A slow wander around Simonside 🌿
I went out looking for snakes on Thursday; spotted one adder which swiftly disappeared without being photographed (honest), 3 common lizards, a couple of millipedes and a few cool bugs!
It’s amazing what you can spot if you move about at snail pace!

Tryfan & Glyder Fach 🏴
An epic day in the mountains of Snowdonia and some of the best examples of periglacial weathering around!
Freeze thawed chaos 🤓❄️

Somehow it’s been a year since I flew halfway around the world to visit my good friend @viv_the_vet on the Galápagos Islands and what a trip it was! Such an abundance of wildlife to see, up close and personal; a childhood dream come true! 🌎
It also feels quite fitting that this anniversary has fallen around @davidattenborough turning 100 as it was through his many documentaries that I fell in love with the thought of visiting these islands!
10 days, 4 islands and barely scratching the surface - there’s definitely a second trip on the cards! 🇪🇨

36 glorious hours in the Lake District for the launch of the @lowauk Explorer GTX Mid 🥾
The Explorer GTX is the lightweight, resolable follow up to the best selling Renegade and we had the best time testing them out!
First up was a boot fitting with coffee and a catch up with the team followed by a navigation session up a rather windy Place Fell.
Can we all take a moment for the weather we’re getting at the moment?! 🌞
That evening we were treat to a stunning al fresco dinner, many, many laughs and a talk through Tim’s holiday photos (sorry, Everest summit 😂)
Hallin Fell for breakfast before we said our goodbyes made for the perfect end to a very wholesome event.

Buachaille Etive Mor via Curved Ridge - an epic grade II scramble into the clouds made slightly less daunting by the limited visibility!
Definitely one for a return journey in clearer conditions! 🏴

The return of the Puffins 🐧
After a long winter rafting on cold northern seas, puffins have finally returned to their nesting grounds on the Farne Islands where they will breed and raise their pufflings.
With over 200,000 seabirds set to arrive on the islands in the coming weeks, there is no better time to experience one of the UK's greatest wildlife spectacles.
Boats sail daily from Seahouses Harbour.

AD - Found our new favorite sanctuary!
📍 Sandpiper Lodge @restatthenest
This stunning lodge is nestled away near Wingate, County Durham and overlooks Hurworth Burn Reservoir.
It’s incredibly grounding staying by a nature reserve; stepping away from a busy world, slowing down, witnessing an abundance of wildlife, reconnecting, all with zero distractions.
We spent our time cooking, relaxing by the fire and looking up at the stars from bed (thanks to a wonderfully satisfying skylight!)
Sandpiper was spacious, sleek, and perfectly designed for rest - I can’t recommend a sunrise hot tub enough!

Rumbling Kern 🌊
A closely guarded secret amongst Northumberland coast connoisseurs, Rumbling Kern is a small sandy beach sheltered behind small inland-facing cliffs just south of Cullernose Point near Howick.
