@[email protected] In summer mountain conditions, I try to keep multi day base weight below 5kg. That is possible here in Spain's Sierra Nevada. As you say, I suspect rather more difficult for yo...

Out with the gang in the snow today. Bit breezy and not a lot of sunshine but a great day out nevertheless

@recollir yes, that's a famous race round here. Fantastic effort from your wife! I try to keep clear of Veleta and the ski area but do admit that access to the Hoya de la Mora in winter really helps....

After 2 winters with either health problems, poor snow conditions or just plain bad luck, it was nice to get back into the high Sierra Nevada again. I forgot just how much I love this environment and...

A couple of telephoto shots of the northern side of Spain's Sierra Nevada yesterday. Still, not much snow but this is steep, dramatic, alpine terrain with 27 peaks over 3000 metres. Photos show the pe...

Today we've been enjoying stunning views of the northern side of the Spanish Sierra Nevada above Güéjar Sierra. All the main 3000m+ peaks of the ridge clearly seen today, very little haze. The image s...
