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

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.

Valentine walk to our local hill.
#hiking #fog #isartal

A tranquil and mysterious scene unfolds in this misty landscape. A dirt path winds its way through a gently sloping hillside, disappearing into the foggy distance. The path is bordered by patches of dry grass and earth, adding texture and a sense of natural beauty to the scene.

In the background, a group of leafless trees stands tall, their bare branches reaching into the misty sky. The fog envelops the trees, softening their outlines and creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The …

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)...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Hiking

First person video of me walking a narrow path along a ridge with steep drops on either side, but one side more open, providing vast views over the surrounding landscape (and esp. the foothills north of the Ammergau Alps). The beautiful warm autumn afternoon sun makes the dried grasses appear almost golden... Bright blue sky

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.

This image captures a breathtaking winter landscape from a high vantage point. The scene is dominated by a vast, snow-covered mountain range under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. A serene lake lies nestled among the mountains, its icy surface reflecting the surrounding peaks and the sky above.

The foreground features a mix of snow-covered ground and patches of green shrubs, adding texture and contrast to the scene. The sunlight casts a soft glow over the landscape, highlighting the pri…

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.

A breathtaking autumn landscape unfolds, showcasing a stunning lake nestled between rolling hills and majestic mountains. The lake, with its deep blue waters, mirrors the sky and surrounding scenery, creating a perfect reflection that enhances the serene atmosphere. The calm surface of the water adds a sense of tranquility and peace to the scene.

A long bridge stretches across the lake, connecting the two sides of the lush, forested hills. The bridge, with its elegant arches, adds a touch of h…

I really like to get back to frequent 10-mile fasting hikes/walks. I did 2-4/week in 2023-24; but very few in 2025 due to other interests and opportunities that are incompatible with that goal. If only I can do both.🤲

I escaped the #fog today for a while, took some photos, noticed that I should start training a bit more in the next weeks.
But most importantly, I just enjoyed being out, had some friendly words with some hikers and had some fresh air.

This image captures a breathtaking winter landscape from a high vantage point. The foreground features a grassy hillside with patches of snow, indicating the transition between autumn and winter. Scattered bushes and leafless trees add texture and depth to the scene.

Beyond the hillside, a vast sea of clouds fills the middle ground, creating a soft, white blanket that stretches across the landscape. The cloud layer adds a sense of mystery and tranquility to the scene.

Content warning: no snow here, although the outdoor thermometer was reading -6.7 °C when we got up.

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.

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.

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.
#hiking

A lone hiker ventures through a mystical winter landscape, where bare, gnarled trees stand like ancient sentinels in a veil of soft, drifting fog. The muted gray sky blends seamlessly with the mist, casting an ethereal glow over the frost-kissed meadow. Delicate snowflakes dust the ground, adding a quiet stillness to the scene. The skeletal branches of the towering trees create intricate silhouettes, their twisted forms adding a touch of wild beauty to the serene yet slightly mysterious atmosph…

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.
