My name is Allan Witton, I am a retired Physics teacher and I have been a keen mountain walker for all my adult life. I have been trekking in Britain and abroad for over 40 years, first with the school where I taught for 3 decades (The Manchester Grammar School) and more recently with friends and family. When I retired from teaching in 2007 I planned to make a digital archive of the records I have of the treks I was involved in. The purpose of this website is to make that archive more widely available. I have arranged my records of the treks I have been on into two groups.

Old Trekkers’ Treks (OTT) This website has accounts of the Treks I have organised with friends and family between 2006 (Stubai Alps) and 2019 (Vanoise – Val d’Isère). Our planned Trek in the Dachstein in July 2020 had to be cancelled, but if we all remain fit enough we plan to do it in 2021.

Manchester Grammar School Foreign Treks This archive will include accounts of just the Foreign Treks I went on, from my first in the Dolomites in 1980 to my last in the Maritime Alps in 2005. It will also include some other archive material I have relating to Trekking at MGS. This material is be included in a separate website which can be found here.

Work on the format of the site and adding content will continue. The slide show below illustrates just a few of the many highlights over the years. More will be added in due course.

SMALL PRINT I would like to record my thanks to my daughter, Anne Witton, for her invaluable help with the design and implementation of this website. The large majority of the images in this website and in the Trek Logs were taken by me, but thanks to others in the various parties for permission to use theirs too: they are achknowledged in the individual logs. All the images used as title images and in the slide shows are taken from the Logs, where their locations are given. The site is best viewed on a computer (rather than a phone) and for reasons of page layout and definition of the low resolution images used, a pane (window) width the same as an A4 sheet is optimum. The location of site navigation menu depends on the pane size; for large size it may be at the top and right hand side, for smaller size it is at the bottom or accessible by clicking on the 3 bar symbol above the title image.
