We were shocked to hear of the recent deaths of 16 Nepalese guides, caught in an avalanche as they carried loads through the Khumbu Icefall above Everest Basecamp. We work closely with many Nepalese guides and Sherpas and realise that many have lost relatives and close friends; we offer them our deepest condolences.

2015 dates are now available online for many of our popular holidays, with more being added every day. Book now for the Inca Trail in 2015 to secure that all important permit or why not take the alternative trail to Machu Picchu via Choquequirao

There are lots of good reasons why we chose this one-week Icelandic trek to be our Holiday of the Month...   and here are just a few of them:

1. Crossing the Fjallabak wilderness, the 'Laugavegur' trek is one of Europe's great walks.
2. This is a real trek with 5 nights camping and 90 kilometres of walking over 5 days.
3. Experience a wild volcanic landscape - ice caps, crater lakes, lava flows &  hot springs
4. Low-cost flights from as little as £150 (ICT.5) make Iceland more affordable than before. 
5. Iceland is a special place, a world apart. You can discover its 'difference' on the Land of Extremes trek.

"You're going where? And you're taking the kids?" That was the reaction when Pete Coombs told friends he was taking his whole family to Jordan for the autumn half term. But, far from being a case for social services, the experience turned out to be a cultural and educational revelation for all concerned...

BBC2 Scotland followed KE photographer Colin Prior as he trekked into the Karakoram in search of unforgettable mountain images. The program goes out on 11th May at 8pm and can also be viewed on Sky 970 and Freesat 970, or catch it on iPlayer.

As keen road cyclists, we are fortunate to live in the Lake District, with its fantastic scenery and brilliant choice of rides... short and long. One of the longest is coming up this weekend in the form of the Fred Whitton Challenge, a gruelling 112 mile 'sportive' that includes the climbs of Kirkstone, Honistor, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott and Wrynose! KE biking team, Tim, Kit and Jo have signed up for this and are probably now regretting it! Recent training abroad may help them, however. Tim recently rode our Cheeky Cols of the Costa Blanca. Kit checked out some of our Vuelta de Mallorca ride and Jo led a group on the Road Cycle Tour of Toubkal in Morocco.  Good luck on the 'Fred' guys!
