If you'd like to support an artist this Christmas then copies of my book, The Great Wilderness, are still available. I have about 1/4 of the stock remaining and then they are gone for good! https://t.co/3M3a9SdqlD

Time to post a few images from my latest book, The Great Wilderness. This is one of the best examples of Lewisian Gneiss I have come across. Flame-like and sculptural in nature it was the perfect foreground subject for this wide scene of the Beinn Deargs and Lochan na Bearta.

7 years ago one of my clients stepped on the buckle for the hipbelt of their backpack in the Drakensberg rendering it useless. For 7 years I have carried a replacement buckle with me in my kit (10g). Yesterday it happened again. Replacement buckle to the rescue!

In the middle hill on the left you can just see a number of tents - @alexnail and Joe Cornish were leading a workshop. I can’t think of a better team to get you to amazing places like this, and provide tuition

Camp for the night with my workshop group. Cloudy but still magical! We’ll try to get a bit higher later.

This is a first for me. A rainbow in front of the Cathedral Ridge in the Drakensberg, South Africa, with individual diffraction of the rain droplets visible!

My friend Zee Ndaba who I have been guiding with in the Drakensberg for 7 years now. It’s wonderful to have her expertise and guidance, but especially her wicked sense of humour!

The Drakensberg went into full epic mode for our group yesterday evening. 3 more nights of our trek to go!

Lovely first evening here in the Drakensberg. Though there is little water at a time when the rivers should be running freely.
