A cold but wonderful night in the forest. Walking at night and putting up my tarp in the dark I never quite know what I'll find in the morning. I woke at dawn in mist amongst beech and big pine trees. I made coffee whilst still a-bed to the distant sound of church bells and rifle shots. And walked out into a blue sky and bright sun day. I'm walking across country on tracks mostly, heading west with just a touch of north.
Time to walk on from this inn, full of sunday lunchers fresh from church (or boar and deer shooting).
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.
