Legal Stuff…
Backpacking is an activity that carries an inherent risk. I can take no responsibility for any injuries (or worse) that are incurred through trying to emulate any walk in this blog.
If you don't know what the risks are, find out and get trained! Even better, find an instructor that can teach you the safe way to do things and make sure that you carry the proper kit.
All images are copyright Rob Pollard. Do not use without permission. Asking would be to your advantage too, as the ones posted on this blog are scaled down quite considerably from the originals - plus they represent only a tiny fraction of the images taken on each walk! :)
