The Shawangunks, or just plain “Gunks” to us climbers, have been on my list of places to go and visit for many years. And so, when Laetitia asked back in March, “Where would you like to go in the autumn for some rock climbing action to get away from typical Lakeland wetness?”, it took me …
Recently we had solar panels installed by Solarfast, and I have to say they are pretty darn good! I was sceptical about the true value of the investment beforehand … can it really pay for itself? But in the end we went for it based on the hope of trying to “do our bit” for …
Our summer jollies to the Alps this year had mixed results…
We’ve been looking forward to and fearing our trip to Pabbay, a remote and uninhabited tiny island off Scotland in the Bishop Isles, in varyingly different amounts for some time…

After the Black Forest we swung by Chamonix hoping for a little more snow. Alas, while there was more snow thanks to the higher altitude it wasn’t that great. Especially considering the €54 each lift pass pricing. You might have thought that with such poor conditions they’d have had an offer on?
