Dovedale Rock and Cake

Sunday, 1st April 2012

We met up with Paul to try out some of the routes from his Dovedale post. Although the weather, typically after having been gloriously sunny all of the working week, was a little grey and quite chilly.

Another week, another Venue…

Friday, 30th March 2012

This week’s weird-work-venue is this silver face. But where am I this time?

Sea kayaking at Abel Tasman National Park

Thursday, 29th March 2012

Paddling towards the arch at Abel Tasman Point.

A lovely day on the water... ...with sting rays!

45 river crossings before 11.30 am

Tuesday, 27th March 2012

A day and a half tramping the Inland Pack Track in Paparoa National Park. Most of it spent standing in a cold river...

Ascent of Mount Fox

Tuesday, 27th March 2012

First glimpse of the glacier through the cloud.

Making the best of a wet day: 1040 metres of climb in a little over 2km!

Sunshine on Pot Scar

Sunday, 25th March 2012

It was still sunny on Sunday, and even warmer, and we realised we hadn’t had tea and cake for ages and ages and ages, so I decided a crag very close to a cafe was required…. Pot Scar just above Feizor.

Sunshine on Gimmer

Sunday, 25th March 2012

As Haskett Smith recorded in 1894 in his Climbing in the British Isles, “… There are times even in the Lake District when the rain ceases and the sun shines, and it is then that the climber should gambol upon this crag.”
