The last time I caught up with Jamie was at a friends birthday party. His passion and knowledge of nature, and his dry humour and love of language, captivated us as always. He’ll always be a bit of the better Borrowdale.

OK, so we’ve been lucky enough to have spent some time in Argentina, with a decent chunk of that time in Patagonia. As a climber and geologist, it’s been fascinating. Hiking through and across the valleys around Fitzroy and Cerrito Torre were a highlight of course. . #argentina #patagonia #fitzroy

Had a quick look at the bird site, people have apparently exposed that oil ie ‘fossil fuels’ is not actually ‘made of dinosaur fossils’, but that it is ‘naturally made inside earth’. Slow clap.

Was uncertain about posting this photo. Actually took very few but still felt compelled to visit out of profound respect. Everything shrouded in fog seemed somehow fitting. The worst images were captured forever in my mind. @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social
