Wild Places
Posted by Simon Lewin
Caught some bits of Radio 4's 'Traveller's Tree' on Monday (still available on iPlayer).
One of the guests included Robert Macfarlane. I'd been meaning to get a copy of his Wild Places book (now purchased).
They discussed a couple of wilderness destinations that are on our list. One isn't an obvious destination - Essex - but I've become increasingly intrigued/inspired (in part by Caught By The River and Underworld) by this part of the world - especially the Dengie.
We're also keen to make it to Knoydart someday soon - it's part of the mainland but only really accessible by water (or a very long walk in).
The snap shot below is from a beach we visited on Skye a couple of years ago. What was going to be a quick stroll turned into a couple of hours beach combing and rock pooling. In the distance are the Cuillins - where you'll find the Fairy Pools also discussed in Traveller's Tree.
