I’ve been thinking about Patagonia an awful lot recently, and not just because it’s a damp, grey January… There is a little place inside my heart that has Patagonia in it.. I can feel a tug there every time I think about the place. In 2016 I feel as if I must deal with some unfinished riding business in Central Asia .. so I think that’s what I’ll do this year by way of a decent adventure… but once I’ve dealt with that niggle then.. I think it has to be Patagonia. Again. In the meantime I was browsing back over my images and came across a few that I didn’t publish at the time for whatever reason, so I’m putting that right now. I really like them and they sum up well what Patagonia means for me… empty, brooding, magnificent wilderness.

Awesome pictures … or ‘Epic’ as my son would say!
They take me back a few years to a trek I did around Torres del Paine. I totally get the feeling of the draw to remoteness and solitude.
It’ll probably be a few years before I head back that way although my wife is happy for me to take a couple of weeks out of family life this year. Looks like the Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland might be beckoning!
Thanks for the posts!!!
hey Jon, cheers for taking the time. While I was writing that I kept thinking “could just go to Scotland….”but it’s not the same. However Cape Wrath trail sounds fantastic, have been meaning to get up there for a while. Have an awesome time!
We’ll reach Patagonia in 2018 or thereabouts. Fancy to join us then?
ooh… that’s a thought…!
Oh yes I’m itching to get back to Patagonia too. But it’s the Northcoast 500 in a week or so for this year. Look forward to your future tales of magical Patagonia…
cheers for reading and have a great ride!
