Everest Base Camp Feature

In the August 2010 issue of Trail Magazine

 

You may have noticed that I am not much of a writer but somehow I have managed to get a page in the latest issue of Trail. It was a struggle to fit my EBC experience into 400 words which I dont really think does it enough justice but have a look anyway. Click on the mag to view a pdf of my little feature.

 

 

 

 

Not only is the concept of this work very cool and executed with sheer talent but i was fortunate enough to become a small part of it. See my photo transformed 'here' and check out the rest of Jim's fantastic artists blog.

 

No one traveler can walk this entire planet alone. With the help of friends artist Jim Swanson hopes to take on this challenge through his paintings. A collaboration of creativity involving art, travel and friends Jim invites you to become part of his painterly journey—to look beyond the edges of the canvas, through the layers of paint and experience the art of life. Your friendship begins now. Your journey begins here.

Latest Walk - Scafell Pike and Scafell

 
 
 

The problem with living so far from my favourite walking destinations is that you really don’t know what the weather will throw at you until you get there.
Today as we made our way up to Great End and into the clouds on our way to Scafell Pike, we had the wind billowing around our heads making us sniffle and our constant dewy fringes dripping down onto our faces. This all just adds to the sense of freedom and adventure I feel when I’m clambering over boulders and sliding on scree in the mountains.
Today wasn’t a day of big views but more of a navigational refresher. There was no admiring of Wasdale, Eskdale or the neighbouring peaks but the excitement of revisiting England’s highest mountain ,Scafell Pike and finally reaching the top of my last Lakeland 3000er ,Scafell. Our only feasible options for Scafell were an ascent of Foxes Tarn gully or the steeper Lords Rake.
On this occasion we chose option 1. The recent rainfall absorbed by the mountain was being channelled down the gully and this meant our scramble had to be taken with extra care. With this last 3000er bagged and a re-ascent of the highest still to do, I promised myself I’d return another time to visit Lord's Rake and maybe if I’m spoilt I’d get to admire that incredible view down into Wasdale.
