Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 And so The Walk (take 2) begins. I arrived at Prestatyn train station right on time at 16:23, after a surprisingly smooth trip all the way from Gent. Several trains were involved: Gent to Brussel-Zuid, Eurostar…
In 2004 I did Offa’s Dyke, or at least part of it. It was the first time I’d ever embarked on a long distance hike, solo or otherwise. I have since come to love these experiences and I am also…
Finally some photos of my visit to Tokyo on the way to Nepal. Photos
Here is a selection of photos of my Annapurna Circuit Trek. I am missing one memory card with photos taken during this trek on my Nikon D70. I am hoping that it is in our luggage still to arrive from…
I said goodbye to Pokhara and everyone at the Chhetri / 3Sisters Guesthouse this morning and flew to Kathmandu. I am comfortably checked-in to the ‘Yak and Yeti Hotel’. Will go for lunch now and then I’m off for some…
As promised a bit more on the last few days. As said I finished the Annapurna Circuit yesterday, May 3rd. Which means I did it in 15 days instead of the planned 18 days (and I wasn’t the only one;…
Hi Everyone, Just a quick one to let you know I have finished the Circuit yesterday, May 3rd, and am now resting in Pokhara for a few days. More news later today – have to go catch up with a…
Today we hiked from Jomsom to Kalapani. Around 10:30 we stopped in a place called Tukuche and I had the best apple pie on the Circuit in a genuine Dutch Bakery! Simply delicious – with a cup of real coffee!!!!!…
Hello all! Since I found a ‘cybercafe’ in Jomsom may as well post again! Hiked from Muktinath to Jomsom today and visited Kagbeni on the way. All is still going great! Thank you all for the comments and emails, Stephen…
I am comfortable in Muktinah after the biggest day of hiking; today was the highlight of the Circuit trek: Crossing the Thorung-La High Pass at 5416m. It was a hard day’s work but well worth it! Yesterday I made an…
Hey All, Not too sure whether I’ll get this post through, internet is very unreliable here in the mountains! That Ice Lake is at 4460m, not 4160; so we went up 1100m and back down again today.. very hard work.…
Hello Everyone! This is day 6 of my Annapurna Circuit Trek and I am in Manang at about 3500m. Tomorrow will make a day hike to ‘Ice Lake’ at 4160m and then come back to Manang again. I have a…
I have just finished my 4th day of hiking and all is going well! Altitude is not a factor yet as I am only at about 2650m. The weather has been good and the tea-houses comfortable. This is the first…
I arrived safe and well, with all my luggage, in Pokhara yesterday and went straight to the Chhetri Sisters (3sisters) guesthouse. I was warmly welcomed back and immediately felt ‘at home’ here again. Today I am lazing around Pokhara; tomorrow…
I had a fabulous stay in Tokyo, absolutely loved it. I spent 2 days discovering different parts of the city (and I realize that I have only scratched the surface) and the 3rd day I made a daytrip to Kamakura,…
