    Afternoon All (well it is here, also wet and grey)….

    That greyness is assuaged by my thinking back to 17 fantastic days on the JMT this summer – from Yosemite Valley to Whitney Portal…

    Organising things for a quick kick-off is not easy from the UK and so we only resupplied twice, Mammoth Lakes and VVR…. I carried all of our food for 12 days from that point (my girlfriend having hurt her back – probably just an excuse ;-)

    What a trip – back here it seems hard to believe we ever did it…..pictures speak louder than my mangled prose….bivouac on rockmuir pass storm moves inpinchet

    I will post some more…maybe…only just read the 5mb file size limit (ooops)….then I might start in on the Pyrenees, GR20 in Corsica, the Dolomites :-)

    Yes I get down to Wales a bit, but not as often as I would like….it is a long way; I realise saying that to an American (assumption?) might beggar belief…but we have a LOT of traffic to get through….

    A shot of Tryfan from last summer….

    Ed,

    Thank you for sharing your photos of the JMT.

    Words fail to describe what you see out there.

    I have only done the High Sierra Trail from Sequoia National Park to Whitney.

    Nice to see the other parts that I missed.

    Hope to follow in your footsteps one day.

    -Tony

    I must say, the colors in your photos are so intense and rich, what camera did you use?

    An Exilim EX-Z1000 – I suspect the CCD or colour rendering or whatever it is causes that effect….although TBH it was blue and sunny every day; I am no judge of Sierra conditions really, seldom like that here in the UK alas!

    Nice shots BTW; I see they were blasting Forrester when you went over too; the trail crew gave us a bananna :-)

    Hey Ed thanks for the picture of Wales- I lived in Swansea for a few years and did alot of hikes in the country side and by coast in Milford Haven. Brings back good memories.
