On every expedition, I share a dram with friends - old and new. To me, whisky is a rink to share, and after we completed the Worlds Highest Altitude Marathon, I opened a bottle of 5.131 - Blissfully Lost... #smws #worldshighestaltitudemarathon

This wannabe “influencer” has been called out online for irresponsible camping on Norfolk Island, Ullswater 💔😢 It’s not allowed as it’s a precious habitat for wildlife #lakedistrict #nature They’ve since boasted that despite trespassing they’ll continue to do so 😳😳🙄 #influencers Such irresponsible and selfish attention seeking behaviour has no place in precious places in Lakeland. No care for the Countryside Code, concerned local communities or nature. This individual has since boasted the attention makes them money…..that’s not quite true as I’ve been digging on their figures. I’ve personally privately and publicly reached out to em in a professional manner - as usual I was ignored and blocked. Either way, the fact they don’t care is rather telling of how such folk treat the #outdoors nowadays. I’m all up for access to the countryside but it does come with essential care and responsibility for all and future generations 👍 Sadly, this individuals behaviour reflects the serious issues the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is Lakeland faces in recent years which has become endemic in many parts of the national park. @Cumbriapolice @lakedistrictnpa @LakesCumbria

On this day in 2018 I got a lift up the fell road with my farmer friend David to the Blencathra Centre. Due to him offering a lift up to others I happily chose to jump out back and have fun 😉😆👍🏔️❄️ #lakedistrict

🚨 "They were our heroes" When a family hike on Stanage Edge in the Peak District turned into a freezing nightmare, two local gamekeepers stepped up to save a life. 👏 Last Thursday, 17-year-old Rheyah collapsed and lost consciousness in the snow as thick fog rapidly rolled in over the Peak District. With her daughter unresponsive on the freezing ground, Mum Carla faced a desperate wait for help. Thankfully, Moscar Estate gamekeepers Tom and Thomas appeared through the fog on their quad bikes during their daily rounds. Acting quickly and professionally, Tom: 📍 Pinpointed their exact What3Words location for 999 🧥 Wrapped his own jacket around the freezing teenager 🚜 Evacuated the family off the hill to a warm estate workshop Paramedics later confirmed Rheyah's blood sugar and pressure had dropped dangerously low. As international mountaineer Nigel Vardy noted about the rescue: "Once someone becomes a casualty in these conditions, they will chill in minutes... it was a life saver." This isn't an isolated incident. Gamekeepers are often the hidden guardians of our uplands. In fact, recent data shows gamekeepers have assisted the public on over 1,500 occasions—including 63 full rescues.

Courtesy of the Northern Pennines Moorland Group. Can you spot the snow this fire has passed over? 👀❄️ This is a great example of responsible land management. Burning when the ground is cold and wet helps protect the mosses and the underlying peat layer. Here in the North Pennines, much of the managed burning is carefully carried out in these cooler, wetter conditions, a world away from the highly destructive spring and summer wildfires that tore through a lot of unmanaged countryside last year. By reducing fuel loads in a controlled way, we’re helping to build a more resilient landscape and lowering the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the future. 🌱🔥
