  1. Hiked for 3hrs today with my support worker. I rolled my ankle an hour in but soldiered on. Only really hurt the last 45mins of the hike. Not bruised or swollen, so I'm lucky, but giving gym a miss tomorrow until the pain subsides.

    On the plus side, I had a great day. We saw a slew of kangaroos, three gang gangs, two massive Eagles, one kookaburra, and a plethora of other birds.

  2. The trouble with having too much gear is that you can easily forget what you've already got. I've got a tent I've never used and was just about to buy a bivvy bag until I remembered that I've actually got one. Duh. 🤷‍♂️

  4. “Splendour in the Mud”:
    Climate breakdown and car dependency put an end to commercial drive-in music activities

    A “report found 85% of festivalgoers had been affected by either floods, storms, heatwaves or the threat of bushfires at an event they had attended in the past 12 months.”

    The “Splendour in the Mud” festival left tens of thousands of motorists bogged and stranded in torrential rain. Extreme heat from greenhouse gas emission is also eliminating the ‘drive-in’ model for outdoor mass gatherings.

  5. Spent time under my favorite oak tree doing, what I call, introspective work. This is the mental work of acknowledging my feelings and letting them pass. I've spent my whole life running from feelings I didn't understand, trauma I didn't know I had. It's still a hard skill to master, but I'm getting better at not running from my own feelings. I've been overwhelmed by the state of the administration in this country. The anxiety stirs up feelings from my past where I've felt the same, pressure coming in from all sides, not safe, insecurity. I finally worked on those feelings today, letting them come to the surface so I can let them leave. My work is never done. Although none of this is my fault, it is my responsibility to work through it. #majordepressivedisorder #mentalhealth #journaling #anxiety #wordvomit #thegreatoutdoors

  10. Kamikōchi (上高地) is a mountainous highland valley in the western part of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In the autumn of 2022, we visited there on a perfect day to enjoy the splendid scenery, and hiked from Kappa Bridge to Myōjin Pond. A perfect place to recover from Tokyo’s hustle and bustle. 🏔️🥾
