Through the Magpie Eye: Go Climb a Rock

Here’s another time-sapper for you. Go Climb a Rock is an image-based rabbit hole devoted solely to pictures of women heading out into the natural world. But don’t worry, it’s not one of those wistful blogs full of photos of rich students from Bristol traipsing around the countryside with floaty dresses on, taken on out-of-date film to help convey the fragility of youth or some such nonsense — it’s just old photos of lasses going for a good ol' fashioned ramble.

Research suggests it’s done by the same people (or person) who does that amazing Hippy Kitchen blog we mentioned a few months ago, which begs the question… where are they finding these mint pictures? And more importantly, where did that girl with the glasses get all that Fjällräven stuff?

Five people in dusty outdoor clothes huddled together on a dry, rocky hillside, one in glasses

Someone in glasses sat on a wooden floor amid a spread of Fjällräven kit: rucksacks, jackets, sleeping mats and food

Someone in glasses and an olive Fjällräven jacket with a big blue rucksack, rolled mat and walking stick on a grassy hill

Two people with long hair kneeling on grass by a cream van with a Tramp poster showing a pair of sandal soles

Someone in quilted down trousers with braces holding open a hooded down jacket, in front of a wall map, in black and white

Someone with long dark hair at a woodland camp, a deer standing among the trees behind and a fire pit to one side

Someone in a red cap, sunglasses, pale blue tee and white trousers sat on black volcanic rock holding a camera

Small wooden hut on a rocky hilltop beside a tall pine, someone sat outside it in the sun, in black and white

Someone in a wide-brimmed hat smiling from the window of a dusty car with words scrawled in the dirt on its doors

Someone in a white tee and shorts sat on a rock by a fast river, a waterfall and overhanging trees behind

Someone stood beside a small car built to look like a giant laced boot, with a Vasque Boots number plate

Give Go Climb a Rock a gander
