Sometimes it's hard to believe that I live just over 200km from Africa! After some much needed snow here is the Cerro de Caballo (3009m), Tajos Altos & Lanjarón Valley

Photo from a few years ago ... Some of the most difficult ski touring I've ever done, whilst attempting the peak of Klyuchevskaya Sopka in Kamchatka. Here, trying to negotiate the rocky and volcanic dust laden glacier. Almost like a scene from a SciFi movie.

I just love the smell of moody olive groves in the morning! Especially those cold and fresh winter mornings when the sun is low in the sky and the shadows are long

My daughters sent me this from this morning. They at travelling the Golden Circle around Reykjavik. Looks incredibly beautiful, but extremely cold

As a lover of all related things, I find it an exciting glimpse into the future.

But is it going to be an ultimately good or bad thing? Plenty of food for thought as I continue to play around.

Looking down on the town of Lanjarón this morning, with the Venta El Buñuelo and main road below. Have a great weekend all my fellow Mastodoners

Impromptu flamenco in a local bar tonight. One of the reasons I love rural Spain

Me and Cerro Torre! The closest I ever came to this magnificent mountain, a sight that will live long in the memory. Of course, to get up there I'd need helicopter assist 😂
