I wanted some stickers for my van of the mountains we’ve climbed here in Scotland but struggled to find any - either I didn’t like the style, or they didn’t exist! So I took matters into my own hands and designed some myself. They’re currently being printed but I’ve got some up on #Etsy for pre-order if you’d like some of your own! Click the link on my profile which contains a link to the shop. Planning to do a whole bunch more - any mountain stickers you’d like to see? #bennevis #thecobbler #suilven #buachailleetivemor #bideannambian #glencoe #thethreesisters #bencruachan #scotlandsouvenirs #scottishmountains

Nice when the walk down the hill has a view! Taking in the view of Ben Cruachan that we walked up earlier in the day - you can see the gully we took to get to the top, then the epic ridge walk over to Stob Daimh - from afar it looks pretty daunting! Not that it was a walk in the park - but it was doable and a super day out. AAAAND... teaser alert ... it inspired me to design some Scotland mountain stickers that I'll be bringing to the shop very soon! Still waiting for them to arrive in print but scroll left for a sneak peak. I'm so excited! .

Learning moment! Did you know that today is the #EQUILUX for us folks in the UK (and central and Northern Europe?). Today, day and night are true equals! Yeah I always thought this happened on the Equinox - Latin for ‘equal night’ - but it’s not so simple.
.
If you look at the day lengths in your city, you will find that the time between sunrise and sunset is a little more than 12 hours on the day of the equinox.
.
The moment when day and night are actually equal falls on a different date. That date is called the equilux… and the exact date depends on where you live (it’s tomorrow for my American friends!)
.
For clarification, the equinox is the moment when the centre of the sun is perpendicular with the equator and it only lasts about a minute.
.
Thank you @markitect69 for the seasonal intel!

Well that was an epic day out! Finally had a chance to go up #BenCruachan yesterday in the most sensational weather, along with its neighbouring #munro #StobDaimh. This is one of our closest hills and it's been high on my list since we moved here, so it was great to tick it off. A long day with plenty of rewards ... views of the isles, Loch Etive, and Rannoch Moor. I'm really pleased with how often we're managing to get out - as its extra rewarding to get to the top of a hill and point out all the other surrounding mountains you've also climbed!

Autumn equinox morning walk! I’ve always liked the idea that the autumnal equinox is a time for balance, reflection, checking in on the year’s projects - what’s flourishing, what hasn’t gone to plan, and what’s no longer relevant (I have a few of those!). And also the last harvest! (A few tomatoes and edible flowers in our case!). I’ll spare you too much of my own internal equinox dialogue but instead share some fun facts which may inspire your own observance of this special day of equal light and dark!
.

Saturn also has equinoxes, but because it takes almost 30 years to orbit the Sun, they only happen about every 15 years.
.

For those located at high northern hemisphere latitudes 🤚, the autumnal equinox paves the way for increased chances to see the aurora borealis. According to NASA, the equinoxes are prime time for the Northern Lights, and geomagnetic activities are more likely to take place in the spring and autumn than in the summer or winter.
.

Mabon is a modern Pagan ritual marking the autumnal equinox. The ritual gives thanks for a plentiful harvest and recognises the need to share the Earth’s fruits in the coming winter months. It is the second of the three Pagan harvest festivals, which include Lammas/Lughnasadh and Samhain.
.

In Japanese culture, the autumn equinox is celebrated with the tradition of Higan. It is a time to remember deceased relatives, as well as mark the passing of the seasons. Higan officially lasts for seven days, beginning three days prior to the equinox and ending three days after it.

Equinox eve! Or GEEKuinox as I often like to celebrate. We’ve been getting enough clear dark skies the last couple weeks to finally nerd out with the telescope and practice our #astrophotography. Tomorrow will bring equal hours of light and dark. I’m some traditions it’s a time for giving thanks for all the amazing stuff we’ve harvested all year. It’s also a time for balance and reflection! I definitely have lots to reflect on and am personally looking forward to the nights drawing in (which means more candles and astronomy!) #mabon #equinox #moon

I think I may have discovered my new favourite hiking sock having been introduced to the wonder of “Monkey Sox” - athletic socks supporting multiple sclerosis charities - thanks to @killinoutdoor. “Monkey Sox are designed to be odd but co-ordinated. This represents how the body acts and feels different left to right when living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).”

Wore their Alpine x1 cushioned merino sock up Ben Lawers last week and they ruled! They’re made of 52% Merino Wool + 45% Polyamide + 3% Elastane. I’ve been a Bridgedale sock wearer for years but with the #MonkeySox comfort combined with cool colours and a great cause, I think these may be the only sock I wear for all things! (Also grabbed a pair of their running socks, too.)

Mark also picked up a pair of @1000milesocks to try on recommendation from staff… double layer, anti-blister socks to eliminate the need for liner socks. We’ll see how they go on the trail!
