Winter skills with Mammut Mountain School and Ellis Brigham for their Winter Weekend ❄️

Self-arrest practice (so much fun), crampons on, avalanche pits, snowy ridges and a summit of Helvellyn all in one day!!

I learnt so much, laughed a lot, and left feeling genuinely excited and so much more confident for more winter days like this. Huge thank you for an incredible experience to our instructor Chris, couldn’t recommend the courses enough!





(Course paid for myself but all kit very kindly gifted with no obligation to post, but it was incredible!)

Perfect conditions up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Eryri a couple of weeks ago ⛰️❄️☁️. A cloud inversion, loads of snow and a brocken spectre makes for a pretty magical hike!!

If the snow could please return before the winter is over for some more snowy hikes & swims 🤞🏼🩵

Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Scotland.

If you are planning a trip to the Isle of Mull, Calgary Bay is an incredible stop on the west coast for walking, swimming, and relaxed evenings by the sea.

We arrived in the evening, and I couldn’t resist a swim at sunset. We had the entire beach completely to ourselves, one of those things that makes staying in Scotland during the shoulder seasons super special. I stayed overnight in my VW T4 campervan for a £10 donation!! To stay here!! This makes it a perfect stop to include in a Mull road trip itinerary.

We visited in early autumn and it was so peaceful! This beach is stunning in any season, especially on a clear day when the water turns that unreal turquoise.

It is also a great stop if you are building a Mull road trip itinerary or heading towards Tobermory.

Have you been to Calgary Bay yet?

Proof that hikes do not need to be long, high or strenuous to be rewarding ✨

Skirrid Fawr in the Black Mountains, the most easterly part of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) is a perfect example! Stunning views all round for this one 😍

🗺️ Walk to the trig point and back is less than 5km and just over 300m of ascent.
📍Skirrid Fawr, under 2 hours from Birmingham
🅿️ Park at the National Trust car park (NP7 8NH)
🩱 If you fancy a wild dip, this one is under 20 minutes from Keepers Pond for a gorgeous cold swim!

You will not be disappointed with this small but mighty walk! 🏔️🧡

What-a-day ❄️🏔️🥹😭🥰🩵✨☁️

Snowy mountain day up Yr Wyddfa with some of my favourites! Hoped to be able to reach the summit and a teeny chance of a clear view, never ever expected THIS 😭. Absolute heaven, think we actually stayed up there for an hour waiting for the show to finish. Up there with one of the best mountain days of my life. Arrived to absolutely no view and then the clouds parted and I could of cried 🥹.

Top top day out all round, MAGIC 🪄✨

The summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) yesterday was probably the best view I’ve ever ever had. A day I’ll never forget 🥰🩵

It was so unexpected, absolutely covered in cloud on our way up and then all of a sudden it cleared. Absolutely WOW 🥹🥹

So much mountain joy when it’s covered in all the snow 🤩❄️🩵😍🏔️

I love winter so much and tapping the summit of Cadair Idris was JOY, I love it in the summer but looking all white makes it extra glorious. Hoping for some more snowy fun this weekend 🌨️

(I hope it goes without saying that please please check the forecast, have the right kit and do stuff within your limits. Turn around if you’re unsure or just go for a lovely low level wander, everything looks glorious dusted in snow 🥰. Please know how to read a map and be prepared 🤙🏼)

Festive dips at Keepers added sparkle ✨. That wind chill these last couple of weeks has been extreme! Cold water I find no issue, but the wind when you get out is so so difficult!!

Hot chocs post swim soon made me feel warmer!!

Week 1/52 2026 ✨🌞

A collection of magical moments from the first week of 2026, some big and beautiful, some small gorgeous glimmers.

Every week a commitment to look at my week and find 20 photos to smile about. Some might have lovely days out, some might be just reading and knitting. All lovely, and I am so lucky for all of it 🥰
