The Wild Blue of Sardinia

Wednesday, 19th April 2017

A fantastic trail run through the limestone coast of Sardinia.

Cycling … Carbon Fibre versus Steel

Friday, 14th April 2017

Twenty-five years after I gave up competitive cycling. This year I went and bought a new road bike! What was I thinking? Have I some how forgotten the endless hours of pain and loneliness out on the road? Or the misery of riding in the rain? Or maybe I’ve simply gotten caught up in the …

l’Etape du Tour Training Finally Starts…

Monday, 27th March 2017

Well, the l’Etape du Tour training started in earnest today… I’m too not sure how to feel about my performance, but I guess it was the first time out on my bike for over a year so I shouldn’t feel too bad. I managed just over 37k, but was I totally knackered on the climbs! …

A Cheeky Weekend in Chamonix

Monday, 27th March 2017

For no other good reason than, we could, we joined a few of Laetitia’s mates in Chamonix for a cheeky weekend of skiing before winter gives way to spring … one last blast of ski fun before rock climbing takes over our lives again!

Ghost River Wilderness

Monday, 20th March 2017

We made two and a half trips in to the Ghost River Wilderness area… Rob and Pete made the first trip in to the South Ghost to visit Wicked Wanda. Although we ran away from the top section fearing that some of the wet and poorly formed 10 metre long hanging daggers of ice might …

Parties & Rest Days

Monday, 20th March 2017

Laetitia took a few more rest days than normal as part of her recovery. She did enjoy a very indulgent salmon and cream cheese bagel on one of her rest days – although she made up for the calories by then going to the excellent Canmore swimming pool at the Elevation Place! Sorry no pictures, …

Lake Louise

Monday, 20th March 2017

We made two visits to Lake Louise Falls! (Well actually it was three! On the first trip to Lake Louise we had arrived at the car parking when Laetitia realised she’d left her boots back in Canmore. So we drove home and back again!) Laetitia and Pete made the first visit on the second day …

Field – Carlsberg Column & Circus Circus

Monday, 20th March 2017

We had a couple of days in the Field area despite the high avalanche danger! We’d heard that Circus Circus, a rarely formed classic route, was in good condition. Then, after the Park Service had done some avalanche control on Mount Denis, we stole a day on Carlsberg Column…

Johnston Canyon

Monday, 20th March 2017

We also visited another easily accessed and close by (to Canmore) venue, Johnston Canyon… Pete Frost dropped his crampons on the walk out – so if anyone finds them you know where to get in touch … comments below! 😉
