Field notes / Northern landscapes

Moraine

A small collection of observations from the trail: stone, water, trees and the changing seasons.

Along the ridge

The most interesting paths often follow the edge between two landscapes. A ridge can reveal a forest on one side and open water on the other, with each turn offering a different view.

Travelling lightly

Start with a short route and leave room to pause. Take water, a map and a layer for changing weather. Keep to marked paths, carry everything home and leave quiet places as you found them.

Notes for a clear morning

Look closely at the ground as well as the horizon. Rounded stones, moss and the direction of small streams each tell part of the story of a landscape.
