Impressed by extreme skiers tackling some of Alaska’s snowy peaks: “It must take a great deal of stamina to go the course.” Jay Pullani Returning Down Under: “I always love to visit Australia every few years. It’s a very special place to me.” @Natashaballetta Having a top time in South Africa: “Table Mountain in Cape Town has just been added to my list of all-time favourites.” @hevybackpack Surprised by Britain’s rich birdlife: “I had no idea we get snowy owls in the UK – I need to get myself to the Highlands for some owl spotting.” Alexandra Hewison Monkeying around in Gibraltar: “One of the barbary macaques climbed on me and started opening my backpack!” @frede_lemieux Admiring Ranulph Fiennes’ grit: “He’s a remarkable man. I’ve read most of his books and his one-man show is well worth seeing.” Brian Lewis Starting the year right: “Writing my 2018 bucket list – I like the sound of Russia and Mexico.” @UCANRINGMYBELL Encouraging people to stay longer in Argentina’s Salta: “Stay for a few days. You can head to the desert and remote places such as San Antonio de los Cobres.” Ronan Maenardo
