Today we did our annual January Challenge Walk (#4) this year called The 6000 300 Challenge because it comprised of a 6km walk along the stunning (but challenging) Sierra Helada between Benidorm and Albir and then a 300m ascent up the Peñon de Ifach at Calpe.

Rockfall at Pas de la Rabosa

2011-06-25T14:33:00.015+02:00

There has recently been rumours of a rock collapse at Pas de la Rabosa (Foxes Pass or Fat Mans Agony) on the north side of the Sierra Aitana. Because this is a popular route with walkers as a means of getting on and off the summit, Eric and I decided that we should go and investigate. From the Font de la Ferrata there are two routes onto the summit, the first (the easier of the two) via the path that leads up to Pas de la Rabosa, or second which goes straight up onto the summit. Being a fairly cool day (around 30°C) we decided to ascend via the direct route and return via Rabosa.

Eric and me on the summit (the highest point in the Alicante province)

Just after coming through the Pas de la Rabosa on our descent, prior to this point we had seen no evidence of new rockfall. Here Eric takes a well earned rest and thinks about his sister Mabel. Click on any of the photos to enlarge.

It was just after this that we discovered that the rumours are true and there has indeed been a significant rock fall. I would not like to have been stood there taking photos when this happened!

Canyoning - Baranc de l'Infern

2011-06-22T20:01:00.005+02:00

Just got back from a days canyoning with Mick Lomas (one of the more adventurous guests to stay at Casa Blava!) We went to the Barranc de l'Infern which is just over an hour from Sella. Stunning scenery, incredible rock formations and 9 abseils all added up for a great day out, which I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of an adventure.

It was a great time of year to go, with all the pools bar one being dry and the one that was'nt offered a welcome cooling down in the 30°C plus temperatures. The actual canyon took just under 3 hours and the walk out up the river bed and then zig zagging up and ancient stepped Mozarabic path another two where, a well offering cool mountain spring water near the top of the path was a very welcome sight!

Fiesta de la Burra (Donkey Fiesta)

2011-06-16T19:55:00.026+02:00

This Saturday will see Sellas first Fiesta de la Burra (Donkey Fiesta). Like I was, you are probably asking yourself what in the name of all things equine is that all about?

Well, this is a fund raising activity being organized by the Sella Fiesta Commission. There will be music, food and drinks available and of course the main event.

My understanding is that part of the plaza Mayor (main square) is to have numbered squares painted on it, participants are then going to be invited to 'buy a square' (or more than one) and then at some point during the day (probably late morning) a donkey will be brought into the plaza. The donkey will then be restricted to the area where the squares have been painted on the floor and participants will have to wait (you're going to love this) until the donkey does a number 2. Whoever has bought the square where the donkey poo lands will be the winner!!!

UPDATE - 19/06/11

Once all 304 squares had been sold (approx 14:00) the donkey was led into the restricted area where we waited, and waited, and waited! This put me in mind of that old English saying, "You can lead a donkey to the square, but you cannot make it sh*t!" Eventually at about 19:30 she obliged and a winner was declared!

La Casa Blava is still available for the dates 21st to 23rd July, so why not combine the tranquility of Sella with an awesome weekend of live music?

If last year was anything to go by, then with a new bigger venue and spread over three nights instead of two 2011 promises to be even better. Last years festival included such bands as Placebo, The Editors and These New Puritans amongst many others.

Its been a great week for walking here, both in and around Sella. I have done a Val de Arc / Golero combo, the Buddhist Valley and this afternoon a quick Peña de Sella. Every day has been sunny with clear blue skies and (once everything has warmed up) temperatures up in the high teens, perfect walking conditions. It does of course cool down pretty quickly once the sun has set, but I was still surprised this afternoon when coming off the Peña, in shorts and a tee shirt to actually end up walking on snow! MHS

With it's eastern end starting near the coast between Altea and Calpe, and stretching for 3.5Km inland the Bernia Ridge is a striking local landmark that is hard to miss as you drive up and down the Costa Blanca.

Starting out at 08:30 myself and 2 friends (Terry & Jim) set off towards the East Summit. After 8 glorious hours which were filled with lots of scrambling, one piece of technical climbing and several abseils as well as never ending, breathtaking 360° views in perfect conditions (cool but with clear blue skies) our Bernia traverse was over. Back at the car with a well earned beer in hand as we looked back up at the ridge Jim described our excursion as 'one of the best days out on the Costa Blanca' (and he's had a few!).

You really DO want to find this one if you go looking for it - over 4 hours round trip with an ascent of over 1000m (3281ft) and then the same again coming down! For more information CLICK HERE

Hi everyone, Eric here - I know that a few of you have been wondering what I've been up to? Well, after watching Alastair Lee's brilliant film The Asgard Project, which follows British 'rock star' Leo Houlding as he makes the first free ascent of the mile high Mt Asgard on Baffin Island (deep in the Arctic) I have to admit that I was left feeling a bit inspired. They say that a picture speaks a thousand words, so heres a couple of grands worth - the first's an Asgard pic of Leo, and the second's an Asgard vid of . . . . . . well just take a look!

Church Tower Under Wraps

2010-03-15T20:14:00.013+01:00

Although there has been a lot in the news over the last few years about Spanish authorities cracking down on illegal properties (ie those built without the correct planning permissions) and in some cases even the demolition of such properties, we believe that this is not the case with the Sella village church of Santa Ana.

Although currently under wraps (scaffolding) we believe that this is just to enable repairs to the tower to be carried out, as opposed to demolition because some higher authority does not have his paperwork in order!

Local Geocache Found on 3rd Attempt

2010-02-18T19:07:00.007+01:00

Su-Per found Sella's Divine Mountain (Traditional Cache)

Then we succeeded!!
On the third attempt we found the most impressive and exciting cache we have found until now. In our first and second attempts we 'attacked' our cache from the south side. We left the car - GPS show nearest driving ability to the cache. Parking around 1000 meters from the goal! But few hundred meters before the goal, we hit our heads against a vertical rock wall! So close to the target We agreed that the cache should be allocated with at least 103 stars under 'Terrain'. In the third attack, we followed the fine directions and arrived to the cache from the north side 2 days of intensive work was crowned with success. Thanks to Eric's Dad & Eric.

The road (CV758) between Finestrat village and the CV770 to Sella has been closed for improvements. We are not sure if this is just a short temporary closure or whether it will last for the duration of the works.

This does NOT affect the normal route up to Sella from the coast (CV770 - Villajoyosa, Orcheta, Sella) so no problems getting to Sella.

Any new information relating to this road closure will be added to this post as it becomes available.

ZERO 1408 - the 2010 January Challenge

2010-01-02T20:14:00.072+01:00

When we talk about the height of a mountain, we are refering to it's height above sea level so, we came up with the idea of doing just that - a walk from sea level to summit!

2nd January 2010, 07:30 - starting at the coast (zero meters above sea level) and walking to the summit of the mighty Puig Campana mountain (1408 meters above sea level) but of course that was not the finish, as we still had to come back down!

"There's no way round it. When it comes to Costa Blanca walking, Puig Campana is The One. Towering over everything else near the coast, its soaring dome fluted with turrets, towers and fanciful crenellations. The ascent looks daunting from a distance (from the south it's the long grey green scar in the middle of the mountain - yes, that one!) and it can get pretty daunting on the ground too." Charles Davis.

Date 2nd Jan 2010
Duration 10 hours 35 minutes
Length 23.34 km / 14.5 miles
Average Speed 2.25 kmh / 1.4 mph
