  1. En route back home to Scotland 😌 stopped over in north Pennines at a nice quiet campsite in Ousby. Decided to go up Cross Fell the highest hill in the area at 893m. Not far off Munro height. Nice hill and decent views from top when clag lifted a bit. #hills #england #pennines #hiking

  2. I don’t know the exact names of the peaks hidden behind these clouds, but the photo was taken in Hookey Valley. The day was cold and cloudy, but sometimes clouds like these can be a blessing. I like the contrast between the green hill and the clouds. There is some magic, maybe even a mystery, in photos like this...

  3. So, I'm pretty excited about this book. This is absolutely a work of fiction. I begin by stating that. Nine years ago, however, I encountered the main character of this book in real life. A rural county sheriff who was a bad person. Investigating him and his cronies led to this tall tale of corruption, crime, and the sorts of malfeasance that can fester in a remote Appalachian setting where the law is whatever the powerful say it is. The names and crimes are altered for fictional purposes. My mother was a proud West Virginia "hillbilly," a term she used to describe herself, not as the derogatory inference as it has become today. She loved her West Virginia roots and her big family. So, the book's flavor is steeped in her corny sayings and my grandmother's words. I can still hear "Lawsy mercy" in my head. So, someday when "It's hotter 'n blazes" or when "it's colder than a well-digger's ankles" outside, I hope you'll curl up and enjoy reading my Appalachian novel GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. The ebook is now up for preorder at all online retailers with a delivery date of 8/1/26. MONEY. MOUNTAINS. MURDER. Enjoy. #novel #fiction #reading #readingCommunity #readers #read #author #authors #readThis #preorder #writingCommunity #appalachia #hills #newBook #new #books #mastodon #bookstodon #booksky #bookReview #writing #publishing #country #character #sheriff #corruption #crimeFiction #crime #book #slang #southern #words #criminal #murder #marijuana #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden

  4. This morning's road cycling involved a good amount of climbing and large quantities of wind - but since I had company and we took it easy, I enjoyed every bit. What am I saying here? ...I nearly always enjoy the climbing!

  5. Two more views from Mullaghmore in the Burren on Saturday. We could feel the slight warmth from the exposed rocks, and it was mild enough to picnic at the cairn on the top.

  6. We went up Mullaghmore in the Burren yesterday. I'll never tire of these extraordinary hills. The two visible ones are Knockanes (Cnocán, "little hill") and Slieve Roe (Sliabh Rua, "red mountain")

  7. Nipped out for just under 70km with a mate yesterday, the first long ride on the new bike. About 90% of it was off-road; down towpaths, old railway lives and other tracks. Great fun, and we missed the rain. Mind you, I could have done without the relentless 14-16%ers in the last 5km! I've never been more happy to have a huge sprocket on the back!
