Been filling up an old gas cannister with gas from half empty ones and making sure weight compares well with a newly bought full one. The FlipFuel really does an excellent job at recycling gas and it...

Images from yesterday's ascent of La Concha 1215m. We got lucky with the weather in that we had no precipitation and superb views. Not an easy hike. Involves 13km & 800m of ascent & descent from Refug...

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.

Deserts one day, high mountain snowshoeing the next. Today we have been above Capileira on our snowshoes. The snowshoeing is incredible at the moment, even though we had threatening storm clouds aroun...

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

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...

I do use online/offline mapping systems all the time on my GPS, phone and other tech related gadgets. But, I have to say, there is nothing quite like getting a paper map arriving in the post. I'm like...

@winissen I don't, sorry. I keep my tech gear in dry bags when I'm hiking. I do have accidents though like when I dropped my DJI Pocket 2 into a stream. Never worked again 😃

@TimKStanton I think so, I have plenty of attachment points. I can lay it out flat at rest stops/lunch breaks etc. Idea would be to charge any gadgets at night from the power bank. Power bank gets cha...
