Hi great description and pics. I was looking at the Exodus walking trip to Madeira but it gets poor reviews mainly because of substandard accommodation and they rely too much on public transport which is very limiting if the day doesn't go to plan. How did you get around the island and to the trailh...

Chris I have a suspicion that scobb999 report started the climb at the correct point https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=68116 Cairngorm creeper also tackled this route https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=72947 Both reports look exposed but I susp...

Driving up the Wasdale road and arriving at the car park it seemed as if half the outdoor world had descended on Wasdale Head. But who could blame them on such a beautiful August day after lockdown. I had previously hiked the Mosedale Round and baled off at Black Sail pass so today Glenys and I star...

Hi. The public transport in this area is good but mainly centred on Granada. There is not really a central bus station but various termini from where the buses operate. I think there are services beyond Guejar Sierra and Trevelez to the ski resorts.

This is an account of the trekking part of a week's holiday based in Monachil, a small hill town, 8km east of Granada. The nearest suitable airport is at Malaga 145km to the SW on good roads. Monachil lies in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada and allows easy access to a variety of trekking ...

This is a pictorial description of a trekking tour of parts of Utah based in Salt Lake City and Moab from 5 - 18 June 2019.

Drove in via Nether Wasdale past the attractive looking Strand Inn and and parked up at Overbeck Bridge. Headed up the obvious track which was steep going up Yewbarrow. Height gained quickly with extensive views over Wast Water. Bell Rib and the Great Door loomed above appearing to assert their pres...

Hi HalfManHalfTitanium. I completely agree with your sentiments about enjoying the hills for what they are and resisting the temptation to rank them but given the large variation in mountain form and disposition, the latter is just human nature. My mountaineering achievements are not comparable to y...

This was a mixed activity trip from 16 - 28 December involving trekking and spending Christmas with the family in Costa Adeje/Las Americas. We were based in Los Menores above the TF-1 away from the trash and tackiness of the coastal resorts which allowed easier access to the caldera and the mountain...

Week 1 - The Drakensberg Flew into Johannesburg and then drove over 400km latterly through a dramatic thunderstorm to the Cathedral Peak Hotel, Kwazulu Natal.

I was the only non golfer in a group of family and friends based at the La Manga Golf Resort 15km or so east of Cartagena on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. $matches[2] It was my first visit to this specific area and since I had limited access to the car I decided just to walk the local area. There...
