A cheeky little break in Chamonix

Monday, 14th July 2014

We grabbed a cheeky few days in Chamonix hoping for some great climbing adventures, but the weather was against us and it was very cold.

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.

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).

Spring Rock – Another Bravo Lapp

Monday, 5th May 2014

Sunday arrived as perfect as forecasted – wall to wall sunshine. But instead of jumping on the first lift up to the Aiguille du Midi to bag a rock route, we decided to let the sun do it’s stuff and hopefully melt any snowy ledges while we hopped over the border to Switzerland.

A short break to Devonshire

Sunday, 13th April 2014

We took the week off work, but we didn’t really have any plans. We thought we’d just take it as it comes.

Staveley Beer Festival

Sunday, 16th March 2014

One great benefit of living in Staveley is that when the Beer Festival comes to town we don’t have to drive anywhere.

Climbers’ Club AGM & Party Weekend

Tuesday, 4th March 2014

In my humble opinion last year’s CC AGM was a fantastic success. For me there are a lot of boxes to “tick” when deciding where to have the AGM. A location that offers: outdoor activities for all weathers and all pursuits; a quality indoor climbing wall that will join in the fun; an AGM and …

Strasbourg, Fontainebleau, and traveling home…

Sunday, 5th January 2014

Our holiday was coming to an end and we had to start thinking about driving home.
