A wander from Buckden to Cray, on to Hubberholme and back to Buckden.
Proper chilly and with perfect low winter light.
A lovely way to finish what has been a difficult year.

20 images from my recent walk in #nepal to the North and South sides of #kangchenjunga in November. Sensational walking, brutal at times with the late October snowfall generated by Cyclone Montha. 1/5

Good interview with Helias Millerioux who is refreshingly uncircumspect about the downsides of commercial involvement in mountaineering.
