Mountains

July is the height of the climbing season in the Cordillera Blanca mountains in Peru. David had planned to try and climb in the mountains in July with a combined trip of 5 day trek then the ascent of 6000m peak then finally an attempt at the biggest mountain in Peru, Huascaran,  at 6800m. The trek and first climb were successfully completed but the climb of Huascaran was not due to David's returning to the UK for the funeral of his Father.

Details of the expedition can be found at the following link - Cordillera Blanca

Brazil  
Cathy decided to go to Brazil with her friend Rosa whilst the David was away in the mountains to visit the Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janiero.
