Experience of a Lifetime

Mount Toubkal in Winter

Living the dream. Successfully summited Toubkal last week. Highest peak in North Africa. Thanks to @KEAdventure for pulling this together and helping our group of 10 realise our ambitions. Highly recommended and worth all the effort. In memory of my Dad who passed away in January.

Top tips for Classic Paine Circuit

Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit

The Classic Paine Circuit holiday was outstanding.  We were very lucky for 3 reasons, the guide Diego and support Jonas were excellent, the group worked extremely well and we all walked at a similar pace and the weather was kind to us.  I thought a few tips specific to this trip might be welcomed by anyone taking this trip in the future.  Baggage needed some extra planning as the domestic flight was only 15kg vs 23kg on the international and packing for the camping ele ment of the trek was challenging as the baggage space was minimal.  But I assure you it was all fine.  These top tips assume you are familiar with KE’s pack list for the trip.   Walking gear - re-waterproof your jacket, trousers and rucksack cover and make sure your gear (including water gloves and boots) are waterproof.  The weather is varied often very windy, can be wet, sunny and friends had snow in the past. Make sure your rucksack cover is anchored to your bag. Gaiters were useful because it was muddy coming down from John Gardiner pass.  Make sure your cap or hat can be strapped down in case it’s windy. Walking Poles - useful for the river crossings and muddy downhills. One member of our party tripped on a rock and with her hands in the pole straps she couldn’t use her arms to break the fall and fell on her face which was pretty serious.  So make sure you never walk with your hands in the straps. Food & Drink – excellent throughout.  No need to bring snacks.  Only need to bring 1 ltr bottle coz they give you one anyway and you can fill up regularly in the streams (guide will highlight any stream not suitable). Bars available in most refuges… beers and wines were about £8.50. At eco camp wine is included with the dinner and a pre-dinner drink and canapes provided during the briefings.  Cash & Credit cards– you will need Argentinian and Chilean pesos for local expenses.  Most of us had US Dollars which we used for tips but they would have welcomed Chilean pesos.  The ATMs were temperamental so would suggest taking a couple of cards and trying the various ATMs if one doesn’t work. Baggage on the trek – as you will have read two bags are given to you at the Eco camp.  Bag 1 for the first 3 nights camping then on night 3 you get given bag 2.  These are pretty small (see photo below).  I chose to take my size 10 trainers for the evening, which took up 70% of the space.   In hindsight my boots stayed dry (despite several water crossings) and with all the campsites except offering showers and dining I could have managed with flip flops. One pair of spare bottoms for the evening is fine.  I left a clean outfit in El Calafate in the hotel and some clean clothes in the Eco lodge. Showers – I had a shower 4 nights out of 5 whilst camping.  Not always mega clean and had to queue but worth it.  Take some wet wipes for any nights you can’t get into the shower. Eco-camp tour at end – take it if you are offered.  Can be done in 20mins and very interesting.

Amazing - a holiday of a lifetime

Walking New Zealand - North to South Island Explorer

The holiday was excellent from start to finish, the guides Chris Cameron and Merisha Moora worked endlessly to ensure we had the best holiday possible, they went out of their way to help whenever anyone had a medical issue to address. The itinery was excellent and we packed a lot into each day. The Guides had to alter the itinerary due to a couple of bad weather days when a cyclone passed through the island, we still made the best of those days with alternative activities/walks. Difficult to pic k out a specific highlight, but from a walking point of view the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was outstanding, especially when our trek up to Mount Roy and the trek to the Mueller hut from Lake Pukaki had to be cancelled due to the weather conditions. The section of the Able Tasman track and the catamaran sailing cruise from Torrent Bay was excellent, lovely views and excellent sailing conditions. Also the Milford Sound cruise was outstanding. Always use factor 50 sun lotion, one of our group didn't on the catamaran cruise and suffered blisters on his feet which put him out of action for several days. Also use a sun lotion with insect repellent or DEET as the sandflies can be quite troublesome. Finally all the accommodation was excellent; (on the Nidia Track at the 'On The Trail Lodge' we slept in a renovated railway carriage complete with ensuite). One of the reasons we chose this particular holiday to NZ over the competition was the fact that ALL MEALS WERE INCLUDED.

A great winter escape - wild remote daily walks from a comfortable villa base

Hidden Trails of Fuerteventura

A great taste of the different areas Fuerteventura has to offer - from rocky headland to wild sand dunes and spectacular calderas. Small group and flexible travelling open up possibilities for walks in areas few visitors get to. Though the walking is wild and at times exposed, the accommodation in La Oliva villa is very comfortable and evening meals always an enjoyable time to unwind. If lucky with the weather (we were) this makes a perfect winter escape

Brilliant first experience of overseas group walking.

Captivating Cape Verde - Walking Holiday

Any reservations we had about joining a group walking holiday were quickly dispelled. João our Tour Guide was excellent. He was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable about the Islands and the Cape Verdian people. The Island guides on Fogo, Sao Vicente and Santo Antao were also excellent and expanded on John's knowledge. The highlight of the holiday was the climb up Pico do Fogo and the amazing area of Cha das Caldeiras. The accommodation, though simple, was comfortable and clean. As pointed out in the itinerary, hot water was not always available, but this only added to our experience. The food was excellent and in abundance. The hospitality and friendliness of the Islanders could not be faulted. The organisation of flights, bus pick-ups, ferrys and accommodation was smooth and almost without a hitch. A brilliant holiday.

Sun, snow and slivovits!

Bulgarian Snowshoe Adventure

This is a great trip - we had an excellent week, blessed with fine, clear weather and good snow conditions. All the walks were different and the scenery is just stunning. Accommodation was comfortable (if sometimes quite basic) and we had a real feeling of getting away from it all. Our guide Ivo was friendly, reliable and considerate and looked after us well. Do heed the advice to improve fitness before you go - I didn't and suffered a little as a result!

A brilliant long weekend with every weather you could imagine been thrown at us

Mount Teide Weekend - Tenerife

This trip should not be underestimated if weather conditions are poor. We had 100 km winds and driving snow at the top Long days but excellent fun I would probably rate the trip at a 7. Remember to take micro spikes just in case as these are not something you would normally associate with Tenerife. The guide, Cao, and the on-site team were excellent. A lot was learnt in such a small period of time.
