2020 in a nutshell

So that was 2020. What a shit year! Brexit and a rampant virus wreaking havoc across the world (same thing, really). Least said about it the better.

On the plus side, I took some more photos. So here’s my tenth annual video slideshow review of the year:

Consistent as ever, as in the previous nine years, this year’s slideshow contains 97 photos.

Once again, I composed the ambient pap backing track. It is called Igneous Rock:

OUT!

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. My 32-year streak of Christmas Eve ascents of the mighty Moel Famau in North Wales came to an end today. The pandemic was to blame, obviously.

I find myself surprisingly unbothered by the end of the streak. There are far more important things to be bothered about at the moment. But I do hope to start a new streak as soon as possible. If I can make the next streak last 32 years, I’ll be at least 89 by the time I break my personal record.

It’s worth a shot!
