Argentina 9 – Chasing Mount Fitzroy

5th Dec 20255th Dec 2025 by travellingbee45, posted in Travelling

Mount Fitzroy sits between Chile and Argentina at 3,375 meters high. It is dominant in the landscape, except we couldn't see it because it was cloudy. In fact it wasn't just cloudy on one particular day we had sun, rain and snow! Chalten is an indigenous name meaning smoking mountain because there is cloud on … Continue reading Argentina 9 – Chasing Mount Fitzroy

Ben Nevis

Yesterday I walked up Ben Nevis and ticked another goal off my ever lengthening list! I've been practicing as much as I can living in an area without Mountains. Also when I first planned to do this, my knee was painful and decidedly dodgy. I will give my physio a plug here because I've managed … Continue reading Ben Nevis

Using the suspect walking book again, we tried a short easy walk ( for grannies and push chairs) on the other side of the mountain range.

Up at 5.30 am to catch the sunrise over a rather misty valley, breakfast and then we sorted our bags and evened out the weight a bit between us. I knew it would be a long hike today as we had about 20k to travel and it would be undulating. Unfortunately undulating also means up! … Continue reading Nepal 16, Easy Hike day 2

I did actually sleep and probably more than I thought. The only thing to molested me was a molusc judging by the snail trail on my sleeping bag, Im just glad it didn't get on my face! I wasnt cold, I was probably too warm and could have taken lighter sleeping bag or removed my … Continue reading Coast 10 – I survived my first Wild Camp!
