Welcome to All The Gear, No Idea—my little corner of cyberspace.

This site started as a personal reminder of what I’ve been up to over the past decade, but along the way, it’s become a record of hikes and scrambles across the UK and Australia. I’m on a mission to climb all the English and Welsh Nuttalls—the hills over 609 m (2,000 ft, for those sticking to old money).

I finished the Wainwrights back in 2016, so you’ll find every fell I walked listed here, along with many of my hikes hosted on the excellent Mud and Routes.

Currently living in Australia, you’ll notice a bit of Aussie bias creeping in over the next few years—but that’s all part of the adventure.

Thanks for stopping by—grab your boots and explore!
