We had been thinking about hiking Rhinog Fawr for a while but had been put off by reports from other hikers' opinions that the mountain was a little rough and rugged. Well, it was a little bit pathless in some parts but on the whole it was quite nice. Autumn will be scenic because of the amount of heather that covers the mountain so we will return.

Need to get up this one, as the views look amazin. You can see for miles and down Loch Maree. The view of the craggy fortress of Slioch across the waters of Loch Maree is one of the classics of Scotland featured in countless calendars. At close quarters Slioch offers a reasonably straightforward ascent given that formidable appearance, and the summit views over Loch Maree and into the Fisherfield wilderness are sensational.

Terrain

A long, tough walk with some steep, rough terrain and boggy ground; pathless section on return.

love this place - definitely going back for more self portraits.

many thanks to all of you. xo

Arrived at this little surprise the hard way - a pathless slog up and over the flanks of Sgurr nan Each, then descended to the upper Allt na Dunaiche and continued down the main Bla Bheinn path. At that time in March, there was no snow on Bla Bheinn and not much water coming over the falls. A few weeks later after a rain and a late season dusting of snow, decided to come up here the 'easy' way, via the Bla Bheinn path. As usual, I made my husband very nervous by getting as close as 'safe' to the edge of the vertical drop-off.

Explored (Number 23) April 16, 2022.

A return visit to Sgorr Tuath for sunset at the weekend. I've tried three different routes up this hill and still not found and easy one! Pathless, boggy, lots of random deep holes, fun coming down in the dark!

Mist getting a little ahead of herself ... (indeed they were rather frustrated that the old coger wasn't getting up through this rough pathless terrain as fast as they could .. luckily in energectic moments like these you can ignore most things!!)

Standing by the roadside at New Romney this morning, the sunrise cast golden rays of wonder over the shingle shoreline.

From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel

It was one of those crazy busy days, which was a little illogical because half the staff is away on vacation and it felt busier than an average day.

Strange how the quiet times turn out to be busiest.

Oh well; it does make the days go quickly.

Grabbed this shot as the city was waking up this morning, and couldn't figure out a way to edit it. Not that I think it's perfect, but to me, this is a shot to leave SOOC.

Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

We went down by a beautiful, pathless valley. (dia scan)

Kaninska škrbina (notch) is the point where Findenegg Couloir ends, coming up from the northern side, from Kanin Glacier. The next summit in front of us, heading eastwards, is Kaninski vršič. It has two peaks, separated by an interesting limestone plate. But its most interesting feature is this huge cauldron in the W face. I found no reports if someone was exploring it. What's in the bottom of it? Can it be reached? Is it continuing in a cave? The marked path goes up the slope by its right edge, but also from there you can not see much more. The mountain behind Kaninski vršič is Srednji vršič / Monte Ursic, 2541 m. It's pathless, usually climbed by the W ridge, which requires mastering UIAA II degree.

The ridge of Dolge stene (Long Walls) leads to the summit of Grintovec, the highest peak of Kamnik & Savinja Alps. It's a nice pathless alternative to the normal route, requiring just a little of easy climbing.

This very green, lush spot gets its name from the Old Red Sandstone rock over which it tumbles. It sits in a remote, tucked out of the way corner of moorland near the Highland Boundary Fault at Conic Hill. I opted for a 2km walk across pathless, boggy, tussocky moorland, trampled by highland cattle rather than a 5km walk along paths & tracks. It was surprisingly rough going and the small 3 metre fall felt like poor recompense. I'd been intrigued by the name and description since I 1st came across it 4yrs ago in a book on Scottish waterfalls and had been wanting to visit ever since. I don't think I will be back for a while if ever although there are a couple of remote hill tops behind it that are like beacons to lovers of lonely places. The moorland around here has numerous secretive glacial erratics hiding in the long grass. I checked for ring & cup markings but never saw any.

Reflection canyon is a remote side canyon of Lake Powell. And I believe it was Michael Melford’s awarded photo collection "A Dry Red Season" (taken in 2005, and initially published on National Geographic Magazine in April 2006) that revealed this incredible landscape to public -- make sure to check his fantastic photo here and here.

Fascinated by Michael’s pioneer work, many photographers and outdoor enthusiasts started to search the route to the view point he reached – a few of them succeeded indeed. However, the water level increased significantly since 2005, and the rock fins forming the stunning curves, regarding as the unique feature of the canyon, were partly submerged. Until this spring, the water level finally dropped down below 3600’, and the spectacle captured by Michael was expected to be shown again.

After 2-hour drive on the Hole-in-the-Rock Rd before sunrise, I started the 16-mile round-trip day hike over rough pathless terrain, with the company of my friends Wan and Guang. Following the contours indicated by GPS, we tried to stay at the same height as long as possible, and crossed or walked around a few deep washes and canyons. We arrived at the view point right before noon. However, the entire sky was covered by storm clouds at that time. Let alone the lack-of-contrast canyon, we were more worried about possible flash flood that may cause the Hole-in-the-Rock Rd impassable. After waiting anxiously for an hour, miracles finally happened in front of us -- the sky cleared up, the wind stopped, the sun broke through clouds and created speechlessly stunning reflection in the water! Such a spectacular scene of Reflection Canyon was NEVER shown by any photo before. So grateful that Mother Nature chose us as the witnesses!

The massif of Dobrča is rounded and quite humble. It's a part of Kamnik and Savinja Alps, more a kind of foothills. But in its northern part there are a few ridges and valleys where perhaps only local hunters go. This is the end of a side valley of Draga, which is otherwise quite popular for hiking. These wild, pathless slopes stopped me and I anyway did not have another 2 hours of time to continue. Over the screes only animal traces go.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

Did wander darkling in the eternal space,

Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth

Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air...

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.

The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars

Did wander darkling in the eternal space,

Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth

It was reasonably clear last night so I headed out at 9.30pm up into the Campsie Fells- a handy 15 minute drive away. An owl flapped off from the middle of the road as I rounded a bend and climbed up into the hills over The Crow Road. It was interesting crossing the pathless, tussocky hillside keeping my torch off as much as possible for fear that someone would see it on the dark hillside and call the mountain rescue. I tried combining a few ideas for this shot. It's not perfect and that cloud spoils it but it's all good practice.

Having come across this poem from Lord Byron on another photography site (There Is Pleasure In The Pathless Woods), I've come to really love and appreciate the words he wrote to describe the beauty of nature...well, him, John Muir and many others! This view looking to the south across Lake Chelan seemed to best capture that look and feel of what he wrote. Nearby is a grassy meadow, stretching from side to side. On the shoreline are some very lucky people who have this amazing view to soak in every day. Far off in the distance and stretching far off into the distance are mountains and peaks of the Bonanza Massif on the right and Sawtooth Ridge on the left. For this image, I used some CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) which seemed to best bring out this late afternoon stop on a bike ride in the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and North Cascades National Park Complex.

I thought I would try something different as I was walking I came across this in the woods

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods.

-Lord Byron

This shot is from my wild camp at Llyn Glas Snowdon last week. I've wanted to camp here for a while, It's maybe the prettiest mountain Llyn in Snowdonia. On the quiet side of Snowdon so no crowds, the walk in is a steep ascent of around 500m in 1.7km from Blean y Nant (the route I took) or from Pen y Pas along the Pyg Track then a pathless tricky route around the side of Crib Goch. The protruding rock is Clogwyn y Person, which sticks out of the side of Crib Goch and Garnedd Ugain. It's a popular location for climbers with loads of crags and gully's to climb. I could here big crashes all night at first I thought it must be rock falls but I realized it must have been the ice thawing out and crashing down off the gully's and cliffs.

The legendary 85km South Coast Track negotiates the lonesome coastline of Southwest National Park, Tasmania, with nothing between the coast and Antarctica but thundering ocean waves.

Local experienced bushwalkers rate South Coast Track as "moderate", leaving some space on their grading scale for pathless rambling across wild Tasmania; for an average hiker, though, this trek may well belong to the more difficult ones, especially in adverse weather.

-----

After three years, I was fortunate enough to return to Tasmania, literally across the globe and 10 time zones; four flights were needed to get from winter Prague to early summer in Hobart.

Hiking the iconic South Coast Track was stunningly beautiful. That sense of remoteness and unspoiled wilderness... each day was different, and all the seven days spent on tackling the South Coast Track contributed to an unforgettable experience in this very unique landscape located on the other side of the Earth.

When the world ends

Collect your things

You're coming with me

When the world ends

You tuckle up yourself with me

Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing

The day the world is over

Well be lying in bed

I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall

We will rise as the buildings crumble

Float there and watch it all

Amidst the burning, well be churning

You know, love will be our wings

The passion rises up from the ashes

When the world ends

When the world ends

You're gonna come with me

Were going to be crazy

Like a river bends

Were going to float

Through the criss cross of the mountains

Watch them fade to nothing

When the world ends

You know thats whats happening now

I'm going to be there with you somehow, oh...

I'm going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car

Your legs wont work cause you want me so

You just lie spread to the wall

The love you got is surely

All the love that I would ever need

I'm going to take you by my side

And love you tall, til the world ends

Oh, but don't you worry about a thing

No, cause I got you here with me

Don't you worry about a

Just you and me

Floating through the empty, empty

Just you and me

Oh, graces

Oh, grace

Oh, when the world ends

We'll be burning one

When the world ends

We'll be sweet makin' love

Oh, you know when the world ends

I'm going to take you aside and say

Lets watch it fade away, fade away

And the worlds done

Ours just begun

Its done

Ours just begun

We're gonna dive into the emptiness

We'll be swimming

I'm going to walk you through the pathless roads

I'm going to take you to the top of the mountain thats no longer there

I'm going to take you to bed and love you, I swear

Like the end is here

I'm going to take you up to

I'm going to take you down on you

I'm going to hold you like an angel, angel

I'm going to love you

I'm going to love you

When the world ends

I'm going to hold you

When the world is over

We'll just be beginning...

The weather wasn't that bad. It was a little cold yet the scenery was a pleasure to look at.

hiking this mountain I will remember forever, my knees are still sore on the thought of it! extremely steep, pathless.. hiking Inste Kongen dragged me thru a swamp, make me crawl uphill on all 4 (THAT steep!).. with every step I cursed my mother for having me! and yet I managed to take a decent photo of it so I could remember the ..experience.. and share with others!

It's a small, unimportant summit with only a little prominence. A pathless ascent is possible through dwarf pines, from the right. In the distance Velika planina is seen.

The West Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe na Gàidhealtachd an Iar) is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland, with the official status of Long Distance Route. It is 154.5 km long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route. It is managed by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. About 80,000 people use the path every year, of whom over 15,000 walk the entire route.

(Wikipedia)

In April, I solo-hiked on and around the northern part of the famous West Highland Way, starting in Ardlui and finishing in Fort William five days later after a set of detours from the main trail.

The itinerary was as follows: Ardlui -> pass below Ben Lui -> Inveroran -> Kingshouse -> Luibelt ruin -> Fort William.

During the third day, I enjoyed a beautiful though a little bit cold morning in Inveroran, crossed Rannoch Moor, climbed Meall a' Bhùiridh via its pathless southern slopes, and finished my journey in a beautiful river setting in Kingshouse.
