Anyone who wondered what he was up to these days (I guess those of you in the UK may know) - he's making his
mark in the snow. Which brings to mind a few anecdotes of his career as a mapper and orienteer.
HAHAHA in shorts and t-shirt as well, probably saves the boiler suits until the temp hits -20C. Great job Simon
Man that is awesome. I was always a fan of Simon's anecdotes and stories -- never was afraid to call it as it is.
Woow. Way better than my screen saver. Glad Simon has copyrighted the photos, could be worth a few bob in the right hands.
An article about this on cnn today. Then found another version in the
DailyMail Online 6 months after the one posted at the top here. I wonder if they're by the same author :) 'tis the season I guess. Very cool designs.
LOL - the comments are quite funny too.....
Our favorite British mapper and orienteer Simon Beck is featured in a short piece on the
Weather Channel this week, with another collection of snow patterns even more amazing than last year's.
My sister-in-law saw that piece and mentioned it, not realizing he's an orienteer, and I was able to reply, "Yeah, I've met that guy".
In a german outdoor magazine was a foto story on his snow patterns:

Amazing. Beautiful designs, Simon!
I see regular articles about him, and they always mention orienteering. If you're on Facebook, like his page:

That must be weird having your footprints all over someone's crotch.
