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.

Dog walk on the fell. Some time for reflection in the best of company, Iggy Dog and Flynn Dog. Dogs are the greatest of companions.

First time it’s been above freezing at night in over a week up here, on the fell.

I recall the winter periods 2016-2018 were great up there

Finding a ball under the moonlight. Zero head torches were used in the making of this photo. Good boy.

Fresh dog walk on the fell. Certainly feels like snow is in the air. 👌

Wrap up and travel safe.
