Solo hiking in the Bulgarian mountains in winter-Musala Peak

[Mountainlove]

Excellent stuff Mountainlove, really enjoyed your video and wonderful photographs. Having never climbed outside Scotland myself that was a bit of an eye opener. It must have been something real special being up there more or less on your own, and to get a cuppa on the top along with all the buildings in amongst the snow cornices, something else

Many thanks. It was special, but also a bit scary when you expect a lot of people and see none for the first half of the day...made me think...do they know something I don't?
But hiking outside Scotland is special and I can only recommend it

An absolute belter ML, when you stepped off the path and into waist deep snow it made me chuckle.....that's every bloody hike around here I really enjoyed this and you deserved all of those congratulations from passers by, its a fair old drag up a 'big un' in the snow path or no path. Love those wonderful winter scenes in the photos and glad you got your reward with clear views from the summit

I've been in the flat lands of Linclonshire for 10 days but brought bronchitis back to Calgary with me so currently the stairs in my house feel like a mountain
