About Me

I’m Simon Robinson, an Irish photographer based in Dublin having been a geophysicist and a geologist for over four decades.

I’ve always liked long distance walking. So much so that I had planned to walk to Rome from Manchester in 2020 with a friend. Pandemic overtook us and the walk has been postponed to 2021 2022.

This journal was started as practice for journaling the walk. It’s about the thoughts seeded by events in my day, some of which might have been better kept in. It’s not about cats nor demons. I’ll try to keep it going for the year. And make and sell scarves in parallel (see fabhappy.com/simonrobinson).

I used to blog about walking while fundraising during training for charity walking events.
