  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. #Hiking #Walking #Mountains #Spain #Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Outdoors #Andalucia

  Sat in a bar in Granada waiting for some minor repairs on my car. Heat suddenly ratcheted up to 32C over last few days. Summer is just around the corner although from my barstool I can see the snow covered Sierra Nevada. By the way, non alcohol beer has got very tasty these days. Currently drinking Mahou 0,0

  Morning Fediverse! The sun was just hitting the "acequia" channel this morning and provided some very interesting light #dogwalk #Spain #Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

  With all the conflict in the world, big tech takeovers etc, I think I can be forgiven for feeling a bit down at times. My remedy is to take the dogs out for an early morning walk. The fresh mountain air, nature and beautiful scenery is great for uplifting and rejuvenating a downtrodden spirit. Works for me anyway. Every time! #philosophy #mountains #outdoors

  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! 🤣 🤣 #mountains #mountaineering #rockclimbing #spain #everest

  A piece of film history, then and now, 60+ years apart. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" at a place we know as Crocodile rock in the spectacular Tabernas badlands of Almeria, Spain. #movielocations #filmlocations #spain #movies

  The savage beauty of a mountain river in the springtime. Contrast with the summer months when it's simple to cross using stepping stones. #landscape #photography #waterfallWednesday #landscapephotography

  Just one of the many spectacular waterfalls we passed on yesterdays hike up into the upper Lanjarón valley, Sierra Nevada, Spain #WaterfallWednesday #water #landscapephotography #photography #Spain

  Really pleased and proud that my eldest daughter, Emma, has become a qualified cave leader (in addition to her mountain leader). She only started doing outdoor activities in her 40s, despite all my previous efforts. My other daughter Claire was her assistant in the assessment making sure clients were clipped on properly for belays. Well done to her too. Shows if you put your mind to something and enjoy it, anything is possible. Inspiring! #outdoors #caving #hiking #walking #inspirational

  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.

  Thought I had our 3 week #trekking trip to the Central Pyrenees in June all sketched out. Then I came across "Le Chemin de Liberté" (Freedom trail) that escapees and evaders used in WW2 to escape south over the mountains from France into Spain. I read up on some of the fascinating stories involved. Le Chemin de la Liberte is one hardest of many escape routes. This particular route is about 60km with 3500m ascent/descent. Must say, I'm very tempted. #backpacking #spain #hiking

  This morning I rushed half naked out of bed. Must have been a funny sight! Why? For just a few minutes pre dawn we had this amazing lenticular cloud sat above town in the Alpujarra. #Spain #Clouds #Photography #Skies #LandscapePhotography
