Thermarest NeoAir Venture Sleeping Mat and Salewa Spice Davos Sleeping Bag Review

I’m a massive fan of light weight camping and backpacking.

Climbing Mount Triglav, Slovenia 2864m Part Three

Mount Triglav with a height of 2,863 metres (or 9,395 ft) is the highest mountain in Slovenia and in fact the highest in all of the Julian Alps. It is so famous in Slovenia that it even features on the countries flag! Milan Kučan, a former Slovene president, once said that every Slovenian person to climb Triglav at least once in their life.
