⛺ We partnered with Trek Scotland & Minreet Kaur for a first-time Munro wild camp in the Cairngorms.
🌄 Minreet's mum Pal is in remission. She's 75 in November - and is nails enough to attempt Bynack More in the dark!
Watch this space for her full story. An inspiration! 👏

📸 Will Lake enjoys nothing more than escaping his desk with camera in hand, often to the #LakeDistrict. It is an antidote to "endless metrics, goals and rankings". His images are refreshingly unprocessed and joyful.

Have you taken a photo capturing a special moment in nature? Perhaps a close-up wildlife encounter, a sunset high on a mountain, a second of quiet deep in the woods.

It can be a grand scene or an abstract, but think about why it means something to you...
