@ChrisWillx Congrats brother. You have been on fire this year !

Sunrise self portrait. The peak in the distance is the goal. Coming soon ... Not for any reason except curiousity and the joy of movement. Exploration of external and internal landscapes. Resonance with nature.

first jog in a few weeks... legs felt like they were made of concrete. Amazing how much spring has slipped away since feeling sprightly as in December. But we back ! Back outta mind and into nature.

@writingtoriches From my experience 1-2 is optimal. 2-4 is possible. Anything over 4 hours and I'm a brain-fried zombie for the rest of the day.

@thejulieahrens Or convincing ourselves we're too busy to read books...

@GrammarHippy Green Lights by @McConaughey is awesome to listen to in it's original accent. Inspiring and fun at the same time

Tranquil sunset feels at Phewa Lake, Pokhara. Drinking spiced milk tea after a day climb of ~1000m and back down. Divine. Farewell for now to Nepal, and back into the embrace of the Southern Alps, Aotearoa.

The summit of Sarangkot, viewed from the rooftop of the hostel in Pokhara. Amazing how far your legs can take you in a few hours. Overlooked by the immense peaks of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhare visible beyond the Sarangkot ridge. Field of dreams.

The summit of Sarangkot, Nepal 🇳🇵 an incredible 6hr hike from the town of Pokhara. Amazing the shake jetlag from the legs and dream of future climbs in the magnificent and mighty Himalayas.

Flying home now to New Zealand / Aotearoa for many more adventures in the New Year

So excited for the Fifa World Cup Final that I had to take a scenic jog to the beach. Argentina v France. Messi v Mbappe. Wow wow wow. I got Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Found a free gym right on the beach. Pullups to improve posture for deeper breaths. Balance upper body with lower. Playing around before a swim

Scenic Jog to Atlit Beach

Chose to take the road less traveled and listen to the lure of the water.

Nature offers the simplest reminders : no need to always rush and strive. Take time to relax and enjoy. Swim.

Cows along the trail. Nice to share a moment together in their natural habitat.

More trails into the hills looking out to the Mediterrean Sea.

Grazing cows, fresh greenery, olive trees.
