Great North Swim

Sunday, 15th June 2014

Last year I started open water swimming and I had the crazy idea to enter the Great North Swim.

Scottish Canoeing – Balquhidder

Tuesday, 10th June 2014

We’ve been looking forward to the multi-day canoeing trip in Scotland with our friends Paul and Lisa for ages. We’d planned the trip back in February and this past weekend we finally set off on our new adventure.

Great Close Scar

Monday, 9th June 2014

Last weekend we went across to Yorkshire to sample more rock climbing on the lovely limestone crags. We’d chosen Great Close Scar right next to Malham Tarn.

The First Cuckoo of Spring (oh, and Quayfoot Buttress)

Thursday, 29th May 2014

We had plans to get several household chores, gardening, and decorating jobs done over the bank holiday weekend. This seemed like a perfect plan as the weather forecast was less than hopefully.

Gimme even more Sunshine

Wednesday, 21st May 2014

Lower Falcon Crag

Friday, 16th May 2014

Wednesday was the first of this summer’s CC evening climbing meets in the Lakes. Thankfully the weather was perfect – sunny, warm, and of course dry. Hooray! Strangely with such lovely conditions only a select gang bothered to turn up. I wonder if it was the choice of venue? Lower Falcon Crag in Borrowdale is …

North Face Trail & Bluebells

Monday, 12th May 2014

Sneaking a couple of hours of mountain biking between the showers in Grisedale Forest on the North Face Mountain Bike Trail…

Spring Snow – Vallee Blanche Again

Monday, 5th May 2014

Monday was amazing as well. More wall to wall sunshine, so this time we did jump on the lift up to the Aiguille du Midi (not the first lift I hasten to add).
