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...

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.

Spring has arrived so it's time to fire up the sun oven 🌞. Today we are slow cooking a traditional meal here in the Alpujarras ... "papas al pobre" a tasty mix of potatoes and green peppers

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

A close call. We've had a lot of rainfall this past week. Whilst in a local restaurant this lunchtime a tree fell down over my old car and hit the cars opposite. No damage very luckily! 🤞

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...

Health and safety. I sometimes cringe when my Spanish neighbor and good friend comes round to help as he has no comprehension of danger. He thinks nothing of standing on a thin olive branch atop a dod...

Quick trip back to UK saw me in the lovely Kentmere Valley on a bitterly cold and blustery day with extensive hill mists. Instead of the intended Kentmere Horseshoe we wisely opted for the lowly Yoke...

The clouds had come in as we headed back down to the cars from Morrón Hornillo. Suddenly the mists cleared and a strange horizontal window opened up below the vast expanse of grey skies

A 90 minute early morning drive saw us sipping coffee in a small cafe bar in Fondón. The mountains we had come to climb were clagged in, the approach difficult under fresh snow. An impromptu vote had...
