    Should Munro Baggers have these?

    This is a typical waymark post in the Italian Alps, also seen in Slovenia, Austria and possibly all European mountain areas. You’ll find them at crossroad paths, trail start/end points; in fact, everywhere. If you get lost in these countries, you are either blind or the weather is really bad (happened to me, but [...]

    Neist Point

    A very strange thing indeed. You walk onto the shore and all around you are piles of rocks, little cairns constructed carefully, often tediously, just to be different from its neighbour.

    Magalluf

    Sometimes you take a photograph and it just works on so many levels. It was Easter, just before the hordes from the mainland arrived and this was the site that greeted us after breakfast. Absolute peace with not a body in sight. Just think a week later you wouldn’t be able to see the sand. [...]
