A pebble from each year I’ve done the Coast to Coast over the past 10 years, and a photo from June 2017 just before my first crossing (I wore shorts back then 😲) and from September this year just before my 10th. Around 2,000 miles, guided over 100 people along the route and countless memories.

Photos from Day 14 - and our final day - of our Coast to Coast to Robin Hood’s Bay. 15 miles of moorland, woodland and coastline, and the end of the journey at the North Sea, or is it just the beginning?. This was my 10th C2C, and it was just as good as the 1st!

Photos from our last day of our 5-day Isle of Mull Adventure Week and we split into two groups… one group went off to Iona and I headed up to the Trig Point on Dùn da Ghaoithe (757m) with magnificent views. This Trig Point is a bit of a rarity as it’s a cylindrical concrete ‘Vanessa’ pillar

Photos from day 1 of our 5-day Isle of Mull Adventure Week and a dreich day! But nothing can dampen our spirits, so after a coffee at Salen, we headed off through to walk ‘coast to coast’ over to Loch Na Keal, which was teeming with seabirds. We then headed back via the hillfort of Cnoc na Sròine.
