It was with some trepidation that we heard about the plan for our neighbours Patrick and Chris to scale Mul Hacen, the highest mountain in Southern Spain. Not just because our two friends Ken and Wayne had very nearly come to grief there a couple of years ago (although that was in February and they'd encountered the worst storm in a decade, and this is in June) but because the last time this intrepid pair had ventured up a mountain together, they'd got stuck in Patrick's big 4 x 4 and had to be rescued by Ralph!
Admittedly they'd gone up this time with several grown ups (allegedly), and the plan was to take a slow pace and stop overnight in the climbing hostel. But those of us left in base camp Tijola couldn't really rest easy until they made it back in one piece. Not only did they manage to do this, but Chris also came back with some photos of this amazingly high place. Have a look for yourselves on their Flickr site - http://www.flickr.com/photos/two_musketeers (you might also like to make some comments - we couldn't resist it on some of the pictures!).
