Ibiza

The last time I was in Ibiza was 24 years ago, Pete Tong, Danny Rampling, Paul Oakenfold and acid house were everywhere! 
It was the days of the smiley T shirt:

Although the music scene and clubbing is a huge part of Ibiza the island has a lot more on offer too.  The beaches are beautiful, the old town is a stunning place and the island has lots of great restaurants and some really cool bars! 

 

Heading to a sunnier place......

It's time to head off again, especially as the weather in the UK is well and truly rubbish!!!

Arrived in St Julians Bay in Malta, which is a place I've never visited before, and I have to say it's lovely! Fantastic sunny weather, lovely clear waters and lots of nice restaurants!

.........the diving is ok too!

Following a great week in Egypt I headed back home for a few weeks, catching up with friends and family, and a big party weekend for Gav & Hayley's weeding:

Red Sea - Egypt

It's Sunshine Time!

Monday 7th May I headed out to the Red Sea, beautiful weather.......!!!

Ischgl Closing Party

On Saturday morning I left Chamonix and headed to Ischgl for the end of season closing party - what a huge party it was!!!

3 days of great fun had by all.......!!!

Next Stop Chamonix!

Following a week at home, which was very nice, it was time to head out to Chamonix for a weeks ski touring with Mountain Tracks and my mate Paul.

The main goal was to summit Mont Blanc, however, it soon became clear that this was not going to happen due to the weather! A huge dump of fresh snow had fell the week before I arrived and it continued to snow when I got to Chamonix.  Add to this high winds and unstable temperatures and the avalanche risk was way too high!

However, fresh snow means another chance to ski some pow! The weather cleared on Sunday and we had a great day on the Grand Montets......

Fresh tracks!!!

On Monday we headed up the Argentiere glacier and planned to stay the night at the Argentiere hut at approx 2800mtrs. We skinned up the glacier, past the Hut, and headed up the Glacier des Amethystes to the Col du Tour Noir.
Following this we skied back down and headed for the hut for the evening.

What a great day!!!

The following morning we awoke to heavy snow and high winds! The ski back down was interesting to say the least.........

Luckily for us we had Klemen, our mountain guide, to lead the way down, navigating around the huge crevasses in the near zero visibility, high winds and deep snow!!!
