Après-ski walk in Grainau a few winters ago. I used the very last moments of the snowy season to fool around in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, spending a weekend walking, skiing, and daydreaming.

This is Waxenstein towering over the village, playing peekaboo through a cloud illuminated by the sharp rays of a rapidly setting sun.

The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park is always a good idea.

I spent a weekend discovering Brecon and embarking on somewhat easier recovery walks, like this quick loop from the village up to the Craig Cwm Cynwyn through The Long Gap and back — a very even, broad, gentle trail leading to a rocky saddle between Fan y Big and Cribyn.

Very hazy and summery, it was a blissfully warm day without my usual madness (so no bogs, moors, river crossings or ancient and overgrown trails leading to nowhere).
