A ‘Scoop’ of something, for sure

Been here.👇Potentially very important advice

For fuck's sake, stop stoking a stupid culture war and come up with at least one policy that makes lives better instead - preferably one looking more than 15 mthss ahead. Science is NOT in danger from "woke ideology", which is a bullshit invented culture war concept anyway.

What You Need to Be Warm. A poem with 13 illustrators. Every copy sold helps refugees directly (I never will see a penny from this beautiful book and I've never been happier to know that the money is going elsewhere). Available 26 Oct in the UK, 31 Oct in the US and Australia.

Very sorry to hear today of the passing of Apollo 16's Ken Mattingly. One of the least captured on film, here he is during the mission. It's not great, sadly, but about the best we have.

An incredible explorer. #donwalsh

A bedazzling, colours-of-Christmas sunset. The bitter cold wind set my teeth chattering and my gloved fingers numb, but it was worth it. View from Red Point (Wester Ross) across the Inner Sound and Isle of Raasay to the saw-toothed swagger of the Cuillin, Isle of Skye.

People who aren’t historians are wondering that already

Ahh…right…OK. I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass. Consider this shit shut right down right now.

I've been writing for 18 years this year, to relatively little effect. The upside is that a moment like this is truly special. Up at 5am to slog for 2 yrs, & then your book appears in The Times. Sometimes life is magical. Whatever you do, just keep at it. thetimes.co.uk/article/the-re…

I've just been informed that Robin Campbell, perhaps the most knowledgeable figure on Scottish Mountaineering history (and so much more) has passed away. What a loss. Personally, I'll miss his kindness, wicked sense of humour and positive encouragement. An actual legend.

I'm so grateful for last night. A massive thank you to all the amazing people below that made it happen! ❤️

Sad to hear of the passing of ⁦Alyn Wallace 🌌⁩. He was one of astrophotography’s most vibrant stars. Sharing this story I worked with him on for #natgeo UK in 2019 filled with his images of many, many more. nationalgeographic.co.uk/photography/am…

Aurora over Stamford last night. Never did I ever… #aurora

Bought this, by Simon Ingram, a couple of years ago, but have only settled to read it today. Really fab description. Enlightening history. And an ascent of Ben Nevis in opposite conditions to those in which I was admiring it over the weekend from the Glen Etive Munros (pic 2).

This story is insane… With the name tag and everything. Extraordinary find via ⁦Jimmy Chin⁩ ⁦National Geographic⁩ nationalgeographic.com/adventure/arti…
