Into The Mountains is a written and visual record of the weekly walks that my friend Maggi and I do together in and around Snowdonia National Park, where we both live. We don't usually plan where we will go until the morning of the walk. Then we discuss if either of us has a particular desire to walk in a specific area. Sometimes we choose a walk based on our energy levels or factor in the weather and follow the sun (or, more usually, seek out less rain).
We both have a strong connection with the land and with each other. Talking together is a big part of our walks - sharing our thoughts, memories, ideas and feelings.
Just as vital are the silences that we are both comfortable with.Sometimes we stop to photograph, write, sketch and to look - at the detail in a blade of grass or a shard of slate, and of course, always at the bigger picture.
