Things don't always work out as planned. Nature always wins eh? Today I had packed my high mountain gear ready for a snow day but our dirt road into the high mountains was blocked by a landslide. Instead we headed for the much lower Pinos de Conchar trail in the Lecrin valley south of Granada. Haven't done this before but it was a fine hike with superb views.

Taking a photography group through the "Pueblos Blancos" villages of Capileira, Bubion and Pampaneira yesterday.

So, guess what? Here's some images of white village scenes 😂

Barranquismo (Canyoning) looks fun. This guy certainly seemed to be enjoying it as he descended the waterfall at Tajo Cortes, Rio Bermejo, Alpujarra yesterday.

I've spent a lifetime trying to avoid slippy wet rock but maybe I should give it a try?

This week I'm having to leave my comfortable status of retirement and actually "work". Yes, it's true! I'm guiding a photography group led, by Andrew Scriven, around the Alpujarras, searching out photogenic opportunities.

I am definitely a landscape photographer at heart but here's a few of the "arty-farty" ones I grabbed along the way.

A piece of film history, then and now, 60+ years apart. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" at a place we know as Crocodile rock in the spectacular Tabernas badlands of Almeria, Spain.

The same place some 60+ years apart. A low jutting rock protrudes from an overhanging piece of rock. The the left hand frame are two movie actors. The background is wild, arid, scenery

1/ Tough hike but what a day, still buzzing! Sometimes I don't think we fully appreciate just how much raw, untamed beauty and wildness we have so close to our homes. Saw nobody all day. Gotta go back soon, maybe for an overnight-er.

The savage beauty of a mountain river in the springtime. Contrast with the summer months when it's simple to cross using stepping stones.

Really pleased and proud that my eldest daughter, Emma, has become a qualified cave leader (in addition to her mountain leader). She only started doing outdoor activities in her 40s, despite all my previous efforts.

My other daughter Claire was her assistant in the assessment making sure clients were clipped on properly for belays. Well done to her too.

Shows if you put your mind to something and enjoy it, anything is possible. Inspiring!

Thought I had our 3 week trip to the Central Pyrenees in June all sketched out. Then I came across "Le Chemin de Liberté" (Freedom trail) that escapees and evaders used in WW2 to escape south over the mountains from France into Spain. I read up on some of the fascinating stories involved.

Le Chemin de la Liberte is one hardest of many escape routes. This particular route is about 60km with 3500m ascent/descent. Must say, I'm very tempted.

Our local "acequia" has now been repaired and for the first time in 3 months we have flowing channels and irrigation water.

The hillsides are now full of life again and wonderful places to go for a local hike.

The, not very imposing, immigration office in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, capital city of Kamchatka. Had to go here as I had lost my entry permit to the Russian Republic and without it I probably couldn't have left. Some interesting memories from a wild place!

The stunning waterfall of the Tajo de Cortés, Rio Bermejo above the town of Pitres in the Alpujarras

Water cascades down a narrow rift in the cliffs bouncing off both sides of the rock walls. At the bottom is a quiet pool with boulders. Lots of green trees and scrubs to the right.

Just had my kids over for a few days from the UK. Hahaha I say "kids" but they are both in their 40s! You always see them as your "kids" don't you? Anyway, great to see them both and to chat about what ridiculous things we are each getting up to next 😂

Really enjoyed watching the movie "I Swear". Great acting performances all round but especially from Robert Aramayo as John Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at a young age. This alienated him from his friends and family. A stark and eye opening account of Johns life, his struggles, his wins, and the joy and grief in between.

Now reading the book.

Images from our Tabernas desert hike last Friday. I never fail to be inspired by this landscape and can see why it is used so much by the movie industry, set only some 25km inland from Almeria city.

Sometimes driving in Spain is so relaxing. Today at 9am we headed south from Guadix to Tabernas on the A-92 motorway. 80 kilometres of motorway on an Easter bank holiday. I kept to the speed limit but only passed 2 vans and was overtaken by 2 cars the whole way. I could have fallen asleep if it hadn't been for the marvellous scenery at every turn of the road 😀

Well that was a day and a half. Woke up for an early start and found tyre of our car slashed. Took 3 hours to get fixed. Think we inadvertently got involved in a local parking dispute between the owner of the place we were staying at and a neighbour. Anyway all sorted now. Travel is such fun. You never quite know what is around the corner 🤣

No, its not the Namibian desert. It's the Duna de Bolonia.

"Hundreds of thousands of small, stinging grains of sand travelling at warp factor 4 directly into the face for the next 45 minutes wasn’t what I would call fun. Having said that it was a very cheap, complete and thorough exfoliation of the skin."

You might remember the conversation in the old Monty Python movie "The Life of Brian" that posed the question "What did the Romans ever do for us?".

Well, I have the definitive answer... they built the city of Baelo Claudia. What! ... Like me a few days ago, I'd never heard of it neither. It's a city built by the Romans in SW Spain (1st Century AD) The visit to the remains of the city yesterday honestly blew me away.

Had a superb day at a little known place called Bolonia on the Atlantic coast south of Cadiz. Superb sandy beach, very quiet, apart from the howling wind. Also an incredible natural sand dune (Duna de Bolonia) and a town of Roman ruins dating back to the 1st Century AD (Baelo Claudia). History is so fascinating. Images and report coming in a few days when we have full internet.

I am losing it. Who'd come on a holiday which involved hiking up hills and forget their .... hiking shoes? Especially when I have checklists to remind me to do a checklist, so why oh why do I then forget the one essential bit of kit 🤣? Doh! Must be getting old. Fortunately found a HH shop on the beach which has some suitable footwear. Bad news is cost me 149€. But back in business

We're heading west today for a week. Going to watch the bird migration from Africa to Europe through the Straits of Gibraltar. Then we'll be beach bums on the Atlantic coast for a while. Some culture/history lessons at Trafalgar, Bolonia & Cadiz before returning via some mountain hikes in the Sierra de Alcornocales and Sierra de Grazalema

Entertaining hike yesterday following a circular trail up the peak of Peñabon 2000m, overlooking Trevélez. Beautiful vistas to the Sierra Nevada.

Trevélez is one of the highest villages in Spain and is known for it's air-cured hams, a speciality throughout the Alpujarras but particularly associated with the village, because the dry climate due to its altitude makes for ideal conditions.

We'll, well, well. Cordoba, just round the corner. Who'd have thought. Amazing how they can identify and date a 2200 year old elephant bone.

A bone from one of the elephants that Hannibal left behind in southern Spain before his epic invasion of Italy has turned up near the city of Córdoba.
