South American footsteps

South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.

January 2012 - Walking in south Wales

Looking towards Fan Brycheiniog 802 m. I lost my gloves somewhere near here.

Andrew on the way up The Black Mountain - looking south

It looks beautiful but the wind chill took it to about minus 10 degrees C.
Andrew lost his bum pad somewhere near here!!!

A row of Welsh ponies and horses lined up to charge

There was a bit of a stand-off...

Very moody weather near Table Mountain

Me and Andrew on top of Table Mountain with the Sugarloaf in the background. It was VERY cold!!

Lovely dry stone walling near Table Mountain

Looking back towards Table Mountain from near Crickhowell
