Special: Chase Game 2019

So. I did a rather odd thing over the long weekend of 25th-27th May 2019. I and my friend Climbing Programmer played a game that we'd thought up several years previously: for three days, Climbing Programmer chased me around Britain – I had a GPS tracker on me that he had access to, and a … Continue reading Special: Chase Game 2019 →

It's quite snowy up here! For some reason having snow in my beard and moustache makes me feel like Gandalf.

Naturally when I saw a place called "Goat Prison" on my map I had to go to have a look! It (third photo) turned out to be a a place where a little river canyon widened out into a big sort of craggy hole in the ground – which I indeed imagine a goat might find it somewhat harder to get out of than otherwise. (But then, goats are great at climbing, so I expect they'd probably manage it.) Unfortunately it was very full of trees so, while very dramatic to look at in person, is quite hard to appreciate in a photo. However, the surrounding hills come across quite nicely!
