Alex Roddie

Regular contributor Alex is very much looking forward to lockdown restrictions easing, and is tentatively making plans for trips to the Scottish Highlands later in the year. Conscious of skill and fitness fade after a long winter away from the mountains, he’ll be easing himself back in at first – although more ambitious projects are on the horizon. Locally, Alex has been testing gear for TGO and enjoying the start of the 2021 wildlife photography season. See his review of a trio of ready-to-go backpacking meals on p82.
