My quest was complete!

Wednesday, 4 Mar 2009 | Views [694]

Up at 5.30 in order to get to the Mirador (viewpoint) for the sunrise. It was certainly a shock to the system getting up so early in the freezing cold, and it was another thing climbing up over the rocks in the pitch black. But the view was most ... Read more >

Tuesday, 3 Mar 2009 | Views [513]

A long long day. I probably hiked over 20km with a full laden backpack. Again the scenery was amazing. From clambering over rocks and boulders, crossing alpine streams, along shores of lakes, heathland with wild horses to hiking the most challenging ... Read more >
