I’m in the process of migrating my photo galleries to smugmug.

Walking in Switzerland

First in a series of three walks in Switzerland

Unfortunately, too busy to update for the moment, but this will hopefully change soon. Off to Mt Feathertop this Easter, this will be my “20th anniversary” climb of this peak – my first ascent was with the scouts (venturers) in Easter 1988. The route we followed then started at Pretty Valley Storage on the Bogong High Plains, walking down to Blairs Hut for the first night. The second day was Blair Hut/ Diamantina Spur/ Feathertop/ Razorback/ Swindlers Spur/ Dibbins Hut – anyone who knows this area will realise that second day was crazy, and certainly isn’t recommended! Last day was back to Pretty Valley. This time I’m going to follow the traditional route up Bungalow Spur.

I’ve updated the walk descriptions for the two walks in the Grindelwald area in Switzerland to include scanned copies of relevant maps. I’ve also substantially re-written the Mt Feathertop – Razorback walk description and added some new photos from a walk there in late December.

The new year resolution for this blog is to update on a more consistent schedule – I’m aiming for weekly updates, to be done on the weekend.

For a change the lack of posts in the last week or so is due to me being too busy walking, rather than working. Just returned from a superb weekend hike down at Wilsons Prom, and visited Cathedral Range last week. Walk descriptions to be added soon.
