From today's wander upto Loadpot Hill, Arthurs Pike and High Street and the views down Ullswater in the Lake District from the cairns above Whinny crag. A super clear and calm day but very wet and muddy underfoot.

For decades, Nordic security rested on trust in distant guarantees. Does that trust still make sense?

Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns
