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.

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.

Hiking Stage 14 of the Via Alpina from Kandersteg to Adelboden

The hiking season passed by too quickly last year, so this year I’m trying to make better use of it. After ticking off two more Via Alpina hikes the previous two weekends (Griesalp-Kandersteg and Engelberg-Meiringen), I decided to continue from where I left off in Kandersteg and head towards Adelboden.

Mountain time: looking out at the Engelhörner range, Wetterhorn, and Wellhorn

After nearly a year of living in Meiringen, the mountains I see every day are becoming familiar friends. Yet naming them and knowing their history is another story, something I’ve become more and more ashamed of.
