Trying another long walk. Eventually I'll get too old to do it, but the only way to find out if I'm too old is to try to do it.

30 miles (more or less) from Auburn to Folsom. I did this same walk about this time last year. So gorgeous. So physically demanding.

Lyft will drop me off in Auburn 30 minutes before sunrise. If it goes like last year, I'll get home at 9 or 10 PM. I'll post pics every 5 miles along the way. Wish me luck!

Beartooth Highway from the winter closure 2300m winds it's way up to the 3200m + Plateau on the SE wall of Rock Creek Canyon in 5 switchbacks. We just hiked up to #3 and turned round for 14K. Getting deep on the road. But not skiable, some real thin areas, better to hike. Probably about 25cm fell in there from last system, less than town. Sheltered some from N-NE flow. -3C not windy at the start, one of the most beautiful days all winter 👍#climate #hiking #dogs #winter #mountains #montana

I've started walking south of the Tyne with some friends who live in Yorkshire, today's walk was great but the highlight undoubtably fantastic views of 4 black grouse on an inbye field. They looked like they were lekking, flashing tail feathers and wings, but I thought they only did that at dawn?

These gulches, or "kuru" in Finnish, are potential death traps in the winter. Snow gets packed into thick and heavy patches on the sides, and when a skier enters, they might collapse on top of them. I always avoid these like the plague, though they are very pretty to watch. I once met two ski tourers who claimed that they always ski through these and their granny taught them to do so. In my opinion, it's just a disaster waiting to happen.

My lovely walk today was cut short because I rolled my ankle on a pothole on a country lane, fell down and hurt my knee and wrist. So rather than a 15km walk, I ended up only walking about 7km. When I got home and took my boot off, my ankle swelled up and is now in agony. So my boot kept my ankle stable and pain free, which I guess is a good thing, but I may have walked on it too much.
We have a walk planned with friends tomorrow as well, hope I’ll be able to walk then. It’s not looking hopeful 😭😭.
