Volcanic-adventure Teneriffe

My partner and I have been to Teneriffe last week. We climbed to the peak of the Teide, Spain's highest mountain and a volcano. Okay, we took the cablecar to 200m below the summit, but it took us another 50 minutes to reach the peak at 3718m. The air was incredibly thin, our hearts pounded like we had just run a marathon and the sulphur fumes were not making life any easier up there. Still, it was worth the effort getting all the way to the top!

Here's me coming down the steep and rocky path:

I went hiking in the hills near my house, no good pics of it to show unfortunately, although this is a little something anyway:

Because of technical difficulties, I couldn't really upload the picture on my Mac, so I used the photo application to get it instead. Very poor quality, I know.

Here's a shot of me back home after the two hour ordeal. Safari shirts, since at least last spring, have become as much a part of my style as hats now, if not a little more. Wearing the Open Road here.

A friend and I recently had a day hike around Bath, England trying out 'historic hiking' with a view to some longer hikes next year.
Here are some photos taken on the walk with a 1930's Zeiss Tengor box camera.

Kitted out in original/reproduction 1930/1940's clothing and equipment.

Well, that explains why some 1930s photos look the way they do.

That's awesome Botty! I have the same and thinking about getting a roll of film for casual photography.

Renault, nice photo. Is that a Winchester model 71 ya got there?

 

[Renault]

No, it's a model 64. Mfg in 53. Wish I had a nice model 71! All it takes is money! . That and a model 65 would complete the trifecta.

 

[PADDY]

The photos just keep getting better!

Yes indeed, all it takes is money!. That 64 is still a nice companion for walks around the hills though....

Not too action packed, but the spirit of adventure is there:

In Mussoorie, India (the Queen of the Hills), in front the ruins of George Everest's house. He could pick a great location!

This is the Thumbnail for a recent YT video by friends Chuck and Laura, currently exploring Southeast Alaska.


The hat, I believe, is a Pendleton fedora. The cigar, knowing Chuck, is a Punch double corona.
