Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It’s goodbye to the Alps for the moment. Our hiking started a few days ago in Villars-sur-Ollon, where I spent my teenage years. #hiking #Vaud #Switzerland #nostalgia 181
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026We are leaving Binn this morning after a wonderful few days’ hiking. It is nice to see that the way of the Senns gets a mention. 120
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Unpopular opinion. I care as much about Ed Sheeran’s opinion on politics as I do about Andy Burnham’s on music and I couldn’t care less what they think of the likelihood principle, although I would like the latter to understand basic arithmetic. 140
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Today we did two walks from Binn. The first was along the Twingi gorge. The second was to Heiligkreuz and back. #hiking #Binntal #Wallis #Valais #Switzerland 070
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Today we took the bus from Binn to Brunnebiel, walked to the Albrunpass on the Swiss and back to Binn. (I am shattered.) #hiking #Binntal #Valais #Wallis #Switzerland 380

Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Today was a mixture of beach level strolling and cliff top walking from Robin Hood’s Bay to Stoupe Beck and back via Boggle Hole. #hiking #Yorkshire 070
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Yesterday we had a stroll around Guisborough and today we are in Robin Hood’s Bay. Both are in the historic county of #Yorkshire. 050
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Today’s hike was up Roseberry Topping and Little Roseberry Topping from Guisborough. It was a bit of a bushwhack at the end and Mrs S was not pleased, so I had to eat the pie which is humble. (But a good walk, nonetheless.) #hiking #NYorkMoors 140
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 14/08/2026LNER send me a seat number notification reminder. This is very helpful. 👍 They also invite me to sit down and get comfortable while then informing me that there is no platform yet. #AIfail 010

Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Wonderful stuff. Rather ashamed that as a Swiss I had to learn the optimal way to climb mountains at an advanced age after decades of hiking in mountains from someone based in Belgium. 020

Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I mean Switzerland/Sweden or Britain/Brazil, they sound so similar. Meatballs or muesli, tea or coffee, Lucerne or Lulea, Copacabana or Clacton. It’s so confusing. 010
Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026If you confuse Switzerland and Sweden you have my sympathy. I have a similar issue with Britain and Brazil. 150

Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Unpopular opinion. The availability of expensive medicines is not a problem. The non-availability of cheap medicines is. Who is failing to provide cheap medicines? It’s not only those who are providing expensive medicines but also everyone else. 270

Stephen Senn @stephensenn.bsky.social · 20/07/2026TBF, referring to football as “soccer” is very confusing, so if some teams start playing “sock ‘em”, nobody should be surprised. 021
