A plan hatched and executed!

A somewhat belated post as we are already a month into our trip.   We bought our campervan (a Westfalia Columbus  600D) last August with the idea of eventually taking an extended break from work and undertaking a tour around Europe. Fast forward to this year and after a couple of Read More …

Posted onJuly 14, 2017October 8, 2019Leave a comment

We returned to the Dolomites this year for our annual boys weekend away, heading for the Tre Cima range north-west of Cortina.  Although early in the season and some huts not yet open, we’d booked in to Refugio Lavaredo which sits at the foot of the iconic Tre Cima triple Read More …

Triglav Traverse – Climbing the Highest Peak in Slovenia

Posted onJanuary 28, 2017October 7, 20192 Comments

Early each year we start to think about possible destinations for our annual long weekend jaunt to somewhere in European mountains. After several years trips the challenge is to find somewhere that we haven’t been to, has decent mountains (ideally fairly high with huts) and reasonable regular/cheap flights.  After the Read More …

The annual boys weekend in Europe took a turn with the invite list this year being extended to newcomers including…shock/horror a girl!  Phillipa, one of our climbing buddies, had dared to invade the sanctity of the previously all-male crew. After Switzerland and the Tour de Wildhorn last year it was Read More …

Tour de Wildhorn – 30th June-4th July

Posted onJuly 16, 2011October 7, 2019Leave a comment

The trip started badly when one of the cases never arrived in Geneva – meaning no boots, ice-axe or crampons for two of our group.  Easyjet tip – if they ask if you have any sharp objects do not volunteer you have an ice-axe and crampons in a case that’s Read More …

A Quick Post….at last!

Posted onJune 30, 2011October 7, 20192 Comments

After neglecting my blog for some months now, I currently packing for a 6-day hut-to-hut route around the Wildhorn in the Swiss Alps. The past few months have been busy with work and sorting some personal stuff, so no UK trips save for a couple of climbing weekends down in Read More …

Excitement and Frustration!

Posted onApril 3, 2011October 7, 2019Leave a comment

Excited! because the flight to Sardinia is booked for 20th April, for a week rock climbing and camping in the mountains…and in the sun! That’s not me! Frustration! because I’ve been told the only gear I need to take is a harness and shoes, when everyone knows a trip is Read More …

Alpine Summits and Skills 4000m

Posted onSeptember 12, 2010October 7, 20197 Comments

I’d originally planned to join Icicle Mountaineering’s Alpine Autonomy course but the weeks didn’t quite work out so I was booked on the Intro 4000m Summits & Skills course, excited about my first taste of alpine walking/climbing.  My slight concern with the intro course was that it assumed no previous Read More …
