Via Ferrata, Dels Patagons, May 26th

Second time at this very scenic K3/K4 via Ferrata in Catalunya.  Somewhat physically strenuous, with some wire bridges and a nice rappel at the end..

Lead Rope Solo Climbing, Castelldefels, Jan 7th

Easy Lead Rope solo Climbing on a scenic crag above Castelldefels south of Barcelona. Testing a new configuration with the dead rope in a small backpack instead of on the ground.. 

eMTB, Parc Del Garraf, Dec 17th

eMTB ride with Guilherme in Parc Del Garraf in the mountains and valleys above Sitges in Catalonia..

Via Ferrata, Venes Del Rojalons, Jan 29th

Back at the K4 Via Ferrata at Venes del Rojalons, about 1.5 hours south of Barcelona.. This time with company from Guilherme.. Temperature was just 3-4 degrees at mid-day, but with no wind still nice in the sun. 

eMTB, Parc Del Garraf, Jan 21st

It was a sunny but chilly Saturday morning, with some iced over puddles but otherwise dry., Did some 35 kilometers with an eMTB rented from Volo E-Bikes in Sitges.. This clip is from a fast green trail with a nice flow.. 

Hiking, Puigpedros, Oct 2nd

A Sunday hike up on the 2900 metres Puig Pedros peak in the Pyrenees on the border between Spain and France.. Perfect weather in the beginning of October. It is mostly an easy ascent without very steep sections. Some snow patches higher on the mountain and great views of course..

eMTB, Parc del Garraf, Aug 20th

A Saturday ride in Parc del Garraf with an e-mtb from Volo e-bikes in Sitges.. Some muddy patches after heavy rain a few days earlier, and not as crazy hot as last weeks/months.. I mostly stayed on fast and flowy "green trails", some blue sections and the gravel roads in between. I have a new action camera, the "Insta 360 Go2", I think need to learn the settings and features better for next time..

Via Ferrata, Venes de Rojalons, May 14th

One lap of the scenic, airy and fairly strenuous via ferrata Venes de Rojalons in Catalunya, Spain. Apparently the difficulty is “K4”. The tunnel section was really nice and quite cold, but only nice after being under the sun for an hour..

MTB, Park Del Garraf, April 29th

Another outing with four hours on great trails in Park del Garraf above Sitges in Catalonia.. I covered around 40km in perfect weather with sun and a light breeze..

Hiking, Pedraforca, Oct 23rd

Hiking & scrambling up and down the beautiful Pedraforca mountain in northern Catalunya with perfect weather in late October.. The elevation gain from parking was around 900 metres, and large portions of the lap is quite steep and exposed.. I was happy to have brought hiking poles to avoid stumbling and to offload the legs a bit..

Hiking & Paddling, Congost De Mont-Rebei, October 2nd

Hiking and paddling through the crazy beautiful Congost De Mont-Rebei Canyon at the boarder between Catalunya and Andalucia. The area / hiking trail was closed for 10 months due to a rock fall and re-opened a few weeks ago. It turned out that a sunny early October was perfect with some 21-24 degrees.

MTB, Barcelona, Aug 1st

A few hours of casual mountain biking on the gravel roads on the hills above Barcelona. Myself, Xavi and Beverly enjoyed the great views, but it got very hot and humid as the day progressed.

Congost de Mont-Rebei, July 29th 2020

Hiking and kayaking in the amazingly beautiful canyon of Congost de Mont-Rebei. A place where you try to keep walking and paddling, but you can’t help stopping all the time to take in the stunning views.. It was a long drive from Barcelona but definitely worth it..

Paddleboarding, Castelldefels, July 23rd

A casual 2 hour paddle on a rented board at the beach in Castelldefels south of Barcelona.. A nice workout, it’s been a few years since last time, but once I found my balance, I could power up a bit..

Kayaking, Castelldefels, July 22nd

Two hours of kayaking on a little rented sit-on-top along the beach in Castelldefels south of Barcelona. Some fun waves from a gentle breeze gave opportunities for small surfs close to shore. Decent workout under a strong sun.
