@alan For hiking I seem to have standardised on OsmAnd and Organic Maps. They work offline when in the mountains and don't use much battery or resources. Both serve my purposes really well.

One of the scenes that remains very close to my heart. The road leading to town of El Chalten and the Fitzroy (Chalten) and Cerro Torre mountain chain, Patagonia. I have had some wonderful times here...

@[email protected] good article, thanks for sharing. I guess my own mind started thinking I was old when I reached 60, illustrated by my tired legs and longer recovery times when walking up a...

Spain has such a wealth of mountain ranges. Last few days we came across an absolute gem! Here, on the complicated summit ridge of Maimón 1761m in the Sierra de Maria, Almeria

@alan I would love to use the trains but as everywhere I go is for hiking purposes, as you point out, its unfortunately just not practical

We called off today's proposed scrambling day due to damp limestone rock. Instead the "Nomads" had a nice hike in the solitude of the forests of the Sierra Arana, north of Granada.

Had to smile at these two gates I passed during a hike a few days ago, especially the first one. At least the second gate covers the width of the path 😀
