Good afternoon fellow ferals! Well, I must apologise - blog-wise, it's been an extremely quiet month, but only because we packed up the van and headed to South-East Europe for a couple of weeks. We had some of the most stunning scenery and interesting climbing I have ever experienced - so of course, I'm here [...]
Good afternoon fellow Ferals! This week I had the absolute pleasure of being able to sit down with Sarah before her upcoming trip to Everest Base Camp. I met her when she wandered in to the shop with her Mumma, eagerly searching for a new, warmer coat for her adventure. We chatted, tried on some [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgUgmYAdTiI Unlike every other day before, we’d decided on today’s adventure the previous night. Our walk was due to start in Blaen-y-Nant, close to a layby with space for around 7 cars. Due to its proximity to Snowdon it was prone to filling up with cars quite early on in the day. Not wanting to [...]
Ah, Snowdonia. In typical Welsh fashion our second day in the mountains was totally rained out, so this was actually Day Three for us. We awoke early, to very similar scenes from the day before – low lying grey clouds and totally saturated earth. We’d caved and found ourselves a nice campsite with hot showers [...]
You know the feeling. Sometimes you wake up and it takes you a few seconds to get your bearings and figure out where you are. Well, that morning I didn’t have that. Before I’d even opened my eyes my subconscious mind had already become aware of the sound of the lake next to the van, [...]
I woke up one morning and I noticed the leaves on the Ash tree outside our house had started to turn orange. I rolled over, turned to my human and said "we have to go chase the last of the summer sun in North Wales". So that"s what we did. At the end of October [...]
Following on from my previous blog, here's a short video on Climbing Zugspitze - The Hanwag Alpine Experience. Let me know what you think! H "Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness." —Mary Oliver, "Snowy Night" [...]
Arrival Day The Hanwag Alpine Experience – an event where like-minded, mountain loving people come from all over the world to join together for a few days to gallivant up the Bavarian Alps to the summit of Zugspitze. Standing at 2962m, the Zugspitze is Germany’s highest peak. The Hanwag experience aims to take 48 adventurers [...]
DAY TWELVE Trefin - Pwll Deri Predicted Mileage: 9.5 miles Actual Mileage: 11.4 miles I'm not going to lie guys. I cried about 4 times today. There were so many times that I wanted to chuck my bag down, nap for an hour and eat half a cake. But, not only did we not pass [...]
DAY SEVEN Dale - Marloes Predicted Mileage - 6 miles Actual Mileage - 7.5 miles And the knee is back up and running (kinda... Ibuprofen and a beasty knee strap will save the trip)! Jack and Haze have joined us for a few days of damp, windy walking. It's been fairly easy walking with only [...]
