How to: Wakhan Corridor

Pat Corden June 25, 2019

In May/June we spent 25 days in the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan. We had an amazing time and put together all this information you need to be able to do your own trip. Hope it helps. Stories coming in future blogs soon.

With some time to kill we headed off into the mountains to catch some classic Tajikistan views. Turns out here are more impressive mountains here than you could shake a stick at.

With the antics of Colombia’s party scene behind us, we were all keen for one last nature fuelled stint in tropical North Colombia.

Huayhuash Circuit: Testing Our Norwegian Import

Pat Corden November 25, 2018

Being the only anticipated hike prior to leaving Australia, the 7-12 day Huayhuash circuit had a lot to live up too. We nervously got ready to go unguided for up to 12 days through and around 6000m giants, expecting snowstorms, running out of food and getting lost. Somewhat fortunately, the journey was smooth, and filled with unparralled moments of beauty.

The Big Papa Jo: Part 2

With our first section of the trek completed, we were ready to leave the crowds behind. Not that we’d been swamped by them previously, but apparently on our next section from Yanama to Huancacalle and then on to Santa Teresa we shouldn’t expect to see a single gringo and no more than a few local farmers.

AUSANGATE

The Warm Up: Ausangate

Pat Corden October 19, 2018

With a massive 200km hike planned and our bodies perfectly out of shape we decided we needed a warm up hike to prepare our bodies. Blindly we chose the Ausangate trek which turned out to be 5 days above 4500m, whoops.

Adios Patagonia: Cinco Lagunas

Pat Corden April 22, 2018

Just when we thought we’d seen all that Patagonia could throw at us, this incredible hike came our way. Spending 8 incredible days hiking through this remote and isolated wilderness was an incredible experience and a great note to leave Patagonia on.

Patagonia's Hidden Gem: The Huemul Circuit

Pat Corden April 4, 2018

With three Dutchies we'd met 12 hours previously we set off on what was to be five days of ‘the unprepared in the unknown’. We took on 100+ km/h winds over mountain passes, zip lined over rapids, took shelter for 36 hours in a little mountain Refugio and had our minds blown by the indescribable beauty and solitude of the Patagonian Icefield

Desolate Roads to Iconic Peaks: Mount Fitz Roy

Pat Corden March 24, 2018

After getting another glimpse of Southern Patagonia on the Cabo Froward trek, it was time to start the jaunt up North in search of higher peaks and wider valleys. What we got was desert roads, a lost passport and three days of hiking bliss.

Cabo Froward

With three days to complete the six-day hike, we fought again time, tides and Pacha Mama (Mother Nature) herself. Read on to hear the story of this gruelling 72km hike to the southernmost point of continental South America.

Dientes De Navarino

Pat Corden February 26, 2018

The excitement in our bellies roared as we watched an epic sunrise over the Andes from our plane to Punta Arenas in southern Patagonia. Our excitement was dampened only slightly as the wheels of the plane screeched on the runaway when we realised we had no place to stay, not a single Chilean peso and Spanish literacy comparable to a goat.
