Whats new?
|
2008: I have just finally completed the Cambrian Way, a superb route traversing the length of Wales from Cardiff to Conwy, and taking in some of the most spectacular scenery and much of the high ground on the way, through the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Plynlimon, Cader Idris, Rhinogs, Snowdon, Glyders, and the Carnedds. Also, earlier in the year, over May bank holiday, the less energetic but very interesting Hadrians Wall trail, from Wallsend through to Bowness-on-Solway.

2007: In September we did the classic Walkers Haute Route, through the alps from Chamonix to Zermatt, a fantastic route with stunning mountain and glacier views, enhanced by two weeks of near perfect weather. Earlier on in the year, in July, we did the lesser known but superb (and exciting in places) GR54 (Tour of the Oisans). And at the start of June I managed to fit in the oustanding scenery and rugged terrain of the GR20 in Corsica, arguably one of the best (and hardest) walks in Europe.

2006: In September we did the Tour of Mont Blanc, the weather was a bit hit and miss, but still an enjoyable trip. And back in the UK we did the Pembrokeshire Coast path in June. Not quite as challenging as the SWCP, but still plenty of superb coastal scenery and wildlife, we were particularly lucky to time it to coincide with a mini-heatwave, after weeks of rain leading up to it.

Indian Bouldering
April 08: Nothing to do with me but worth a look, by popular demand Pil has pulled his finger out and knocked up some topos for some excellent bouldering areas in India that he has opened up. Firstly, up in the North in Himachal Pradesh is the Spiti lahaul area. Bouldering at altitude, with huge overhanging boulders and top quality crystalline rock, and the Himalayan mountains as a backdrop. Take a look here for all the info. Then if you fancy a break from the crowds, full info for an excellent new sector in Hampi, on the Jungli plateau.
