CRM in Patagonia

"Are you absolutely sure they said the vineyard was straight ahead – you can't miss it!?"

CRM, Jim's Loire's editor is away for three weeks in South America – mostly trekking in Patagonia:

"Just to prove I can still do it - here I am after a 4-hour long drag up. Another 3 hours to get back down. A hard day! Fantastic day and fantastic landscape." From Torres del Paine.    

Seeking peace and quiet after the excitement of Forest Hill!

Torres del Paine, Chile

Finding the bustle and excitement of Forest Hill (London SE23) too much CRM has headed off to Patagonia for a trekking holiday with a like minded group. She flew to Buenos Aires then headed north to the Iguazú Falls. Then returned to Buenos Aires for a few days before heading southward to Patagonia.  Above is the first pic to arrive back. Today the party is due to tackle the mountains in the distance – part of the Torres del Paine National Park.
