My friend Mat working up the first pitch of Idwal Stream (II/III 4) (Cwm Idwal, Snowdonia, Wales) 3 Feb 2019. Conditions weren't ideal (with raising temps though the day) but an early start meant we were first on and in the coldest weather, making this the best pitch of the day.

Tent message

28 December 1992. Somebody evidently happened by my wild camp in the Kirriereoch forest (in Galloway) whilst I spent the day on the Merrick, and was clearly not envious!

I arrived home from a week in 25C temperatures in China, to -5C in Scotland, which did make for a very pretty effect on my Subaru.

Taken 11:30 1 Feb 2019 at Edinburgh Airport.

  • I've only just realised the optical illusion here. Although I took this picture from behind, as we walked, I can mentally flip it so it looks like my partner is walking towards me. I'd never noticed that before.

This picture was taken on 2-2-2013 during the annual volunteer weekend where a packed trail is established on a stream in the Groulx Mountains. Every year it is cold, but this one was special. The temperature wouldn't rise above -40°C during the day for the whole weekend. Any moisture froze on contact, as can be seen here on Eric's face.

It was frigid cold, and it shows

Taken October 2009, Mount Washington, New Hampshire, USA.
The first real cold of the year, they said. It was really freezing.

I had forgotten I had this photo, it was just when I checked my photos on Flickr that I remembered.
