I've re-read it and can't see where it disapproves of nudity... which would have been a surprise as i don't. I think a few assumptions have been made :)<br /><br />On the other hand a couple having sex in the middle of a walkers' path and then being shocked when someone almost stumbles upon them is, let me say how to put this diplomatically, rather stupid and deserving of being mocked.Real Tenerifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668068674418480199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636789327043072729.post-81590812691711696682012-02-11T14:06:09.419+00:002012-02-11T14:06:09.419+00:00If you go walking in a hot country where public nu...If you go walking in a hot country where public nudity is legal, surprisingly you will come across naked people.<br /><br />I feel sorry for those who have such a mind body disconnect that they cannot even use proper words for body parts and call them "bits".

Still haven't forgiven her and that was 1997...<br /><br />As a student you walk everywhere all the time and by the end of my first year I was fed up with the hassle and cost of buying new shoes so often.<br /><br />So I went into Birmingham over the summer to look for a pair of boots that would do the job. £125 later I came out of Rackhams with my camels.<br /><br />If I remember rightly my pair gave me blisters when I first bought them too but once they were broken in they were just great. They did me the rest of my time at uni without skipping a beat - and the more beat up they got the better they looked and felt.<br /><br />Size 9 would be perfect for me so if you ever change your mind...<br /><br />Hope this doesn't sound too weird but could you post/email me a few more pictures of them please; I've been looking for 'just the right pair' of boots to replace them for about ten years now and nothing I've been able to find matches up to them in my minds eye - and there are very few pictures of them on the net (it was how I found your blog) so having a few more pictures of them from various angles would really help...<br /><br />Cheers<br />M<br /><br />ps I've got a pair of brashers too - hillmaster classics with the air8 tag on the laces - and for hillwalking they're awesome, whether it's the south downs or the wilds of snowdonia..Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192925452172615705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636789327043072729.post-38295506364596685802012-02-07T17:59:51.118+00:002012-02-07T17:59:51.118+00:00Hi Martin,

They're in mint condition and are size 9 (43). But sorry, they're not for sale.<br />Loved them when I bought them and still do - even if they don't get out much.

Other favourite months would be May/June because of the profusion of spring flowers in some parts.<br />Months i'd be wary about would be November and February which are the start and the end of the rainy season. Most times rainfall is short and sharp...but visitors might just be unlucky during these months.Real Tenerifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668068674418480199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636789327043072729.post-17266198099276713652011-05-14T09:32:55.730+01:002011-05-14T09:32:55.730+01:00Hello, I plan to travel to Tenerife this year or i...Hello, I plan to travel to Tenerife this year or in 2012.

I've been meaning to do the Las Fuentes walk for a long time, but there were so many great walks to get around first.<br /><br />I'm finding this all over the place with the signs. There have been very few places where signposts have been company throughout the route...in fact I'm struggling to think of any - and I could name a couple which actually sent me in the wrong direction. It's as though they stick up a couple of posts and get bored. <br /><br />La Gomera is similar to La Palma re info and decent signage, but they've been attracting German walkers for a long time and are a bit more tuned in to what visitors who are into walking expect.<br /><br />Still, adds a bit of excitement:)Real Tenerifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668068674418480199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636789327043072729.post-2449130281175132552010-05-21T12:10:28.238+01:002010-05-21T12:10:28.238+01:00I couldn't agree more with you on this.

The trekking over here is so underrated and totally forgotten by local authorities its hard to believe.<br /><br />Tenerife so much to learn from their neighbor La Palma. Over there most trails a well marked with proper signs and distance info at every dubious intersection. On top of that all the popular ones have proper parking with info boards, mini maps available, fresh water taps along the routes etc. <br /><br />We "discovered" this hidden valley 8 years ago and was even invited into the private home of the old Canarian that lives in the really curious house close to the abandoned village. His caves that he personally had carved out were amazing just next to the barranco.<br /><br />Did you do the trek from Acojeja or Vera de Erques?Michael Bolognesihttp://www.michaelbolognesi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636789327043072729.post-61099107764899375432010-05-20T17:18:23.082+01:002010-05-20T17:18:23.082+01:00thanks for this inspirational post. its good to se...thanks for this inspirational post. its good to see that there are still beautiful places out there where you can experience the feeling of being truly at peace and balanced. hopefully more countries will begin to recognize the value of holding to places like this and preserve this experience for the future.
