SOLER'S MOUNTAIN TREKS

On vacation in September 2000 I walked around Mt Blanc. The route was 186 km, which I covered in 7 days. This is one of the "classic" walks of Europe and passes through three countries and seven valleys, in what amounts to a large national park. It was a good feeling to do such a long circular walk alone and it felt like an achievement. The views on the French side were spectacular. Tour of Mt Blanc

In 2002 I walked out one morning and kept going up till I became an Accidental Alpinist. I have added 24 photos to the account.

In August 2005 I walked most of the way around Monte Rosa, which is on the Swiss-Italian border, and climbed three 4000 metre peaks. These were the Allalinhorn, the Breithorn and the spectacular Mt Castor (4226m). Tour of Monte Rosa

In March 2009, Les and I went trekking in the South Patagonian Andes

Here are some shots from my climb of Mt Cotopaxi (5,897m) in Ecuador: Cotopaxi 1 and Cotopaxi 2.

The wonderful peaks around Mt Cook in New Zealand: NZ 4, NZ 5, NZ 6, NZ 7 and NZ 8.

Les and I did some climbing above Chamonix: Chamonix 6, Chamonix 7 and Chamonix 8.

We also visited Malaysia: the Pinnacles and Mt Kinabalu, both in Borneo. New
