A recent trip to Norway I walked up to the Briksdal glacier. It was a stunning thing to see how much it had receded up the valley in the last few decades

Guccio has it's first hiccup. The dipstick broke and the top came off so it's spat a bunch of oil on the engine.

Hey there,
It's been a while I know. Now that we're able to go out to the wilds with some degree of safety here's a short video on how I manage my guy lines.
The preparation is for when the weather is grim, it's dark and I need them in a rush. I hope you find it useful.

An early morning start as day was breaking saw these three trees and the woodland giving me a gentle directional pointer.
Which way are the trees pointing?...

My week in the lakes has been an eventful one. The drive up was dry and sunny, attempting to lull me into a false sense of security. It was wet all week. With just enough sun to mostly dry out before the next down pour.
We bagged a few hills and a night in a Bothy following a late night hill climb in the dark.

Making char-cloth in preparation for a fire lighting workshop.
This process has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years.
The charing process creates a significantly larger surface area that is much more likely to take a spark.

The classic abseil, as I was taught it, but more frequently known as the emergency rappel.
Used when you don't have a harness.
It is rather uncomfortable especially in the crotch area. The rope does not run freely as it would through a figure of 8, and you end up all crunched up as the rope shortens, but it gets you out of bother if stuck.
