A little different stoke today and very much at odds with my current whereabouts. I am spending a couple of weeks in South West France where it is furnace hot. The reason? For a bit of a break and ostensibly to get a load of writing done. Verdict on both is average! But getting there all the same.
I received an email last week from someone in Iran who had come across my website. They wished to share with me a photograph of their country which I have included below for you guys.
It is a scene that brings back some great memories for me personally but is also very much at odds with the view many people have of the country. Yes, there are a couple of large deserts kicking about there but the Alborz and Zagros Mountains in winter are stunning. As far as the eye can see in open valleys there is nothing but snow. An awesome sight!
One of the very reasons that next year I am organising and leading a trekking and climbing excursion in Iran. I am stoked to be heading back and cannot wait. The 2 week journey will divide it's time between the Zagros in the south and Central Alborz in the north, taking on a bunch of amazing peaks. With my friend Mohammad from in charge of logistics in country it is sure to be unforgettable. More information coming out soon!
Enjoy your weekend folks!
