Bernia Ridge Traverse

Click to Enlarge

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!).

January Challenge 2011

28.8Km Circular Walk Around the Sierra Aitana


This years January Challenge which took part on Monday 03rd attracted higher numbers than any previous year, with participants setting their own challenge and walking varying distances of between 11 and 28Km. We had a perfect day with clear blue skies and sunshine, although it was a bit cool in the shade of the northern side of the Sierra Aitana!

Many thanks to everyone who took part and ROLL ON 2012!!!
