Good morning, #throwbackthursday to sunrise morning from Louise in the Highlands. This time next week I will be starting a whole new chapter. Have a great day, I believe the 🌞 is making an appearance! ☕️😎🤗 xx

Greenland’s glaciers are losing ice at an unprecedented pace 🇬🇱 The bad news: vast quantities of freshwater entering the North Atlantic could disrupt major ocean currents - changing ocean ecosystems and European climate. The good news: this GIANT collaboration is getting to the bottom of it, fast ⬇

Great to get a sunset at this weekends camp high up in the Scottish mountains ☀️☺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #sunset #mountains #goldenhour #camp #simplethingsinlife

Over 4,100ft (1250m) of climbing today & bagged 2 more Munros taking me to 77 - lots more photos to follow. Busy replenishing my energy in my shelter 😋 #munrobagging #munro #mountains #scotland #greatoutdoors

Finally a break in the weather & work to get out into the mountains 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #scotland #munrobagging

Lovely week in Scotland with my mum and dad. Peace, quiet and a garden full of birds - the ideal holiday cottage 👍😊🙏

Great to get plenty of snow topped of with a sunset camp & 2 more Munros taking me to 75 now - another 207 to look forward to 👍😊 ❄️☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #scotland #munrobagging #snow #mountains #sunset

Sunset pitch before snow came ☀️❄️👍☺️ #scotland #camp #winter #snow #goldenhour 📍Ben Oss, Scottish Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Woke up to lots more snow yesterday at camp on Ben Oss so we walked back out rather than push on for another two Munros. Visibility poor & snowed all day, tough going & waist deep in places. Looked beautiful coming back through tree line 👍😊❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #munrobagging #snow #winter #mountains #scotland

Two more Munros today No. 74 Beinn Dubhchraig & No. 75 Ben Oss. Camped up on the back of Ben Oss at 2,900ft and it’s started snowing 👍😊❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #MunroBagging #mountains #snow #winter #camp

Nice start to the day - 2 miles in on frozen snow 👍😊❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #munrobagging #benoss #benlui #scotland #highlands #winter

All the best for 2026 - looking forward to getting back out and up to Scotland to bag some more Munros 👍☺️

10 years ago today - taking Sergeant Warren and some young squaddies from Weeton Barracks through the flood waters to help a flooded nursing home in Croston - it was chest high in places.

Above the clouds on Skiddaw Summit 3 years ago ☺️ #mountains #greatoutdoors #wonderful_places #cloud #inversion #winter #snow #wainwrights #lakedistrictnationalpark

A brief rest stop in Sweden soaking up this view - Unna lake with Knivkammen behind (Sep-22) ☺️🇸🇪 #sweden #mountains #abiskonationalpark #arcticcircle

Great winter conditions last weekend - 60,000 steps and 6,500ft of climbing to bag 3 more Munros taking me to 73 now 👍😊❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #winter #mountains #snow #munrobagging #scotland #greatoutdoors #winteriscoming

End of a long day in the snow - 1-2ft in places and drifts much deeper. Two more Munros taking me to 73 😊👍⛄️❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #mountains #greatoutdoors #scotland #munrobagging #snow #winter #winterwonderland #winteriscoming

A chilly -9 outside the van yesterday morning! Was toasty warm inside though 😊 #vanlife #munrobagging #scotland #winter

Some lovely colour in the sky this morning behind Ben More and Stob Binnein 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #scottishhighlands #munrobagging

Munro number 71!- Ben Challum. Nice walk up from the van then hit the wind and spindrift near the summit 👍😊 #munrobagging #winter #snow #mountains #scotland

And so my camper van dream begins! 👍😊 #campervan #sunlightcliff #vanlife #toinfinityandbeyond

All set for the drive north to Bonnie Scotland 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #munrobagging #winter #mountains

Hoping for some sunshine & snow this weekend 🙏 #skiddaw #lakedistrict #snow #sunshine #clouds #mountains

Amazing inversions & golden hour colour tonight - birds eye view (from drone) of my camp circled in red. #goldenhour #inversion #scotland #camp #benvane #arrocharalps

Great camp tonight at 800m on Ben Vane looking down Loch Lomond 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #scotland #munrobagging #camp #benvane

What a difference a day makes! - sunshine all day & pitched up with a brew with view looking out to Loch Lomond 👍😊 #brewwithaview #lochlomond #benvane #wildcamp #scotland #munrobagging #mountains #simplethngs

No brew with a view this morning - it can’t always be sunrises & starry skies. On to Ben Vane this morning for another Munro 👍😊 #intheclouds #scotland #munrobagging

Couple of snaps from today’s hike before I entered the clouds! #lochlomond #benvane #scotland #munrobagging #munro #mountains

Munro #67 Ben Vorlich - in the cloud from 600m and felt like someone was power washing the summit when I got there! Rain & 30-40mph wind. Now pitched up having tea 😋👍 #munrobagging #munro #scotland

Finally… all set for another adventure! Scotland bound in the morning 😊 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #MunroBagging #Scotland

This is why I love Scotland
