Can you believe it? Slightly known as I am in the beer World that is Oslo, I was lucky to meet a couple people from Cafe Sara who asked me if I was going this year. So, the Friday arrived, and I headed out to the festival, armed with some money and and strong legs, I crossed the street from my apartment and arrived at the festival Oh, by the way, I live across the street from the church. After such a long trek, my thirst was big and I went straight for the tent selling tokens. Were the tokens a little more expensive this year? Normally I would, on a fine day like it was, head straight for the outdoor tents and all the wonderful hazy stuff they pour these days, but I guess I was in a reflective mood, so I headed into the church proper and contemplated my next move. Not exactly a summer tiple, but, oh my, what a wonderful beer! After enjoying a few beers from other breweries inside the church, Amundsen, BrewDog and Quart among them, I ventured outside again. Things this year were reassuringly like last year. As usual, lots of changes to talk to new people, wether just sliding up to them and commenting on their beers, or, as in my case, actually having people come up and say hi who has followed me on Untappd or even knew who I was from Instagram! I love craft beer not just for the beers them selves, but for the people. Craft beer geeks are lovely people, and beers really make people talk! The tendency seems to be for a lot of regional Norwegian brewers and some of the craft beer big boys from Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and so on. Trends… What are the trends? As far as a Norwegian trend existing, it will have to be Kveik. Yes, the Norwegian farmhouse yeast, that living beast that needs to be nurtured and stuck to a construction of sorts were clearly in evidence. A fun thing they did this year was announcing hours in advance that a brewery would pop some special bottle or keg. I enjoyed this, even if I did avoid the lines at times. BrewDog had a great representative this year and they popped the corks on several bottles from OverWorks, and this made this BrewDog Bitch very happy. I know I complained about the lack of foreign brewers, but these guys more than made up for it. The weather did treat us to some wet from time to time, and that moved me, into the church again, and I had some of my best conversations there. And I think this year what I really took away from the festival was how good the mood was. Yeah, one or two people did get a bit on the wrong side of tipsy, but no one were in any way, cruel or nasty, the whole mood was so nice this year! I really hope that this festival now solidifies itself as what it should be, the premium beer festival for the city of Oslo. There are smaller contenders out here, but this festival is for everyone, and I know that is exactly what I want when I go hunting for beers and for friends of beers! Halvards Stockholm Brewing Co. It is November in Oslo. But in all this wintery boredom shines a sparkling new promise of cultured beery joy in the opening of the first Mikkeller bar in Norway! The bar is small, like most of the others. I think stylistically the Odense bar is not unlike this one. I love the art, Henry and Sally in various Norwegian scenarios and clothes by the eminent artist Keith Shore. I love that the bar is split in two colours and that split goes straight across the paintings on the walls! The taplines numbers 20 of Mikkeller goodness with, regular Mikkeller beers, San Diego, New York and Warpigs being the norm, as it should, and its wonderful. The fridge have some really awesome cans priced not at all terrible compared to Norwegian prices, although the Baghaven beers tend to be quite steep for your wallet. They have some bar snacks, and work on making local meats and so on a fixture. A good idea. I also hope they get some biltong or beef jerky one day. I can now get my surrogate Copenhagen feel two places near my flat! Brus Bar Oslo is located just two blocks away. You have lots of choices for great craft beer in the streets surrounding Torggata, some amazing burgers and concert venues. The bar is a verified venue on Untappd , menu is updated frequently, and so are the beers on offer. I have been coming her for a few years now only having missed the first year , so it feels almost as comforting as the arrival of Christmas and spring. Once again, the people arranging the festival the fine folks at Arena Nord contacted me and asked me if I would help promote the festival up in Oslo, Norway where I work and live. This year I handed out flyers at far flung places like Copenhagen A beer festival , Gothenburg various beer bars and in Oslo at beer festivals, hanging up posters in bars and handing out flyers. Smaller breweries in smaller towns and more rural areas of Denmark, who have perhaps some other goals and must work towards other goals than your Mikkeller, Amager, Dugges, Omnipollo, Lervig or Cervisiam. As an example. Many of these breweries also have a very seasonal sale, in that they are brewpubs with a large tourist customer base in the Summer and need to make their money during 3 or 4 months. Getting the Norwegian or German summer guests to drink at your bar is all about the guest trying something with the name of the place they visit, and these people will most likely not be TOO interested in a Brut IPA or a hazy NEIPA that looks like turkey gravy. So, to me, this is what the festival in some regards are all about. The breweries this year was more or less the same bunch as previous years, with some very nice additions. The brewer runs the YouTube site Master of Hoppets and is well known to beer geeks like me. He brought some much-needed American style Craft Brew to the festival. Their strong selling points are well made lagers, Vienna styles as well as spiced beers and some whopping porter and imperial stouts. The entertainment I basically ignore, as I am there to drink beers and talk to people, but the always fun part is the handing out of awards and diplomas. I was happy to see Two Face Brewing walking away with an award as well as my local brewery Skagen once again getting one for their lovely Christmas Beers. Skagen also brought some IPA brewed for the festival itself. I dont know if any of the other breweries did that this year, and to be honest I forgot to see if there was a bottles festival beer like previous years. My bad. Once again Royal Unibrew had a heavy presence. As often the case, style over substance, or taste in my opinion. There were also some nice importers of beer, of spirits, some coffee roasters and a stand with some pretty awesome mead! They all arrived with some wonderful porters, strong stouts and a surprising amount of barley wines! I really think the food was top-notch this year, and just the kind of food you want at a beer festival. Enjoyed the little detail with the bavarian pattern tablecloth as well. As before, the mood of this festival is really great. People come up to you and ask you what you are drinking, what you think, the brewers and the others who work the festival are nice and open to questions. I really started getting interested in beer, beyond just drinking it, many years ago. As a bonus to my travels to various countries around the World, it felt like a stamp in a virtual passport. I caught the bug and added new beer flavours to my memory and pounds to my belly. I have now been to Stockholm quite a few times in the past years, so I thought it was time for a Stockholm Beer Guide. Author says tap into Sweden! A few years back Denmark was the undisputed great Scandinavian power of the new Craft Beer Revolution. There were new breweries opening up at all the time, at least until Just like most other countries embracing this new craftbeer revolution, the Swedes are inspired by US trends. They brew hoppy beers in all shades, and some of them are amazing Omnipollo has an Imperial IPA called Nebuchadnezzar so good your toes will curl. Personally I feel they excel at brewing Imperial Stouts. It just feels right somehow, the country being on the Baltic Sea and everything. They have also been quite quick to embrace sour beers, but also with a style of their own. The Grandfather of all good beer pubs in Sweden. The place is run by people with a real passion for beer and it shows. The place is near legendary to those who are die-hard fans of lambic, gueze and other types of Belgian sour beer, with an extensive cellar that holds decades worth of exclusive beers. In addition to this they have a long constantly updated tapline, they hold fun tap-takeovers, they have ceveral casks online and the upstairs fridges are brimming with craftbeer from all over Sweden and lots of other places around the World. At first look perhaps not unlike Akkurat. There are lots of taps with many fine Swedish and foreign craft beers, as well as a big selection of beers in their fridges. Good burgers, good crowd, very busy at most times, it might be an idea to go here a bit earlier in your beer hunting not least because so many other good pubs are very near. A place with a very heavy old style atmosphere, it has a great number of good beers, not least on tap, many of them are brewed specially for the bar, as they are loved by many breweries. When they celebrated their anniversary two years ago a long line of well known breweries from Scandinavia and outside brewed beers specially for them. The food is good and the bar itself is a real gem. The Monks bars are part of a chain of pubs, some are brewpubs, some go for the Belgian style, some for Porters and this one tend mainly to American style beers. A good place for some of those rare Americans beers I only dream of in Oslo, I have had more beers from Dogfish Head here than any other place in Europe. A treat the last time I was here, American trapist beer! This bar also brews the Monks beers sold around town. A very nice bar in a lovely quiet street. A great place for the beer, a wondeful place for the bar. Located underground in what must seem like catacombs or even tombs underneath Gamla Stand old town , this is a gem of a place. You can not afford yourself not to visit this lovely bar. Here you can sample imports from the US, Belgium, the Netherlands as well as Swedish beers and the beers brewed by Monks not here, elsewhere in town. Omnipollo is one heck of a brewery. They make some astonishing tastebombs! Sometimes the drinking experience is enhanced by the view. At Mosebacke you can look out on the city of Stockholm from upon high. It is nearest the entrance. The other places selling beer up here have only Swedish industrial lagers. You can now find 2 BrewDog pubs in Stockholm. The older and slightly bigger is on the north side of Kungsholmen, just before the bridge to the mainland. It has a really good vibe, lots of good stuff on bottle, a constant selection of BrewDog beers on tap and a good guestline. Sankt Eriksgatan Smaller than the other bars I have seen so far, they still sported a good tapline, a well stocked fridge and very nice food. But it gets really crowded so keep your options open. A joint venture between Swedish Carlsberg and Brooklyn Brewery, the money comes from the former and the expertise from the latter. You can take the ferry from various places, I took mine from Gamla Stan. Arriving at the island, just step off the boat and walk straight ahead to the door infront of you, and presto, you are at the brewpub. Hungry from all the sea air, I enjoyed a very pleasant hamburger and some tiny round potatoes. You can see the brewery through a window, but it has to compete with the gorgeous view of the sea and the islands. I just had to write a line about this bar. I thought it was a shame, not least because I usually live in the same street when I visit Stockholm and the Keith Shore on the wall was really cool. They are looking for a new place and new partners. The Swedish state run liqourshops are more or less all over Stockholm. They sport a good selection of Swedish and foreign beers of all kinds. It is beer brewed with an ABV of 3. This beer is the only kind allowed to be sold in groceryshops in Sweden. The Bottl3. These are just the bars I happen to like the best or think are more relevant to anyone wanting to go on a craftbeer hunt in Stockholm. It is an institution and should not be missed. Another fine place is Babajan Katrina Bangatan I hope this inspires you to take a trip to wonderful Stockholm. Ah, heroes, the caped kind, the artists, singers, adamantium clawed brigands, painters whacked out of their brains on absinthe or athletes smashing homeruns with their Popeye shaped arms. Alongside these darlings of the press and history there are of course lots of other people, supposed to support, augment or just be around the star. I fall for the 3rd product. I think the quiet bass player in the background is the cool guy in the band. I remember, as a child, when I got hooked something, it was often something none of the other kids bothered with. We all collected Smurfs. These little blue darlings from Belgium came in all shapes, occupations, one age and one gender aside from two characters. Who did I have several of? The black angry ones, who were infected or something. If you prefer DC. Ultraboy was a member of the League of Superheroes, the superhero team from the 31st century. He was by no means a main character, but boy did I think he was cool! His powers? Well, after being swallowed with his ship by some space dwelling creature, he got the exact same powers and strengths as Superboy. So while crushing a huge robot, he could get shot and if he wanted to fly he would use the flying ring the others had, to avoid falling to the ground if he wanted us his x-ray vision which was actually better than Superboys, as it could penetrate led! The other superhero I really like was also quite obscure, at least back when I was young, X-Man Havok! Alex Summers was the younger brother of X-Men leader Cyclops and such a background character that anytime he was actually featured somehow, I would read it over and over. In later years I hear he has become a bit more upfront, and in the X-Men movies he is apparently from the s. Havoks powers were these awesome uncontrollable rings of cosmic power that seemed to radiate all around him, and which he could barely focus, with some devastating effects. He once turned the ground he was standing on into glass. Ah, THE drug of my life. Or… Growing up, part of the time, in Denmark, I gravitated to the Cola they had there, it was called still is Jolly Cola. I first remember drinking a real Pepsi in Paris, Boy I loved it! I think I actually missed that cola drink more than I missed Paris. Well, I got around that by only buying Ceres Top from Aarhus! Who was best, who did YOU like best? Blur or Oasis!?! Well, Blur, obviously. My favorite band, ever since I was 7 years old, was the Rolling Stones. But my favorite left the band in Yes, typical me, I thought Bill Wyman was the coolest of them all. All of this is not to say that I never like the main hero, the singer or the bottle of Westvleteren 12 better than the 8. No, of course not. Just look at my relationship to Hellboy. He is the man, and I would never consider Abe Sapien above him! But, I have had a lot of time to think about these things, and they make me who I am. What is it all about? Do I like being different, am I attracted to the also-rans? Or do I simply want to make things difficult for myself? There are many pilgrimages nerds, geeks, fanboys, hipsters and other people passionate about hobbies can take. There are Comicon for the broader fan of movies, comics and sci-fi, or various Star Trek conventions for those who consider themselves Trekkies or Trekkers. The first kind is fun and a bit random, the last kind, far away and wildly expensive. All days are covered by 2 sessions lasting 4 hours, where each brewery almost to a fault, brought 2 beers. I had what is called a pink ticket, so I could attend all the sessions. Once the ticket had been bought at the price of DKK you could in theory drink as much as you could, and not spend a lot of money. In fact, aside from some Mikkeller souvenirs and a bottle shop, the offering was quite limited not least when the possibility to pay using a card collapsed several times. On offer were hot dogs with various fillings, but no mustard of ketchup, and a counter selling cold salad I likened this venture to offering us antabus as an alternative to beer. The hall was divided, sort of, into a large section where seating areas and serving areas ran in an erratic way to each other, and a side section with Scandinavian craft beer only. Also, All In Brewing from Sweden was there offering some simply amazing beers. This being my first beer festival, of this size, I had started out some weeks ago trying to come up with a plan. And boy, was it ever! I also decided to be a bit careful about not over indulging in the vast amount of heavy ABV Stouts, as I know how much I love them, but also how early they knock me out of the game. Especially the Americans really impressed me here, not least with some wonderful Saison. The day before the festival was my birthday, and I spent a lot of it standing in line to drink beers at Warpigs. Farm Hillstead had a tap-takeover there and I had 9 or 10 really good beers, which not only saved me from having to stand in line for more at the beer festival, but turned me off from standing in the longest lines all together. Did I miss out of 3 Floyds and one or two other things? Yes, but you know, to each their own, I enjoyed my experience my way. All in all this was the wonderful beer experience I had hoped for. Was there anything I was unhappy with? Boisterous louts who got too drunk, and people insulting other people over the way they look. I heard several comments about peoples various looks and got some myself, over my weight. The greatest part was talking to so many wonderful people, tasting gorgeous beers, and actually seeing so many of the Untappd people in real life! Next stop? Well, I hear they are nice people over in Oregon and Colorado? Today I feel a bit like this:. Churchy Beer year 3! I have never tried this before. I want to do it again! We all get along! Always glad to see Aya at a festival. Some people go that extra mile to make sure you get the very last drop of Craft Beer goodness in your glass before you leave! Wonderful beers all the way from Canada. Bit dark, but you get the idea. Highly recommended. Another year, another trip to my local beer festival in Frederikshavn, Northern Jutland. Hanging posters around Oslo Cafe Sara. The Master of Hoppets! Lovely lovely beer. Fur brewery, bringing beery goodness from the shores of the Limfjord. And the tattoo festival? Well, I forgot to go into that hall… again. A journey as old as any story told by man, is the journey for beer. Maybe not, but it sure sounded good in my head. How else to start this blog or article about Stockholm and its beer scene, as experienced by me? The Swedish beer scene: Author says tap into Sweden! Hornsgatan Oliver Twist At first look perhaps not unlike Akkurat. Repslagargatan 6. Wallingatan Monks Porter House A great place for the beer, a wondeful place for the bar. Munkbron Omnipollos Hatt Omnipollo is one heck of a brewery. Nothing wrong with the selection at Mosebacka. Nya Carnegie Bryggeriet A joint venture between Swedish Carlsberg and Brooklyn Brewery, the money comes from the former and the expertise from the latter. Ljusslingan Mikkeller Bar Stockholm Closed I just had to write a line about this bar. And come to Oslo as well! Something else: Systembolaget The Swedish state run liqourshops are more or less all over Stockholm. Kocksgatan Further hunting These are just the bars I happen to like the best or think are more relevant to anyone wanting to go on a craftbeer hunt in Stockholm. I end up liking them. Marvel So, who did young Morten pick as his favorite? Ultraboy and Havoc! My drawing of the Ultraboy logo as I remember it. I was worried about copyrights, so I threw this drawing together. It may not have been the cool kids favorite drink, but to me, this will always make me think of summers in Denmark. I could not be seen drinking that Copenhagen shit! Fockwulf ? No, Mortens favorite is the Gloster Meteor. My drawing of Hellboy with a demonic thirst! Hurray for number 3! I was impressed by the brewers and the volounteers. Danger Will Robinson! Some strong wonderful Stout was had. Watching others enjoy their beers can be equally satisfying. Unlike most of the others, Boneyard brought some souvernirs! The writers impression of himself before and after the festival. But, I also have to paint my house, with the help of my brother… …which worries me, because my shape is like this: All drawings are made by me on the Memopad app this time. Subscribe Subscribed.

Over the years I have interviewed and chatted with many runners in bivouac and after racing who have done just that, they had applied simple logic and worked out what would work for them. Yes, they had taken advice, looked at websites, processed information but importantly they had found out what worked for them. They realized early on that they were an individual and as such, they needed a personal approach to multi-day racing and not a generic one. Not all multi-day races are the same, some are completely self-sufficient, some are semi self-sufficient and others are supported where all you need is transported for you. Must fit and be comfortable when loaded. Have enough room but not too much for all your equipment and provide easy access to fluid. You must also make sure that your race number is visible as per race rules. Think about additional pockets, such as a waist belt for snacks. Lightweight, packs small and warm enough. I would always recommend a sleeping bag and jacket as it offers more flexibility, reduced weight and reduced pack size. Read HERE on how to choose a sleeping bag. You just need what you will run in. However, a spare pair of socks is often commonplace and many runners have one or all of the following: a warm base layer, a lightweight down jacket or waist coat, buff and maybe long lightweight pants. At MDS that is 6. It provides comfort and importantly an insulating layer between you and the ground. Two options exist — inflatable and roll out solid foam. The choice is yours. The inflatable ones offer more comfort, more flexibility in packing but with poor admin, you do run the risk of a puncture. A solid foam Matt will last the week with no risks of problems but they roll large and need to sit outside the pack. If you are going on an adventure, taking part in a multi-day race or basically going on a one night jolly in the wilds somewhere, a sleeping bag is going to be an essential item. Choosing a sleeping bag one would think is easy… Go to a shop, find one that fits into your budget, purchase and use. Need Coaching or a Training Plan? Information HERE. A good sleeping bag is not cheap and going cheap is most certainly not a good idea. So, from the off, accept that you will need to dedicate a good portion of your hard earned cash. One sleeping bag will not work in all situations, however, if one is clever, one can make a sleeping bag adapt to other situations and therefore it is possible to increase the range of use and temperatures that a sleeping bag will work in. Extreme — the lowest temperature at which the average adult woman can survive. This rating comes with caution and additional consideration should be given if you plan to sleep in temperatures this low. Irrespective of what sleeping bag you choose. Layering for me is a key consideration when choosing a sleeping bag and this is one key factor that helps make a sleeping bag stretch over a multitude of uses and temperatures. See the image below. With the above diagram, you suddenly see how one sleeping bag can cover at least 5 temperature ranges and still provide comfort. From a personal perspective, I prefer a sleeping bag that is probably not quite warm enough as stand alone for my chosen environment. The answer to the above is actually part of the process and in some ways, part of the fun of what works for you. Multi-day desert races such as Marathon des Sables, require runners to carry all they need for the duration of the event. Therefore, weight is critical. However, desert temperatures can vary greatly. Some evenings can be mild and even hot. Other nights you can be blasted by wind and sand and the temperature drops to zero or below. If you purchase a sleeping bag that is warm at say zero, it is going to be way too hot at 10 degrees. The sleeping bag will also be heavier and pack larger. By contrast, if you had a sleeping bag that was good for say 5 degrees, not only will it be lighter, pack smaller but importantly it will be more comfortable in warmer temperatures. You then make the bag warmer, should you need by adding layers… hat, T, shorts, longer leggings and then finally jacket. A question is often raised about the need for a jacket? I personally think it is essential — they are perfect in the morning and evening when sitting around and importantly, they are that extra important layer if you get a cold night. From my drawing sample, you would be looking at 1 to 4. Yet most of us are still carrying bags much bulkier and heavier than we need. The principal of the desert applies to the Himalayas. But obviously, one would not use the same sleeping bag. The initial starting point will be a warmer bag that is obviously heavier and larger. Also, down would almost certainly be the choice. The layering would go from 1 to 5. In the evening, depending where you are and how high you are, the temperatures can be That is a huge difference and therefore you need a system that works over a huge range — this can only come from layering! NOTE: Both of the above systems benefit greatly from a good sleeping matt that provides a layer between you and the ground. This is an essential item in my opinion. Not only does it add a barrier, it importantly adds comfort. If you are comfortable, you will sleep better. The more heat you can preserve in a warm layer next to your body, the better. Choosing a sleeping bag is something very personal and we are all individual. You know you! There is a general rule with sleeping bags and down jackets, the more you spend, the better they are. But there are many options out there. Understand that when purchasing a sleeping bag that often it is possible to choose a size, just like when purchasing clothing. A UK based company PHD Peter Hutchinson Designs takes things one step further and can custom make a sleeping bag to your exact specifications and needs. A short zip with draft tube adds about 55gm 2oz : a full zip and tube adds about gm 4oz. Zips also add to the packed size. Sleeping bags are an essential piece of equipment. Choosing the correct one can make or break an adventure. Nobody likes being too cold, especially at night, so keep this in mind and embrace the layering system. Research the race and environment you are racing and check the highest and lowest temperatures. Remember, not two places are the same! Also understand the specifics of your adventure and what bag best suits your needs. To clarify on this, if you are going to the desert and the Himalayas, you will need two sleeping bags as the demands are very different. However, if you are going to the desert and then going back-packing in France in summer, the same sleeping bag will almost certainly work. A sleeping mat is a no brainer when it comes to sleeping. It adds comfort and a barrier between you and the ground. For example, in the Himalayas when the ground is frozen and hard, why would you not put a barrier between you and basically a hard block of ice. Please support this website.

Located just minutes drive from Marrakech approximately miles the National Park and the Toubkal summit has long been an excellent opportunity for those looking for a challenge, either for a specific purpose or as an add-on to an active holiday. As ultra-running, mountain running and the desire to explore new places grows. Morocco and Toubkal is a great place to adventure. Toubkal has two-seasons, Winter and Summer. In winter, summiting the peak brings different challenges as it is completely covered in snow and ice. Winter mountain skills are required and the use of crampons are essential. So, in this article, we look at Toubkal as a summer adventure and in due course, I will follow up with a Winter article. Flights to Marrakech are in abundance and if you plan ahead, you can get very good deals, particularly from some of the budget airlines. If you have not been to Marrakech before, I would say it is essential to soak up the atmosphere of the place by staying in the Medina souk in a typical Riad. I have several favourites. My advice would be, arrive Marrakech and then spend two days sightseeing. Visit the Medina, get lost and haggle for a bargain. There are many other things that one can do, but this is a good starting point. Depending on your budget, you can either get a taxi or a private car to the village of Imlil. This is the starting place for all summit attempts. A taxi will be euro and private car 80 euro. They leave Marrakech after breakfast, looking to arrive Imlil, say for 11am. There are currently three checkpoints that you go through and on each occasion your guide must provide your passport and the details are logged. Imlil to the refuge is designed to introduce you to the terrain and slowly adapt you to the altitude. Depending on experience and adaptation, Imlil to the refuge can take hours. Leaving Imlil, you have a narrow trail that rises quickly to a road and then the village of Aroumd. Here you will meet the first passport control and then you cross a floodplain before starting the climb to the refuge. The terrain is rocky and rough but not dangerous. Chamharouch is the next passport control and here you will see a large white rock that is a Muslim Shrine. Here it is possible to get water, food if required and soft-drinks such as Coke. The path now climbs steeply and gently reaches upwards, once again the terrain is rocky. You will arrive at two disused building that now sell drinks and here is the 3 rd and final passport check. Before you know it, you will arrive at the refuge located at m. Depending on what you have arranged with your guide, you will have a meal at the refuge and then you will stay in a shared dorm with all the other climbers. These dorms are often unisex, so be prepared. You also need to be self-sufficient in terms of sleeping bag, additional clothes and warm layers. The summit day will typically start at with breakfast and the intention will be to start the climb asap. Sunrise is approximately , so, depending on your projected speed, the guide will advise on a departure time so you can climb from m to m. In summer, the trail is very dry and although not a technical climb, Toubkal does have a great deal of loose scree and rocks. With the addition of the demands of altitude, the climb can provide an excellent challenge for someone new to experiences like this. Or, experienced runners and climbers can use it as a form of training. The trail goes straight up often zig-zagging to ease the gradient. Once at the saddle, the trail goes left and right. Here you go left for a final push to the summit. On a clear day, the views are magnificent and if you time it correctly, the sunrise can be truly magical. Importantly, be prepared for the cold. It may be degrees in Marrakech but the summit can be very cold and windy. Most arrive at the summit between and , you spend time soaking the views and taking photos and then return via the path you came. There is another way down, more on that later! Descending becomes easier from an altitude perspective, with every meter you go down, the easier it will become to breathe. However, I think many find the descent harder and more challenging than the climb. This is due to the loose scree and rocky terrain. If experienced, one can drop from the summit to the refuge in minutes. To clarify, there are no exposed ridges or real danger. It will just be a slip and a slide. Once back at the refuge, many take a break for lunch and they will look to descend back to Imlil in the afternoon via the exact same route they went up the previous day. The out and back route is approximately 22 miles. Once back in Imlil, it makes sense to book a local Riad, they are very inexpensive and serve great Tagine. If you are experienced or want a challenge. Imlil-Toubkal-Imlil can be done in one day. I have done this twice now, once in Winter and once in Summer. Most recently August I left Marrakech at I met my guide at We summited at midday and I was back in Imlil before 4pm in the afternoon. I had a car collect me and I was back in Marrakech before 7pm. The above is not for everyone, but for me, it was an ideal opportunity to fit an action packed day between holiday days, before and after in Marrakech. As option two, but from the summit it is possible to take another route down. This is a more challenging descent with some exposure, very loose scree and lots of technical rocks. In terms of distance, it is maybe a little less than the standard up and down route but it does offer more excitement! I took this route down on my first trip to Toubkal. It rejoins the path up to the refuge below Les Mouflons. During the day, shorts and t-shirt is ideal for the climb to the refuge. Shoes should be good trail running shoes with toe protection. Hikers will probably use walking shoes, approach shoes or boots. You will need a pack and in that pack a change of clothes, warm layers, a sleeping bag and the capacity to carry liquid and some snacks. Refuge to the summit and back can be cold and windy. Be prepared with a Primaloft warm layer, gloves, hat and wind proof pants and jacket. It is recommended to have waterproof just in case! I think poles for most people are an essential item. They will considerably help on the climb up and on the descent, they will add a security blanket. August for me is perfect. Marrakech is hot but has less tourists. Expect degrees during the day. Imlil to the refuge, temperatures will be somewhere between 15 degs at and 30 deg in the afternoon. May can still have snow, so, be careful. The refuge at Toubkal is a great place to liaise with in regard to booking. Mountain Guide — A guide will be approximately 80 euro per day and is payable in cash only. The Riad Atlas Prestige is located on the climb out of Imlil. It also very inexpensive at typically 30 euros a night for 2-people. The hotel is on booking. Morocco is safe. I have been travelling in different areas for over 7-years and I have always had a great time with wonderful experiences. Of course, there are cultural differences and as a tourist, it is we that must adapt. But, in Marrakech, there are so many tourists that pretty much anything goes. Taking photographs, one should be careful. The locals really do not like it, and this I know from first hand experience. Unfortunately, in December two girls were murdered between Imlil and Toubkal and this created a stir worldwide and locally. Hence the need for a guide and three passport controls now. I cannot emphasise enough that this incident was a one-off and to clarify, I have been back to Morocco and Imlil twice since this incident and at no point was I worried. An active weekend away or part of a longer trip to Morocco, Imlil and Toubkal is a real adventure and is highly recommended. For example, it would be quite feasible to fly from the UK for example on a Friday and return on Monday having visited Imlil and summited Toubkal over the weekend. For those with more time Imlil is also a great place for a longer stay. There are many trails to explore in the area and the place is a hidden gem. For those combining holiday and adventure, Imlil and Toubkal is a great active outlet amidst a more relaxed time in Marrakech. If you are planning to be in Morocco for longer than 7-days, also consider heading to the coast to visit Essaouira which is a 4-hour drive. Of course, the options are only limited by your imagination and budget — it is also possible to go and stay overnight in the desert and have a bivouac experience. The last time I toed the line with purpose as a runner was in It was at the Lakeland 50 in the UK. I was confident, I was really fit and in April, I had won an ultra in Turkey. Anyway, for much of Lakeland 50 I was near the front, that is until Ambleside and then it all fell apart with constant knee pain. My hopes of a top disappeared and I eventually crossed the line in 36 th place in My target had been to run around In retrospect, I should have been happy. I went away knowing that my knee issue had stopped me performing and it needing addressing. My knee injury was chronic and required two, maybe three operations. I declined all knowing that knee surgery success is hit and miss. So, ever since, I have managed that pain, changed my goals and loved adventures. I still get pain, but I manage it. So, all is good. I am happy to do what I can. I run regularly, daily sometimes and even now, km training runs are a regular. But walking has always been something I have used to keep moving and rather than it being a negative, I always made it a positive. Well, I started running after cycling and triathlon. I have to say, I have never considered myself a good runner. I dropped my marathon PB to which was creditable but in doing so, I lost the true reason for running. I was obsessed by my running. I must clarify, I was previously obsessed by cycling and triathlon and that is why I stopped…! Being a photographer and journalist has allowed me to look at running in many different ways. I mostly follow the elites, but multi-day races, such as Marathon des Sables, allow me to follow runners achieving a life time goal. I must clarify, achieving a life time goal may be a 5km, 10km, half-marathon and so on. I use longer distances as this is the area I usually deal in — ultra. I have learnt since that I normally complete anything I set my mind to in sport and the reason for that is strategy, planning, getting the mind in the right place and yes, embracing walking! So much truth here… For me anyway. As the time has passed from I have worked on races worldwide and all of those races have required me to have a level of fitness. For example, Everest Trail Race, I do pretty much most of the race with cameras — it is the only way. In I have done more multi-day adventures than ever before; regularly moving in a self-sufficient with tent way for over a week. A recent trip to Jotunheimen in Norway lasted 9-days and in Trysil, I completed km in 2-days with an overnight wild camp. So, all is good! Walking is often looked on as a negative. The reality is, if walking is embraced, learned and practiced, finishing times will not only get faster but more enjoyable. For perspective, we now include walking as a key training element at our Lanzarote Training Camp HERE with a specific walking group and one day dedicated to a long walk, for all! If there is not, there should be! Firstly, with my coaching clients I ask them to walk 5km and time it. We then look at technique and discuss how to get faster. Now of course, many variables come in to play — terrain, weather, climbing and descending to name but a few. But let us assume flat terrain, good weather and fast trail. Once we get the walking of 5km in under mins, I then add running. Firstly 1km. So, walk 5km and run 1km. Once that fees comfortable, I add another 1km. Like any plan it is progressive, starting with walk 5 and jog 2. Then walk 5, jog 2, walk 5. Then, walk 5, jog 2, walk 5, jog 2 and so on…. This teaches the mind to break down distance and time in manageable blocks. You can focus on the walking, knowing that a jogging break is coming up. You can endure the jogging, knowing that a walking break is coming up. Suddenly, you are doing a 6-hour marathon with actually only maybe minutes of total running. So, if that pace is maintainable, you could do miles in sub hours and maybe even miles in the desirable sub hours! Here is an example and of course, pace fluctuates based on terrain conditions, but it provides a good perspective. Mathys was let off with a warning as the drug was being taken in the hope of getting pregnant. Both Jornet and Mathys won from the front, surging to the lead on the challenging early uphill. That seemed to bring the best out of the athletes taking to the starting line at the fourth stop of the six-race Series. Mamu received a nine-month ban starting on 19 September after admitting to the findings and co-operating with the IAAF reduced from 2 years. All results of his following 30 July were cancelled. The substance being a medication normally used to assist with Asthma. American runner Jim Walmsley Team Hoka , competing for the first time at Sierre-Zinal, was 3rd in an impressive Kilian Jornet grabbed the lead a few strides into the race and was alone from there on out. The course gains 2, meters from the start in Sierre to the finish line in the idyllic alpine village of Zinal, rolling along before a big downhill finish. Jornet wasted no time letting the competition know he was going for broke. At the Chandolin checkpoint he was ahead of Mamu by two minutes and in hot pursuit of the course record set by Wyatt in I have big respect for the record of Jonathan. He was a leader of the sport so to follow in his footsteps is a great feeling. This is special of all the victories. Jornet set his sights on the 31km Sierre-Zinal race with a dedicated training regimen that he knew was necessary if he was to approach the record of Wyatt. He scaled back his racing schedule this season to focus his training in an attempt to see just how fast he could be. This year, the goal was to give everything and not have to worry about recovering for the next race. And I was six minutes faster than my best time here so it seemed to work. Her time of was five minutes ahead of fellow Swiss Judith Wyder Team Salomon who finished in , and it broke the former course record of by five minutes and six seconds. Wyder was also under the former record by six seconds. Mathys was 3rd at the Dolomyths Sky run in Italy a couple of weeks back, but on Sunday she used her strength in the uphill to put distance between herself and the field in the early going. She was more than three minutes ahead at the Chandolin checkpoint and was never seen again by the rest of the pack. She finished in The elite runners of the Golden Trail World Series are trying to earn points in the season-long chase for a spot in the Grand Final, which will take place in Nepal in October. T he athletes must participate in three of the six races during the series in order to be eligible for the final. The top men and women with the most points in their three best races will earn a trip for themselves and a person of their choice to the Grand Final.

When you break a race down, particularly a self-sufficient race, key things are really important: Pack Must fit and be comfortable when loaded. Sleeping Bag Lightweight, packs small and warm enough. Clothes You just need what you will run in. The reality is, the above is far from the truth. Sleeping bags mainly use two fillings: Down or synthetic such as Primaloft. Down: Is lighter and the weight to warmth ratio is higher. It packs smaller and can be compressed to a very tiny package if required. Down however cannot get wet. If it gets wet it all sticks together and will offer no warmth at all. Down is expensive and one should make sure that if purchasing down that it is ethically sourced. Primaloft: A synthetic product, it is heavier and packs larger than down. The first questions one should ask are: Am I using the sleeping bag in a dry or wet climate? Is the weight of the bag really important. Normally the answer here is, if you are carrying it, yes, the weight is important. Do I need the sleeping bag to pack as small as possible? Do I need the bag to work in one or more situations? Another way of looking at this is, do I need to compromise on points to get value for money. Ask some personal questions: Do I sleep warm? Do I like to be warm and if not warm, am I miserable? Am I prepared to be a little cold to be as light as possible? Do I need a full-length zip, half-zip or am I happy to have no zip? Consider other factors: If you are tall, wide, have big shoulders etcetera, etcetera then some sleeping bags will just not work for you as they will be too small. Layering: Irrespective of what sleeping bag you choose. Sleeping alone. Sleeping bag, T-Shirt and shorts. I know that I can get warm by incorporating layers. How do I know what layers I will need and what about additional weight? Understand that we are all individual, what works for one, does not work for all. Subscribe Subscribed. Sign me up.
