every effort is made to ensure the advice
and information printed in this publication
is accurate, the publishers cannot be held
liable for any damage of any nature arising
from the information printed or by the
activities undertaken by readers.
t’s been a busy few weeks for Team Trek &
Mountain, and you can read about some
of the adventures we’ve been up to in this
issue. The big news this month is that our
team of readers succeeded on Stok Kangri,
despite unusually wintry conditions on the
peak (see page 8) – you can read the full
story of the expedition in next month’s issue.
On page 56 Amanda Travis writes about our
recent visit to the Balkans, where we hiked in
Bosnia and Croatia – countries that are sure
to become popular walking destinations in
the coming years, particularly with the
creation of the Via Dinarica long-distance
trail. Elsewhere, Alun Richardson has been
testing Fjällräven’s new Keb Eco-Shell jacket
while leading an expedition in Greenland
(p78), and I’ve been doing my bit for the
environment near our base in Chamonix
during a litter clean-up on the Mer de Glace
glacier (p10). There’s loads more besides of
course, so turn the page and enjoy the issue!
