t’s been an action-packed year here at
Trek & Mountain,
and in our efforts to
bring you the best and most exciting
stories and features from around the
world, we’ve travelled from our base in the
Alps to the Himalayas and the Appalachians,
from the Dolomites to the Cairngorms, and
enjoyed every minute of it!
As well as reliving some of the best
moments of the year just gone, the Xmas
holidays are also a time for looking ahead
and making plans for the year to come. For
Trek & Mountain,
2017 is set to be an exciting
year – firstly from January we will be
producing a bigger and better-than-ever
magazine, and in that issue (out in early
January) there will be some even more
exciting news – so don’t forget to pick up
your copy! In the meantime, wherever you
are, enjoy your Xmas holidays and we’ll see
you in the mountains in 2017!
