We’ve spent a number of years biking and hiking in the world’s highest mountain ranges. We do it for enjoyment, for the challenge and to meet new people and experience different cultures. During this time we’ve set up 2 websites: Andes by Bike to assist bikers with route information, and this Pikes on Bikes site to document our travels. If you have found either of them useful (or have simply enjoyed following our trips) and are looking to buy some outdoor kit online, please consider clicking through from the link below to Cotswold Outdoor’s online shop. Your purchases won’t cost you anything extra, and we’ll be rewarded with 6% commission on any purchases you make.

Over the past few years, in between trips, Harriet has worked at Cotswold Outdoor’s flagship store in Covent Garden. They provide their staff with better training and perks than many other outdoor stores and so in return the staff are often more knowledgeable and experienced than other outdoor shop workers. If you’re thinking of clicking through from our site to buy some kit at Cotswold, please feel free to email Harriet first with any gear-related questions – she’ll be happy to use her work and outdoor experience to try and help!
