If you fancy going on a real adventure this year but you're tight on time, come and explore Spain with us!
For over five years now we've been taking epic journeys deep into the Spanish mountains and remote villages, on a trip that is truly unlike any other... Thanks to our unique contacts in the country we can show you raw beauty. By getting off the beaten track with us and discover legendary Spanish mountains, villages and traditional food.
My friend I meet though couch surfing in Oxford who has similar interests (travel, explore, hiking eating healthy, invited me to her home city Murcia Spain for an action packed week of hiking and cycling she had organised with local friends. So I booked a week off! I like to get to the mountain's of Spain, as is the best place to re-energise mentally and physically.

Kicked off with two hikes, in the morning along the coast South from La Manga y in the afternoon up to Bateria del monte cenizas.
Day 2
An awesome cycling route with a group of professionals, just 10 minutes south of Murcia followed by lunch (Tapas and beer) And in the evening a much needed Yoga y gong medication (A 9000 years ago in today's Pakistan by advanced people who understood the workings of the body while in Europe people had no language) referred to as a “gong bath” because participants are “bathed” in meditation gong sound waves.

Level: Easy to moderate
I grew up like that, I have always felt free and alive when I am in nature - At peace with the world and with oneself. I came to myself and realised: This is actually life!
Possible one of the most beautiful hikes I have been on. Hiking from Poncebos to Bulnes and back.

With more time than money. A journey from High Wycombe to Murcia Spain via Gex France.
A delightful sequel to Spain in a campervan. Mini-Adventure series.
A week in the lakes, hitting the mountain bike trails and hiking Old Man Coniston. With wild camping spots.
A visit to Snowdonia, hiking the miners track and returning down the Pgy track. Then hitting the road South, looking for more adventure...
Charging the power station from the leisure battery in my campervan or from 110 W solar panel. To be a little self-sufficient when wild camping. Also, allows me to charge laptop and the phone for working remotely on longer trips away.
The world crisis we are all going though, will bring suffering and hard-times. This will bring a brilliant opportunity, from a good kick up the back-side to get people to work and build a better life. As we become in-tune of what's really important, we will not be able to rely on the health care system, people will have no choice but start to take care of themselves. Things will get better, but not the same as before, we will see less plastic rubbish being brought from China and more quality goods made locally.
First trip to Scotland, based at Loch Ken 1/2 hour drive from Castle Douglas.
Visiting 4 of the 7 Stanes; Kirroughtree, Dalbeatie, Glentress and Mabie, plus a days hiking up the Merrick trail.
