My head is filled with images and experiences from this trip, the stars overhead, the tumbling waters, the stillness, the Ibex and even the mid-morning break to make a cup of tea! Here are just a few thoughts from a mind blowing overnight camp. It had started out as a trip to visit the accessible […]
I'm normally quite good at estimating walking difficulty. Years of practice, with a good knowledge and experience of local maps and terrain. And of course we always have the wonderful "internet" to fall back on too for advice and information. Yesterday's walk I originally classed in my own mind as "Moderate" but the 760 metres […]
Good day on the eastern Sierra Nevada hills today, climbing Chullo 2612m from the Puerto de la Ragua. We traversed the summit from north to south and came back along the Trans Sierra Nevada bike track. Thanks everyone for coming along and making this such a memorable day. Thieves operating at Puerta de la Ragua […]
Today we did the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon heat back up to the town. The cold beers were most welcome!
A short walk around Niguelas taking in the Falla Natural Momument and the aerial walkway of the Sendero de Pavilla
Fuentes de Conchar. A beautiful, varied and constantly changing walk close to home and enjoyed by all.
A tough, mainly pathless ascent yesterday over Cuna (2292m) to the old cave/refuge at Piedra de los Pajaros (2550m). Then just for a change, we descended rough, pathless mountainside via the forest at Prado Abarca and then back along the dirt track to the cars at Mirador de Cañar. A tough day and the legs […]
It's always difficult dragging one's weary ass out of bed earlier than normal. A long, but stunning, drive of one and three quarter hours via Cadiar, Cherin and Laroles and we arrived at the start point, the 2000 metre pass of the Puerta de la Ragua. It was a beautiful, blue sky day. Half an […]
Linear walk starting at the Beznar Dam and going down the Rio Izbor to Izbor before returning uphill to Pinos de Valle
A superb summit which we attained from the village of Prado Negro and up the relatively easy angled dirt track to the Collado de Agua. From there steeply up to scramble up the loose scree and then turn right to the summit. Return made to the col on the east and then back down to […]
