Andy Jardine's amazing photos of his trek with us to Jordan:
"What an amazing adventure, thank you so much for making all this possible and thank you to all the ground crew and team members who made it happen. The trekking was harder and hotter than I expected, but all the better for it. Each day was different and magical in it’s own way with Petra as the grand finale. Great hotels, increasing in luxury really made the end of the trip restful. The biggest luxury however, was enjoying the company of my fellow trekkers, Yusef and his crew, and the people we met along the way. Truly an awesome trip that I will never forget."

First mini blog in from our Jordan Expedition.

Our adventure into Jordan has begun with a burst of history at Kerak castle and the mountain where Moses first saw the holy land on our way to the deep desert trek that started Monday.

Our first day on the track took us swiftly down into the shade of Wadi Nakhil (palm valley) where we followed the luscious green spring-fed winding path. After tasting the fresh spring waters and bathing our feet, we followed the stream out and ascend from the valley to the evening camp and the hospitality of the Bedouin. Stories, an open fire and fresh sweet smoky tea took us into the night.

Waking with the sun and preparing our packs again, we set off for the long open valley walk through old copper mines and Bedouin goat grazing areas. A hot trekking day blessed with spectacular views over the valley and dunes, where Palestine sits in the distance.

Tonight our camp sits up high in the valley with great views and a fresh breeze.

Tomorrow will see us climb out of the valley to 850m giving us views of the limestone rock that forms the mountains to the East.

Even today with modern manufacturing standards we know how important good reliable gear is in extreme conditions. This fascinating exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) looks at the unprecedented innovation involved in equipping the 1953 Everest assaults. Well worth a visit if you're in London.
