As darkness fell last night the rain intensified. There was no safe way to walk the edge of the busy narrow mountain road as cars sped by in poor visibility. I needed shelter. And I found it - this workers wagon up on a hill. Though didn't spend the night in it but under it. The Herzog of 1974 would have forced the lock. But though cramped I was dry whilst rain tumbled down for twelve hours. Walked on this morning and as I dropped down into the valley then sun came out.
Slow adventures in the worlds of horse travel and global horse lore, guitars and harps, long walks with minimal kit, inspiring books and websites, second-hand-cycle trips, pilgrimages, poetry, birds, sailing and sea-kayaking, quotes, simplicity, hats, Ireland, Patagonia, North Africa and further afield, good-bad country songs, maps, fish, hammock camping, hand-crafts and hand-tools, foraging, fires, pencil sketches and dancing. Often posts on subjects that are none of the above.

About Me
- jasper winn
- I'm an independent writer on wilderness activities, slow adventures, traditional horsemanship and odd stuff. I'm the author of Paddle; A long way around Ireland (Sort Of Books), and i was the story consultant on the IMAX documentary on cowboy cultures across the globe, Ride Around The Word. The Slow Adventure sends reports back from the front-line of a slow and simple life; horses, kayaks, guitars, long walks, travel, books, simplicity, trains, travel, wildlife and the occasional thrill.
