Walking up High

by davidstorm

This is the one described by Larry (Bobbinalorry) as the 'Mountain Goat', aka Shaun Wilson, aka Puma.

Shaun describes himself as the 'Mountain Donkey' and he takes me with him sometimes up the steep mountain paths that seem to be his natural habitat. I love it up there too, but Shaun's a bit better at the climbing lark than I am.

He seems a bit camera shy
Is he crying 'cos I said he is a goat?
Best Regards, Larry.

All the gear & no idea.

This trip is sounding less Lake District, more Brokeback Mountain....

Steady on Will, we don't want anyone spreading unfounded rumours! We are both happily married, not to each other I might add

Nice capture, great lights and colours. This is the best-known side of Shaun. Seeing his other side we couldn't recognize him...

I love those clouds and the light. Not surprising Shaun is walking so fast, it looks like rain!

Best wishes
