad, considering.

Barely ridden for many months but this felt good, helped massively by near-perfect conditions and scenery so pretty it entices you to keep moving forward.

Just about Núi Tháp Trời

Solo hike into the wild landscape around Mu Cang Chai in NW Vietnam.

The technical:
30-35°C all the way. The push to the summit was a steep, loose and strenuous ascent of a vague ridge after which the path disappeared and instinct and incline were the only guides to the…

The Peak of it all.

Day one in Hong Kong adventure with Dominik. Once over the summit complete serenity was achieved... The number of crazy Bond villain houses up there is mind-boggling.

Sgurrrr.

Wet exploratory stomp with Jam up onto the end of the ridge to get a feel for the terrain. Interesting route choices were required in the reduced visibility to bring us down the flank of Gars-bheinn. The saturated ground was heavy going but bouncy and fun, and paths were only…

No, really.
From the brilliant Glenbrittle campsite this exploratory stroll with Jam down the peninsula to Rubha an Dùnain provided an incredibly rich picture of the past: an abandoned farmhouse belonging to Clan MacAskill; Mesolithic shelters; Iron Age dun (a type of hillfort) and more.

Gentle saunter with a little extra exploration following a stream up a wildly overgrown valley, accompanied by a long-lost friend.

It had been too long since I last saw my good friend Rob Hyde who knows this part of the world like the back of his hand, and is consistently brilliant at devising picturesque routes.

Highlights:

Ridiculous headwind up and over Dovestones, and an incredibly close call with a car door.
