In the footsteps of the Bedouin

Thursday, 29th November 2012

Wadi Rum is an extraordinary place…

In search of snow…

Saturday, 3rd November 2012

I’ve been crazily busy the past few weeks, so I had intended having a lazyish day and catching up on everything as well as getting ready for my holiday, but on Friday driving to work in the morning I caught a glimpse of the mountains in the distance dusted with snow.

The best days are never planned

Sunday, 30th September 2012

The weather forecast wasn’t great but I decided to go ahead with my planned trip to the Lakes with the most hardy of my friends, the others having bailed out.

We did a bit of climbing

Tuesday, 14th August 2012

I got invited on another climbing trip to the Dolomites by my friends Neil and Elizabeth and I can never resist being invited on climbing trips, especially when the lure of Italian food, mountains and the great company of Neil, Elizabeth and Friends is involved, and I even repaid the favour, by tempting my friend …

Sunday Afternoon Jolly

Monday, 30th April 2012

The weather forecast for Sunday was looking fantastic for a day out in the hills, so despite my slightly weak ankle it was just too much temptation to get out for a run.

Wasdale Head Inn – Long Way Round

Tuesday, 20th March 2012

My friend Keri invited me to the Lakes for the weekend and mentioned something about a bit of running, staying in a nice B & B in Wasdale, (one of my favourite places) and going to the pub, what could be better and more relaxing…

The one that got away….

Monday, 30th January 2012

My friends Amy and Will headed up to join me in Scotland this weekend with the intention of going winter climbing, with the rare combination of good conditions and a reasonable weather forecast we hoped to tick a **** classic route.
