Ridge Walker. Chasing the setting sun, scurrying over another damn sand dune after another, I told myself, “well you’ve come this far, so what’s one more dune to tackle?” As luck would have it, this ridge presented itself with nice contrasts with a mere 10 minutes of sun rays left before day’s end. Stubbornness pays off once in a while.

Took on the challenge to ride up to Hurricane Ridge, in the Olympic National Park. 19 miles of continuous ascending with 12% grades at times.

- Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada -

We walked a number of trails during our visit to Algonquin Park - the 'Centennial Ridges Trail' was the most difficult and longest of them all but it proved to be the most rewarding. After a long climb we broke out of the dense Autumn forest onto a ridge and this was the view that greeted us.

The view from Bruach na Frithe looking along the Black Cuillin Ridge. I always think of "Mordor" from the Lord of the Rings when I look at this.

“There is no such sense of solitude as that which we experience upon the silent and vast elevations of great mountains. Lifted high above the level of human sounds and habitations, among the wild expanses and colossal features of Nature, we are thrilled in our loneliness with a strange fear and elation – an ascent above the reach of life's expectations or companionship, and the tremblings of a wild and undefined misgivings.”

― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Een lange tijd / om te komen tot begrip / rimpelt het tijdpad / van m'n zinnen."

A storm was brewing as we made our way down from the ridge above Lago Sorapsis

Sometimes you get lucky and get a great pic without any planning or traveling. That's the Peaks of Otter in the distance.

After I had spent some time at Mogshade Pond, I headed down through Bolderwood to find some areas that might still be foggy.

Thankfully at Vinney Ridge, next to the A35, the area was still quite foggy and the sun hadn't yet risen above the trees.

This ridge virtually leads to nowhere, as very rare people climb it. I went here just to see the main summit from a different perspective and with the summit of Stol/Hochstuhl in the background.

Kingston Ridge and the Sussex countryside is looking pallid, following a long winter, which has lasted until early April. The overnight temperature dipped to -3.6°C at Shoreham Airport and -5°C inland. Last year, this location was lush and green. Next week looks more promising, with maximum temperatures nearer the seasonal average of 12°C.

Spent 4 hours hiking this 7.2 miles trail with 2,153 ft elevation gain. The view is certainly worth the challenge.
