Dollywaggon Pike Ski Tour

Sunday, 12th January 2025

Before the weather warms up (and rains) on Monday, Laetitia and I grabbed one more ski adventure on our local hills…

English Skiing

Thursday, 9th January 2025

Who’d have thought skiing in England could be worthwhile?

Barnard Castle Cycling

Sunday, 22nd January 2023

We needed to get our eyes tested so we headed off to Barnard Castle with Andy & Astrid Saxby and Nigel & Kath Hooker. It turned out that we could all see fine! Surprising really, considering how utterly bloody freezing it was on the bikes, how knackered our un-used to hiking legs were from a …

A wet day in Lakeland exploring slate quarries and ‘shrooming

Ease Gill & Dave’s Birthday at Greenclose

Monday, 20th August 2018

On Saturday Pete and I had a fantastic trip (with Dave, Toby, Matt, and Tony) underground to help celebrate Dave’s Birthday. The trip was through the Ease Gill system from County Pot to Lancaster Hole.

When the weather is as good as this the Lakes are unbeatable! Three super sunny days on a bank holiday weekend – brilliant. But for once we didn’t give every day over to rock climbing. Instead we made a plan that had each day dedicated to a different outdoor pursuit…

A little bumble in Langdale

Sunday, 25th March 2018

Pete was working today, teaching micro navigation, so Zac and I went for a bumble.

Winter Skills on Helvellyn

Tuesday, 13th February 2018

Last Sunday I was up early to meet Joe and his large group of 14 people in Glenridding for a day looking at winter skills, ice axe arrest, and a wintry scramble up Swirral Edge to the summit of Helvellyn. The forecast wasn’t great, but it could have been worse, and in the end it …
