Day 11 and 12!
Just really quick studies of the Mourne mountains from a distance and another of my idiot son, Pippin.
Catching up but not forcing myself to catch up all in one day.

Cold hike. Frozen ground. Winter wild camp.
Freeze goes live tomorrow evening (Friday).
A proper winter outing — the challenges, the calm, and why I keep coming back out here when it gets cold.
Hope you’ll join me for this one #wintercamping #winterhiking #mournemountains

Frozen ground tells the story better than words ever could.
Every step counted on this hike.
Winter strips things back — no shortcuts, no rushing, just patience, layers, and respect for the conditions. #wintercamping #mournemountains #freeze

A warm glow in a very cold world.
This is why I love winter wild camping — the contrast between brutal conditions outside and calm, quiet shelter within.
Cold nights, big skies, and a deep sense of being exactly where you’re meant to be. #wintercamping #mournemountains #wildcamping

Crunchy ground. Frozen grass. Silence everywhere.
Slow steps, steady breathing, and the kind of cold that works its way into everything.
Hard hiking — but the good kind. The kind that stays with you long after you’re home. #wintercamping #mournemountains #hiking #wildcamping

Cold has a way of focusing the mind.
Frozen ground, sharp air, and that moment where you realise winter isn’t messing about.
These are the days that remind you why preparation matters — and why the mountains always have the final say. #wintercamping #mournemountains #freeze

Not a lot of sunshine but some beautiful light, rolling mist and lots of sheep on the turf road this morning.

35mph winds straight in the face — you can feel it before you even take the first step.
There’s something strangely addictive about starting a walk when the mountain makes its intentions clear.
Cold air, low cloud, no promises… just the way I like it.

The mountains went dark faster than I expected the other night…
just me, a headtorch, and a very wild Mourne wind.

My new Walkwatchers film “Dark” is now live — a quiet, moody hike after sunset.

The forecast said “Rain.”
The Mournes heard “RAIN!!!!!!!!!”

New video: “Soaked – Four Things to Do When the Mountains Turn Against You.”

Shelter from the elements. Lovely wee spot in the Annalong River Valley. Always good to create your safe space first, then you're ready for anything.

Autumn barrels on and the landscape is changing. Warm, windless and wet.

A pre-dawn glow rises behind Hen Mountain, outlining its rugged tors as fog clings just below the summit. While in the foreground, small heather plants with their vibrant purple blooms thrive against the odds in the weathered rock crevices.

The weather was very changeable but made the adventure all the more exciting- it's autumn after all.

Hiked up across Spellack to Slieve Meelmore of the Mourne Mountains. I swear my legs were busted but what a great overnight on the mountains.
