Everest and K2 Pictures for sale at Mainpeak!
June 18th, 2011 by admin
Hi there,
Finally I have been able to organise the sale via the www.mainpeak.com.au website of my Everest summit shadow and K2 base camp pictures.
The Everest shadow picture was taken by me on June 5, 2007 just after sunrise on a windy but clear morning at around 5am. The shadow stretches into the distance an estimated 200km and seems to attract an awe in the crowd when I show it at presentations.
The K2 picture is one which I took at the base camp one morning on our almost 3 month expedition on the peak. It shows a lenticular cloud over the summit of K2 and was taken at about 6.30am sometimes in July 2008. Please follow the link at http://www.mainpeak.com.au/news/91.html
Expect this ecoseekers site to change with more photos and will also have some for sale. Also expect some updates on some up and coming plans which should be exciting.
Hope you like the photos and thanks for following and by for now!
Mark

Kilimanjaro and Southern Africa
May 19th, 2011 by admin
Hi there!
Once again sorry for the lack of communications-you must know be by now. Anyhow the last 7 weeks have been an interesting combination of some incredible highs mostly and a few lows-but overall a positive high for seeing all that I have seen in the short 7 weeks or so in Southern Africa. For more info on the Kilimanjaro climb please go to www.mainpeak.com.au and click into blogs and you will find my dispatch about this…suffice to say the trek on Kilimanajaro was a very good walk and the summit day was cold and windy but it was a beatiful mountain and I commend people see and climb Kilimanjaro and see its impressive flanks. After this I went back to Tanzaniteminesite who helped out with some support of the climb and for which I am very greatful for their kindness, beer and indeed patience overall. I visited Zanzibar, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti. All the places left me breathless with the natural beauty, flora and especially the fourna which I am just in awe. I also visited Nairobi and walked the streets, and then finally made it to Vicoria falls and ws once again amazed by the huge waterfall. I had Lions and Cheetahs lick my arm and even take a pat and cuddle which was one of the most deep nature feelings I’ve been able to have…the cheetahs especially I felt were my friends after only an hour and I was sad to leave…but then onto another amazing place-Namibia. I was stunned by the landscape, such as the desert dunes rolling into the sea-at one place literally. Also the large game which seems to be everywhere (not forgetting everything else which is just as important in nature). There was and is much to talk about here but onto Cape town and the pretty city. Table mountain, lions head, the city itself and its tours….the people…the cape of good hope, wineries and a highlight (well everything was) of cage diving with white pointer sharks 4 miles out to see-how can one describe! A visit to Cape towns waterfront and a ferry to Robben island where many prisoners (the most famous being Nelson Mandela) really brought home humility and made me think just how lucky we are and also how some people are so inspirational-I really really mean this and sometimes I think we need this from time to time…I certainly do. And then after this I went along the garden route to Port Elizabeth with its beaches and mountainous coastline…also was great to see my mate Raymonds cousin Ryan, despite being only a night but what excellento hospitallity at the end! Now Im just passing through Dubai for a few days and will be back before I know it. I hope to organise some sort of imformation session an or presentation about these events and amazing places especially of the short time I had in Eastern and Southern Africa…..perhaps at Mainpeak-will keep you posted….cheers Mark

Kilimanjaro Climb
March 4th, 2011 by admin
Dear followers, I am sorry for the lack of Blogs both on this website and my supporters-mainpeak.com.au
Anyhow, over the last few months I have done some good hikes in the South West along with a few good beach 4wd particularly near Walpole and some of the excellent and remote beaches there. Recently I have been organising a climb of Kilimanjaro which will be supported by a mining company near the mountain itself and an associated company in Perth along with Mainpeak.
I will provide more details of this in the next week once I have accurate details and will once again blog the trip on Mainpeaks website and hopefully mine. People may note that I do occasionally write on 4wd4life.com.au These are short but I just try to expose some information on some of the many places that I like to explore with my car and then usually talk about the on foot things on the mainpeak.com.au website. So please follow shortly! Thanks Mark

September 29th, 2010 by admin
Had a quick trip to the Stirling Ranges and up Mt Trio last week and had to get back to Perth the same day. The views with yellow Canola fields mixed with green crops always looks interesting. The flowers are starting to come out which should be truely spectacular in mid October.

Back to training
September 8th, 2010 by admin
After a few months of some basic trekking and sightseeing in my beloved Western Australia, I am starting to get in the mood for some more serious adventure so I have begun some more structured training so I can be ready for another adventurous objective.
The details of this will be following soon. Also this website WILL be updated shortly and should include some more details of past and future plans and I am looking to provide a reasonable source of information about these on this site-something I have intended for along time.
Please follow shortly.
