Day 2 of our backpacking trip was defined by poor visibility and drizzle. Cold, damp night in a makeshift forest bivouac. Ice on the tent next morning. So much snow! Cross border trekking routes closed unless mountaineering gear taken.

A short video from day 1 of our recent 4 day backpacking trip into the mountains of the Central Pyrenees
Early morning view from our campsite alongside a small lake in the Respomuso area of the Central Pyrenees. The mountains shown form the border with France. #SilentSunday

The end of another fantastic week guiding through the stunning Alpujarra and Sierra Nevada. This time, with a wonderful group on a yoga & walking retreat.
The temps turned up toward the end, but luckily there was plenty of cool water to refresh tired feet
Proud doesn’t even cover it!
Yesterday, we had the incredible honor of helping 10-year-old Frankie summit Mulhacén (3,482m) in the Sierra Nevada.
Frankie is on a mission to climb all of Europe’s highest mountains — all in aid of Cardiac Risk in the Young. What an inspiration!
Follow his amazing journey over on his Instagram page — you won’t want to miss a single summit. 👏
Things don't always work out as planned. Nature always wins eh? Today I had packed my high mountain gear ready for a snow day but our dirt road into the high mountains was blocked by a landslide. Instead we headed for the much lower Pinos de Conchar trail in the Lecrin valley south of Granada. Haven't done this before but it was a fine hike with superb views.

Congratulations to British mountaineer, Kenton Cool who has quietly and without fuss just made his 20th ascent of Everest. More Everest summits than any non-Sherpa ever.
I remember us rock climbing with Kenton here in southern Spain some years back. Nice guy. Glad we didn't drop him! 🤣 🤣
Sorry I'm a bit late for #WaterfallWednesday as I didn't get back yesterday until late. Here are the spectacular Tajo de Cortes of the Rio Bermejo, Alpujarras
Taking a photography group through the "Pueblos Blancos" villages of Capileira, Bubion and Pampaneira yesterday.
So, guess what? Here's some images of white village scenes 😂
Beautiful sunset tonight. Lanjarón, Alpujarras
2/ And what a place to sit and eat ones lunch!
Upper Lanjaron Valley, Sierra Nevada, #Spain
1/ Tough hike but what a day, still buzzing! Sometimes I don't think we fully appreciate just how much raw, untamed beauty and wildness we have so close to our homes. Saw nobody all day. Gotta go back soon, maybe for an overnight-er.
Upper Lanjaron Valley, Sierra Nevada, #Spain

A few highlights from this week’s winter skills course in the Sierra Nevada. Plenty of snow still on the ground and likely to remain until June.

Great trails, great company. Thanks for coming along and for the laughs! Until next time

Our latest group has just finished their week of Tai Chi with short walks in nature — surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Alpujarra and the Sierra Nevada, Andalucía.
Slow movements. Fresh mountain air. Quiet moments among ancient paths and olive groves.
A beautiful way to reconnect — with nature, with breath, with self.

Our local "acequia" has now been repaired and for the first time in 3 months we have flowing channels and irrigation water.
The hillsides are now full of life again and wonderful places to go for a local hike.
13 years ago to the day ... caught in a blizzard in deepest, darkest Kamchatka. Fortunately the relative safety of base camp wasn't far away

Out hiking today with a Solos group from the UK who were enjoying the warm sun and stunning scenery of the Taha del Pitres. Hiked from Fondales to Ferrierola and onwards to Busquistar, and Portugos. A cold beer at Pitres to finish.
