@TimKStanton @khusky don't quite know how the new Durston Mid-X 2 did it really. Full on storm conditions (thunder, lightning, hail, gale force winds) all night and we were relying on a new tent held...

@ak I've found the Samaya great for expeditions and winter, bad weather protection etc. Very solid. The Durston Poles seems quite an expensive option when we all carry our own anyway?

@JakeHikes we found that in Patagonia. Lightweight is great until you are tentbound during a blizzard. Some good but expensive lightweight dome tents around these days. Originally we used Terra Nova Q...

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...

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! 🤞

So proud of my two daughters. I just couldn't ever get them interested in climbing hills & mountains. Now, both in their 40's, they are qualified mountain leaders, do SAR stuff and go out at night int...

@jds we were luckily invited onto a 2013 Berghaus sponsored expedition to climb and ski down Klyuchevskaya Sopka 4754m, a stratovolcano and the highest active volcano of Eurasia. We didn't make it due...

As a young inner city kid, in 1971 I was introduced to the hills. We spent some days camping & climbing the mountains surrounding the Newlands Valley in England's Lake District. Last week I returned t...

The forecast was poor with low cloud, mountain mists, cold winds & rain arriving later. We planned an easily escapable, short 3hr hike up Peñon del Jorobado, Sierra de Huetor. The day was predictably...

@[email protected] @khusky as we arrived exhausted onto the Icecap in that blizzard our snow walls were somewhat poor and quickly depleted. So difficult building walls and erecting tents in those...

Bit sad this morning as we have decided to cancel next weeks Via Ferrata trip to the Italian Dolomites. So many reports from people about the bad weather and early season snow. Freezing my butt off an...

Cracking light show last night. We even had some drops of rain! Lanjaron, Andalucia

@theappletree correct, water is so precious. Times of drought actually concentrate our minds and assist in improving the overall irrigation systems. This year we are consequently more efficient than e...
