Longsledale is much foggier and cloudier than we'd hoped for when we planned today's walk. I don't think we'll go too much higher!

Apple removes advanced data protection tool in face of UK government request. No suprise. Apple users in the UK lose. Which service will disappear next? Signal?

After endless grey, foggy and wet days we eventually got a super blue sky.day today so we walked up my local hill (Brownthwaite Pike) straight from the house. It's not too high but gives great views across the Lune Valley to the Lake District. We also got a clear view of the local Bronze Age stone circle. Unfortunately the farmer whose land it is on will not allow you to visit it. If you want to learn more about it there's an article on our village website at https://www.castertonparishcouncil.org.uk/a-sketch-of-castertons-prehistoric-stone-circle/

Yesterday we were at the Grand Canyon but there was no internet so I am sharing the view now. It's hard to get your head around just how big, wide and deep it is.

The Narrows in Zion National Park in Utah, USA. A spectacular gorge (canyon if you prefer) but also spectacularly busy. We skipped walking up the river as there were just too many people for our liking and went walking in another area where we hardly saw anyone.

We did a circular walk up Bleaklow Head and Upper Shelf Stones yesterday - two "English Nuttalls" (hills over 2000ft/609m). These are in the Peak District and not very mountainous to look at as it's basically Pennine moorland. Near the second summit are the remains of a USAF B-29 Superfortress which crashed there in low cloud in 1948 with the loss of all 13 crew.

Walking in the #lakedistrict for the first time in a while. Not sure where this year is going. This is Dow Crag near Seathwaite. Making the most of today as there is biblical rain forecast tomorrow.

I'm in Obertauern, Austria for my second week of skiing this season. Sunshine and clouds so far each day (in varying combinations). Far better snow than the last trip (to Italy) 3 weeks ago.

This week I am in Iceland. This the Kambhorn (650m) on the Stokksnes peninsular in the SE. There's apparently a path down the scree from the ridge to the beach but it looks rather steep!

Plenty of snow fell last night and first thing this morning but the weather improved and we were skiing by 10.30 then the day got better and better. This is the view from the hotel tonight as the sun is going down over St Anton, Austria.
