We awoke to no rain and a forecast optimistic enough that we put our wet weather gear in our packs. It was still a little overcast and cold but we had a little climb to get us back on the trail from our accomodation to warm us up. When we crested the hill and returnedContinue reading “Day 3 Juliana Trail (Korada to Kambreško)”

Day 2 Juliana Trail (Smartno to Korada)
The odds of undertaking a 30 day long hike without encountering some rain I presume are pretty slim it’s just unfortunate that our weather forecast for the first couple of days was just quite so bad. We woke this morning and just put our rain gear on straight away and headed down to see whatContinue reading “Day 2 Juliana Trail (Smartno to Korada)”
Day 1 Juliana Trail (Nova Gorica to Smartno)
We got up ready and rearing to go full of energy and excitement. It helped that last night we ate dinner at our guest house and were absolutely blown away by the quality of food and service. Luckily we are staying at the same place on the way back so the prize of eating atContinue reading “Day 1 Juliana Trail (Nova Gorica to Smartno)”
Juliana Trail The Beginning
As the Juliana Trail was only officially opened in 2019 I couldn’t have heard of it that long ago but I do remember being enchanted by the idea of being able to explore a country by foot and this hike was meant to take us around a beautiful part of Slovenia where we would stayContinue reading “Juliana Trail The Beginning”
Life Update

Our tenant had unfortunately died and left the house in a state and we had a lot of work to do to get it back up to liveable.

Chamonix…The last bit
After our splitboarding course our next step was to set off on a route by ourselves. We thought we would start with a route that we had already done and we made sure that the weather forecast was going to be good too just to make it as easy as possible. We were both prettyContinue reading “Chamonix…The last bit”
Splitboarding the Vallee Blanche
Possibly one of the most famous runs in the world the Vallee Blanche is a 22km off piste trail starting at the Aguille du Midi at 3842m descending back to the valley and the end of the glacier for us at about 1800m. We were very keen to do it but due to the factContinue reading “Splitboarding the Vallee Blanche”
Foray into Splitboarding
We had been patiently waiting since the start of the season to go on our splitboarding course and the week finally arrived. We were both equal parts nervous and excited and were glad we had a pre meeting the night before to meet our guide and the rest of the group and talk through whatContinue reading “Foray into Splitboarding “
First trips to Les Contamines and Saint Gervais
As we mentioned before the Chamonix ski pass gives us access to a number of ski areas and different resorts and after our dump of snow for Christmas we thought it would be a great time to head out and explore a couple of the other places we have access to. While I am sureContinue reading “First trips to Les Contamines and Saint Gervais”
The Beginning of the Splitboarding Adventure
Our goal for this winter season was to combine our love of snowboarding with our love of hiking and take up the sport of splitboarding. This basically involves having a snowboard that divides into two which means you can hike up the mountain before re attaching the two pieces and snowboarding down some powder. Easy.Continue reading “The Beginning of the Splitboarding Adventure”
