Oh, almost forgot #silentsunday!
My last hike led me to this summit which is usually very well visited.
But given the weekday & weather, I was totally alone while I was up there. Noone around. No human made sound. Just me and nature. It felt so much like real freedom.

As I said previously, I do, do ❤️ ridges... This was six days ago, on almost the last day of autumn (meanwhile it's all white)...

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking
And one more clip from some hours in the snow last weekend :-)

'Herbst (Typisch)' #FotoVorschlag ' Autumn (typical)
Well okay, I was struggling to decide between a couple of my #autumn #hiking photos but well, this is and stays my all-time-bes…
Well that was simply stunning, a proper winter walk.
Home now, with a cup of tea and a mince pie (no they've not all gone yet!) and we're already planning where to go the next time it snows.

Just a bit of snow that I had last sunday during my hike.

Good morning!
That's when I touched snow last weekend. The Weather looks like I could do it again this weekend.

Free entry to a lot of CA state parks on MLK Day! 😃

So of course it's a grand day for pulling on our warmest outdoor walking gear and heading over to the Peak District.
We're experienced enough winter hikers that we know our limits: we'll be staying well away from any moor tops or anywhere that the footpaths are completely obscured by snow. But we're hoping for some glorious winter scenery in the valleys and the lower hills.

Yesterday shortly before reaching the summit. - I need warmer socks and maybe a warm inlay-sole.

Selected a #hiking route for tomorrow.
Just reminded myself to check the avalanche status... Selected another route...
Maybe overcautios - but my route would go over a larger alpine meadow. Even though I'd go via a south flank that is mentioned with less risk - when I'm going alone, I prefer zero risk.
... and we're back!

It's been a bit windy today.

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

The thermometer says it's 1.3° out there so obviously this is a perfect time to go out walking on t'moors.
There's a hike we've been planning to do for a while now, not far from Blackburn, and although it's chilly the weather says it'll be dry and bright so we're about to wrap up and head out to the East Lancs hills.
No time to waste as at this time of year the sun will be setting by about 4pm.

Hello Stranger?
I took this photo recently on a hike on one of my local hills when I turned around and saw a stranger walking there.
I hardly ever have people in my photos, because I don't WANT people there. But this scene was so different.
The fog was just thick enough to see the person, yet I didn't feel like the person was "near". It all just felt so distant.
