Las Campanitas Ridge to Veleta
The ridge didn't let our expectations down. It is a magnificent scramble, probably Grade 3 in places. The highlight for me is the spiky pinnacle of Campario which soars like a needle up intto the sky. It is an impressive and intimidating sight.
Yesterday in the heat of the afternoon we made our way uphill to a remote lake, rarely visited, that we had never been to before. Laguna de Peñón Negro.
What to do during a heatwave. Take the dogs for a river walk of course. Super proud of these two, they both remembered how to swim and seemed to really enjoy it
This was an interesting day. Interesting as it crossed some terrain I have never trodden before, threading the Raspones ridge.
After many years of neglect our outer walls and cortijo walls have been repaired, re plastered and repainted.
Blurred images and lost opportunities
In trying to learn camera techniques to take good landscape images you are bound to have some failures. It's a shame as those failures can sometimes happen in superb mountain settings, resulting in lost opportunities.
Wet and Windy in the San Juan Valley

The best photo I have ever taken?
The story behind the circumstances that led me to take the best landscape image I had ever taken.
After a recent period of inactivity, due to having a pacemaker fitted, it was good to get back out on the warm limestone rock of the Peñon de la Mata and feel the exposure.
Walking into a surreal Martian Landcape
We had an eventful, interesting and ultimately fulfilling day on the western slopes of the Cerro de Caballo a couple of days ago. The route is along the Acequia los Hechos and up to the remote and lonely, hidden lake of Laguna Puesta Cura.
A chain across the dirt track halted our walking plan for the day. Instead we had to look for an alternative. As in many cases like this, the alternative turned out to be superb! The peak of Boca de la Pesca, located in the Cumbres Verdes just 15 minutes from Granada.
Catching the sunrise, Sierra de Lujar
At 5:30 this morning I dragged my weary ass out of bed, out into the morning cold and drove up precipitous mountain dirt tracks in the dark
In response to the Electricity Companies doubling their prices we have gone solar. Sod em!
The great thing about living in the foothills of the mountains is that you can take last minute advantage of snow conditions.
Cadiar, Lobras and Tímar Circular
Photos from the trip into the Sierra Mágina over the last couple of days. A lovely, compact and interesting mountain range largely overlooked by foreigners. We saw only 1 other hiker in 2 days of wandering here.
