Climbing Mount Fuji overnight on the Gotemba Trail in July

When I decided I was going to be in Japan for nearly three weeks in July this year, I knew I wanted to climb Fuji. So did Iain. He’d spent the last two months in Nagoya for his PhD and I’d be meeting him out there. So we started making plans of how to make it happen.

Switzerland, Unique places to stay

Escaping to Melchsee Frutt and the Hotel frutt Lodge & Spa

I’ve loved spending so much time in the mountains recently. My left knee, however, has not had as much fun. My plans for the next few days (another hike) had to change. If I can’t hike in the mountains, I can go to the spa in the mountains.

Long distance hikes, Mountains, Switzerland, Via Alpina

Hiking across Vaud on the Swiss Via Alpina, from L’Etivaz – Rossinière – Rochers de Naye – Montreux

This three-day hike has completely changed my idea of Montreux, by finding out what’s around it and above it. Beautiful mountains aren’t just in the Berner Oberland, after all.

Cold water swimming, Switzerland

Wild swimming in Switzerland’s River Aare every week through winter

For about fifteen years, I hated water. I hated being near it and especially being in it. That’s changed a lot in the last year, starting in Svalbard and continuing in Switzerland throughout the winter.
