The Itinerary
The current itinerary is:
July 2005
I’m leading a World Challenge Expedition to South America for a month. This was going to Bolivia but due to the recent civil unrest it will now being going to either Argentina or Ecuador. I’ll update once we know for sure
August 2005
Obviously the main event here is Lea’s 30th but as a side show we’ll be spending 3 weeks in Scotland and a final week in the Lakes. No firm plans yet but rest assured there will be plenty of climbing
September 2005
Its off to the Alps to meet John and Leigh. Again no firm plans yet but the Matterhorn was mentioned. John and Leigh have to return to the UK by mind September but Lea and I are staying until early October. Again there are no firm plans and the weather will play a major part. It could include more mountaineering or we could push onto the Dolomites or even the Pyrenees or Costa Blanca. Again stay posted and we’ll update as we know more.
October 2005
In early October we’ll return to the UK and get ourselves packed for the major leg of the trip. The first stage is off to Nepal and join up with Adventure Peaks Nepal Unclimbed Expedition. The team are planning to attempt an unclimbed peak (circa 6,500m) in the Langtang Region of Nepal plus a couple of other peaks as acclimatisation. We’ll return to the UK in mid November/
November - January 2006
The longest part of the trip. Two days after returning from Nepal we’re back on long haul flight for 9 weeks in New Zealand. On route we’ll have a day in Singapore and 5 days in Sydney on the way back. Again no firm plans yet apart from a desire to do loads of tramps, a bit of sea kayaking and generally see all NZ has to offer/
February 2006
The final part of the trip is a month in Scotland winter climbing. This is obviously hugely dependant on winter actually arriving but fingers crossed it will
March 2006
That’s it, trip over and time to get a live
