Saunders Mountain Marathon 2012

Monday, 9th July 2012

Friday of the Saunders MM dawned with gloom; it was horrendously wet and I was feeling pretty rough. This was unfortunate because I had a mountain marathon to run and I was running with Mark, who is mid-way through his (self-imposed) challenge to run 12 marathons in 12 months for The Meningitis Trust.

This year was no …

The weather might have been dreadful, but there was no stopping the Olympic Torch relay and the awesome Olympic celebrations in Bowness this evening!

Having spent the first ten years of their respective climbing careers in Ogwen, you would have thought that Terry and Bernie would have already climbed everything they could.

Summer Evenings

Wednesday, 20th June 2012

At this time of year, when the weather is nice, the evenings after work are a great time to get out for some bonus play-time!

Just one more venue…

Sunday, 17th June 2012

Here’s one more work venue. (I said they might be back. 😉 ) Hopefully you agree that the picture above is quite a nice shot of this town hall clock tower. But, as is usual with my series of work-venue posts, where is it (without cheating and using the mapping below)? There was quite an …
