Yesterday we used the spectacular trail leading down into the Coral del Veleta and access to Veleta (3394m) north face. An awesome place!

After debating with myself for 30 mins about whether to venture out into the cold to answer the call of nature I eventually left my tent. The sky was amazing. I guess then was not the time to start le...

Images from the last 2 days trip to visit "Lake with No Name" at 2900m altitude! A magical, serene place where nature ruled. Humans don't often visit here, if ever. My head is filled with images and e...

We arrived at the "lake with no name" yesterday afternoon. At the exit of the lake a delightful stream fell out of the hidden valley. I don't normally take a tripod, yesterday I did. Meant I could slo...

Mixed weather over the Sierra Nevada meant we opted for a quiet mid week hike to an old favourite, Pico Lopera in the Sierra de Almijara. A relatively easy circular walk to a superb viewpoint in all d...

Good morning all! A clear day here and you can see the sea from 30 km away. Too hazy to see Morocco, will have to wait for the colder air of autumn.

Morning all. An early morning dog walk for me because today, for one day only, I am heading out of my comfort zone into the big city (Granada). This a photo of my town, Lanjarón.

Early start on a new hill today. Alto Calabozo 1651m. Small in stature but bags of character. No trails, just a few cairns, goat tracks and bushwhacking to negotiate. It's obvious not many come here....

Possible bad weather up high yesterday so we kept it to a low, short hike. The Ruta Peñuela Forestal in Lanjarón. Who knew such a treasure existed and so close to home. Early lunch in the bar though 😂
