Buttermere Shepherds Meet Race

Sunday, 27th October 2013

This weekend was scheduled to be the Buttermere Shepherds Meet and Show. Disappointingly, due to an over zealous poor forecast which was wildly inaccurate, the show was cancelled

Hmmmmm, Sachertorte…

Sunday, 27th October 2013

Our lovely friend Dalma sent us a postcard from Vienna with a recipe for Sachertorte. I simply had to make it, but we decided that we’d have to expend a few calories before we could eat it.

Hunstanton

Sunday, 13th October 2013

North-west Norfolk is just a 90 minute drive from Rutland so on Saturday we visited the Norfolk coastline. We drove to Hunstanton and then got the local bus to Thornham and walked back along the beach. The beach was empty, except for the large numbers of birdwatchers. We asked one of them what they were …

Monday, 30th September 2013

Two days of running in glorious sunshine in the Lakes...

Four Lakeland Passes

Monday, 30th September 2013

Via Ferrata Hindelang (AllgÃ¤u)

Monday, 16th September 2013

After a long summer of mountain biking I decided it is getting time to get back into some mountain adventures again taking a biking friend out on his first Via Ferrata. Getting up at 5am we drove down to the German Alps

The Ponton Plod

Sunday, 15th September 2013

Richard and I decided that we needed a bit of exercise, so I entered us for the Ponton Plod. I chose this event because it starts a few miles from where we’ll (hopefully) be living soon and I thought it would be a good way to get to know more of the area. Given that …

Coniston, RLH, and the New Langdale Guidebook

Monday, 9th September 2013

Despite the less than perfect forecast this past weekend was a particularly busy one with loads of diverse activities including: an introduction to open water swimming, enjoying excellent company and great food at the SMC meet at RLH in Langdale, scrambling in the rain on Pavey Ark, and the launch of the new Langdale guidebook. …
