1/2
A day scrambling on the wonderful peak of Peñon de la Mata north of Granada. The summit is surrounded by cliffs with only one hiking route to the top. Lots of possibilities for exploration.
I love scrambling, that grey area between hiking and rock climbing. Constant concentration and risk assessment means you aren't thinking at all about the mortgage 😂

The first overnight rains for a few months last night. I love the freshness after autumn rains. Cloudy today but a break in the clouds allowing the sun to shine down on the town of Lanjaron in the Alpujarras.
Have a great weekend all.

Its Facebook Leaving Day! 🎉 🥳
Haven't been that involved for many years but have had to keep a presence for corporate reasons. No longer!
I had been using web browsers to view/post as I refused to install their app on any device. What finally broke my resilience was the fact in the last few days they made the web browser route unusable for me. Deliberately IMO. I guess to force the app on me?
Feels good. Have a great day everyone.

Just an incredible amount of snowfall throughout central Europe. This report from Austria. Unprecedented levels of snowfall for September.

Bit warm to be walking below 2000 meters but the cool breeze and forest foliage helped. Yesterday we did a walk in the Sierra de Huetor, combining the Cañada del Senero with an off piste ascent of Cerro del Corza 1606m.
My first visit to Cerro del Corza. It's a wonderful viewpoint for not only the Sierra Nevada, but also the Majaliar and Peñon de la Mata peaks.
Cold beers back in los Faroles, Lanjaron were most welcome

this area is just a few kilometers east of the highest mountain in the Iberian peninsular, Mulhacen 3482m. Thousands make their way to the summit but maybe only a handful pass by these lakes

The walk into Siete Lagunas a couple of days ago involved passing two small hidden lakes, rarely visited by other humans. Laguna Prado Negro and another further north which doesn't have a name. It should, it's stunning! The wonderful wild side of the Sierra Nevada that few others get to see

Definite autumnal feel to the morning dog walk. Lovely colors, especially when the first rays of the sun hit the hillsides. Cooler with a slight breeze. Maybe end of the early morning/pre sunrise start of summer dog walking?

Exciting news. I'm going back to the Dolomites for a week at the end of September as I feel there is some unfinished business. This time, instead of just trekking, we are aiming to do 6 high level Via Ferrata routes in the Sella/San Martino mountain range in 5 days. Will use two refuges as a base. Really looking forward to it.

The Vuelta de España passing through my town of Lanjarón this afternoon.
178 kilometre mountain stage with 4,370 meters of ascent. It's hot and humid. Respect.

correct, water is so precious. Times of drought actually concentrate our minds and assist in improving the overall irrigation systems. This year we are consequently more efficient than ever and the trees look like they are enjoying it. We should have a bumper harvest of olives and lemons. Have a good day yourself

2024-08-16 08:20:41

Friday is watering day for us here in the campo. Great to see the olive and lemon trees being nourished in the morning sun. Our young avocados and apples need it every couple of days. Rewarding.

Must say, I'm really enjoying putting together short 3 minute videos of my hikes. Adding a new dimension to my day in the hills.
I'm certainly no expert, but In the old days it used to take loads of editing on powerful desktop computers to produce a video. Now it's done on a mobile phone in a few minutes. Just incredible.
Here's one I did yesterday

they are regularly inspected, so I'm told. I did check each one as I passed along too.

Short clip from today's hike. Crossing the Paso de las Guias in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains.

I wrote a blog about our travels through the Italian Dolomites.
It is quite a long and comprehensive read but the hope is it may help give information to others who are thinking of visiting the area.

Sorry been out of touch my fellow federation members. Had a bit of a rough week. Energy crashed after finishing my 12 day trek through the Italian Dolomites. At the same time a minute grass spike that had been lodged in my thumb for a month decided to become infected. Very painful and still unable to use my right hand. To cap it all the journey back home to Spain was long, drawn out and frustrating, thanks Ryanair! Slowly getting my mojo back though.

it was. Preferred the second week. Not ad dramatic but you never knew what was coming next. I like a bit of unpredictability

2024-07-24 13:34:43

1/2 Today we finished our trek through the Italian Dolomites and hiked out to the town of Fiera di Primiero.
First week on the Alta Via 2 and the second making our own way on deserted trails, over narrow passes and alpine pastures.
My watch tells me we have covered 130 kilometres with over 7000 metres of ascent/descent. No wonder the old legs are showing signs of accumulated fatigue.
