Finally got around to writing one of three blogposts about my bikepacking trip in Mongolia last September! Part 1, a loop in the Khövsgöl Province: ouestef.com/bikepacking-mong…

Taking off from or landing in Munich on a clear day is always a treat. Reminds me how close we are to the Alps. The steam rising from the heating and power station didn't even spoil the view...

Vorderunnütz (2078 m). The first winter bivvy of 2018 was probably also the coldest one I have ever done. The morning view was worth all the frozen extremities though!

Last night under the Mongolian stars back in September...

One last photo from my bivvy on top of Schafreuter, this time of the glorious morning light engulfing the misty Karwendel mountains.

Waking up on top of the Schafreuter peak to this wonderful view of the sun rising over the eastern part of the Karwendel mountains.

3AM last Saturday night. If it wasn't for the bright stars in the sky, I might have believe I had woken up in the middle of the day!

Full moon rising over the Ammer Mountains, Bavaria, Germany.

Stargazing on top of Veitsberg (first bivvy of the year).

Pamir Highway, Tajikistan, Summer of 2011. Still one of my favourite places in the world!

If you're useless on skis, take your (fat) bike...

Horseshoe Bend, Arizona

Inside Coyote Gulch, Utah, last spring...

Star trails on top on Zwieselberg, just over a year ago.

View from the top of the Schildenstein, from the Blauberg Range on the left all the way to Lake Achen on the right. And a crisp -15°C!

One from the archives... Gdańsk, Poland, October 2015!

Walchensee, Bavaria

First rays of sunshine heating up a frozen roof after a cold winter night. Tannern, Bavaria, Germany.

Third and final blogpost on my bicycle trip in Ladakh: ouestef.com/a-bicycle-journe…

Admiring Maiden's Tower and the distant Fatih District during our stay with @paddyhwilliams in Istanbul last weekend.
