Our little bivouac spot on top of the mountain and under the stars. Not exactly salubrious but you wouldn't get me changing this for a night at the Hilton Tozal del Cartujo (3152m), Sierra Nevada, Spa...

I love getting up in the mountains before the sun rises. Yes, it's usually cold but the scenes as the light changes make it more than worthwhile. Here's a few from the other morning as the sun hits th...

@jds much better than you'd expect. Two nights ago my wife took a better photo of the Starlink satellites than I could with my mirrorless full frame camera!

The Vasar de Mulhacen is my favourite mountain track in the Sierra Nevada. It crosses the spectacular north face of Mulhacen at half height. Seemingly sensationally exposed but the reality is that it...

The summit of Mulhacén 3482m yesterday evening from our bivouac on the Collado de Siete Lagunas 3230m to the north. Milky Way showing in all it's glory. Cold temperatures too with strong wind blowing.

Lots going on in the night skies at the moment, but didn't manage to get any of the Perseids meteors yesterday evening, just the occasional satellite.

@chriswright yes, GAS, the bane of my mountain life. And not only in terms of photography equipment.

There was a beautiful setting moon this morning so whilst my wife was out walking the dogs I borrowed her "good" camera and got this photo.

A tough day yesterday on mainly pathless, steep terrain, but into a wonderfully quiet area full of natural beauty. I'm knackered! Loma Pua 3226m - Pico Sabinar 2961m - Rio Veleta - Lagunillos del Pulp...

New head torch ... Nitecore NU21. At 43 grams and only €35 it seems like good value on the face of it. Testing it on an overnight soon.

Looking forward to this tonight. A home grown tomato and basil salad with locally sourced garlic and drizzled with a friends olive oil. The simple things in life are the best

Arriving at the ski lifts yesterday we found that the bottom gondola lift was broken and wasn't running. Never mind, one plan closes, gets put on back burner and another one opens. Instead, we dropped...
