This week we're dragging up snowy reminiscences, crossing gnarly-looking rivers, and seeking the very best of wild camping - both locations and cuisine.

First up, this wild camping spot played home to Craig Wakefield on a rather misty-looking trip to the Brecon Beacons - March 07...

Meanwhile, Paul Burke didn't need a tent to find plenty of atmosphere. When the hills look almost as yellow as Craig's tent, you know you must be doing something right. More in the Wild Country album.

Dave Mycroft's been out demonstrating how to cross rivers when rolling your trouser legs up and getting cold toes won't quite do the job. As you'd expect of the OM routes editor, he spends a fair bit of time out there, so his album could keep you entertained for a while.

James Blair gives the best commmentary on his own photo - and on the ironies of mountain walking in general - "attempt one on Sgiath Chuilm aborted because of dense fog and zero visibility on the heavily snowed up ridge. On the way down, out came the sun and back up we went (1000ft) and topped out in superb visibility!! What a difference an hour made." See lots more whiteness in the James Pics album.

This glorious shot of Borrowdale in the sunshine joins curious Corsican cows, and some scary rock faces, in Jon's album.

Alan Bellis brings us this juicy cornice in a rather snowy Alan's Mountain Travels album.

Meanwhile, Jamie Bassnett's been concentrating on his stomach with a tasty pack of noodles, some sun-dried peppers, and a spot of Pepperoni. There's been plenty of discussion about hikers' meals in the forum lately, so add your choices of breakfast and lunch to the debate, or take a peep at Jamie's Wild Camping album for some more enticing camping spots.

And if you're making dinner, you'll be needing some water, even if there's none in liquid form to hand. Here's how Simon Parkes got round the problem - and put together an arty pic into the bargain. More in his Beinn Dearg and An Teallach album.
