28 members of Tyndall mountain club took part in our recent trip to La Gomera, and Tenerife. February 2022
We spent 7 nights on La Gomera, and 2 nights back in Tenerife. We did our own guided walks, the leaders made up from within our group. Martin Brett and Cyril Moriarty, our two main leaders, were on La Gomera a few days before the main group and had checked out routes in advance of our arrival.
Other highlights were our walk through the spectacular rainforest which covers the centre of the Island, up to the highest point on the Island Graahanroy, also our walk up to the Mirador de Abrante, although the restaurant was closed the group could go out onto the glass bottom
for some spectacular views across to Tenerife and La Palma. John Hughes did a marathon 30.0km solo trek taking in all the high villages around Valle Gran Rey. Cyril took a group from Val Gran Rey all the way up to Las Hayas and then onto Arure a good 13km trek.
We travelled back on ferry to Tenerife, and on our second last day went up to the base of Tiede and walked back the 18k to Villaflor, again a lovely walk in glorious sunshine and a great trek to end our holiday.
