Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax. Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

Have any of you clever folks got any expertise in searching the National Archives / Lloyds Register? My tiny brain is about to melt! (I'm trying to find what a ship called Pass of Balmaha was up to in Aug/Sept 1914... 🤯) Thank you!

By way of an introduction here, an interview/podcast thingemy with Dan Aspel all the way back in 2022. It’s a moment in time, and times change, but tells a tale and tracks a journey mountainairpodcast.uk/episodes/2-0...

As someone who works with a lot of archive and environmental footage, this film from the Kendal Mountain Festival has stuck with me. 11 minutes of cool cold mountain landscapes voiced by Sir Chris Bonington

Nice jog with Nuis 🐕 up Glen Rosa. Not as far as I'd intended, but I have a rule not to push myself too hard at the moment. #BluePools not very blue today! It's hard just getting out at this time of year. Every December I set myself the challenge to get #outsideeveryday Starts tomorrow! Join me?
