The Big Walks Club website was set up to record my mountain adventures and was originally inspired by the Ken Wilson's wonderful Big Walks and Classic Climbs books. The site will  hopefully also inspire and help others enjoy their own mountain experiences.

The site provides information about expeditions being planned, as well as reports and photographs from previous trips.

Trip Reports are posted on the website as they happen. The most popular reports on the site include :

Video films have been made of most of trips. These would help greatly in the planning stage if you are thinking of repeating any expeditions and are produced very professionally. If you would like a DVD please go to Trip Reports for details of how to get hold of copies.

A section giving Useful Links is provided for information on weather and routes.

Please leave an e-mail  message if you want any more information about the routes we have completed or if you would like to join me in the Mountains.  It's great  to hear from like minded souls.

A real wilderness experience, this required load carrying of 8-10 days food, and was a big logistical as well as physical challenge. Report from the trip has now been posted.
