Just returned from an amazing week in the including a 3 day backpacking trip. After getting our asses kicked by storms on the first night we crossed over the Haute Pyrenees from Spain to France via 25...

I've arrived in the Pyrenees. As you can see there are some stunning sights. Heading up into the mountains tomorrow With @khusky

Still plenty of snow around still in Spain's Sierra Nevada. May need micro spikes or crampons to cross snow slopes pre-midday but after that it becomes soft very quickly. This is @khusky traversing so...

The magical world of the snow tunnel Lavaderos de la Reina, Sierra Nevada, España 27th May

Waterfalls tumbling out of Lavaderos de la Reina valley in Spain's Sierra Nevada yesterday

Yes, I know it's not but I can't wait that long to post these 😂 . Stunning scenery in the Taha del Pitres today

There’s nothing quite like dawn in the alpine cold, crisp air, the last stars fading, and the sun igniting the summits in gold. These close-ups capture the raw beauty of the peaks at daybreak. Morning...

Been out in the wilds for a few days. The soul is restored. The classic "Vereda de Estrella", Sierra Nevada. No words needed

Bad weather up high today so we went exploring instead and just 20 mins drive from home, we found this amazing valley. A "Shangri-La" sort of place ... peaceful, quiet and colorful. Never been here be...

A very spring like day today in the Alpujarra with sunshine and showers expected throughout the day. This is Lanjarón.

One of the small waterfalls at Cascada de Prado Negro, Sierra de Huetor yesterday. Stunning!

Breathtaking hike through the Sierra de Huétor today 🌄☀️ Took a scenic loop via Fuente Los Potros, Las Mimbres, and Fuente Manuel Molinillo. Glorious sunshine and uninterrupted views of the Sierra Nev...

The ridge leading to the peak of La Concha 1215m in Spain's Sierra Blanca mountains. The cloud kept drifting in and out but this made for some superb atmospheric conditions.

Some images from yesterdays hike in the badlands of Tabernas, Almeria. A cold day but this made the skies crystal clear of either the heat haze or the Saharan dust that normally plague this area

Mulhacén 3482m this morning from the western side of the Barranco del Poqueira. Looking up the valley towards the Refugio Poqueira, the town on the right is Capileira.

The stormy weather here in Andalucia continues. And isn't it just magnificent!

The clearest day for some time allowed for a glimpse of the Cerro de Caballo 3009m today. Lots of fresh snow, high avalanche risk and gale force winds mean the mountains remain out of bounds. More bad...

The trail to the mountain! Walking yesterday along the GR7 long distance path from Juviles to the town of Trevélez in the Sierra Nevada. Although the summits are out of view the mountain ahead is that...

A superb view of the main Sierra Nevada mountain range from the Sierra de Huetor to the north.

Quick trip back to UK saw me in the lovely Kentmere Valley on a bitterly cold and blustery day with extensive hill mists. Instead of the intended Kentmere Horseshoe we wisely opted for the lowly Yoke...
