Stunning words, incredible pictures - I AM SOOOOO INSPIRED!!!!! Jill, Joel, you are awesome, awesome people - what a fabulous adventure! Have hit the 'save' button so I can read it every day when I finally grind my expedition head into gear. EPIC!

(I hike with map, compass, OSMaps app.... and the emergency services - both personal (Jim) and national (999) on speed dial. I still find it IMPOSSIBLE not to get lost.)

Thank you so much Rebecca!!! I feel like we would really get along ❤️🤣 I get lost too, hence insistence on satellite topo and over-reliance on Joel to navigate when every potential rock outcrop looks the same to me (he can somehow tell them apart? What?!) xx

Oh, I totally get that!!!! I am baffled at how Jim finds his way around. He often teases me by asking if I recognise the road we're on to get home from wherever it is we might have been... and of course I never do. To me every road represents a brand-new journey - but more often than not it turns out that we're just on the same road we were on this morning, just travelling in the opposite direction! 🙄🤣

Wow, great pictures! Are you familiar with the 2007 film, 'Into the Wild'? I wrote about it in 2020 https://worldaccordingtome.blog/2020/08/30/going-deeper-into-the-wild-2/

Love this Richard, a brilliant dissection of a powerful book and movie. And a quote from Pullman to boot - he's my fave too.
