I can hardly believe that yesterday was dry, sunny even! But it was cold and windy so instead of a trip to the indoor climbing wall on such a nice day we decided our fitness levels were in need of some attention.
We spent the week after Christmas in Hawes, North Yorkshire with Tony and Catherine, our friends who are both runners and orienteers. Day 1 The holiday started with a 7.5 mile walk into Widdale from our cottage in Hawes. After a short time on footpaths we were beating our way through moorland tussocks to get …
Richard had deadlines to meet this weekend, so I’ve been out and about enjoying the chilly weather! On Saturday I cycled with the Tamworth Road and Mountain Cycle Club from Fazeley. Incredibly, within 15 minutes of cycling, we rode along some roads that were completely new to me. Thankfully it was a steady ride and …
We went to see friends in Newport, Shropshire yesterday. Richard deviated the journey to pick up his new car in Stoke, so I took the opportunity to cycle to Shropshire. The 43 mile journey wasn’t quite as quick as I’d hoped, partly because I went the wrong way, but mostly because there was a head …

Finally this year after …
What else can you do on a cold, damp miserable Friday? Too cold to climb, too miserable to walk.
Last weeks mountain biking trail, in a new area of the Lakes for us, was great fun! It’s easy to simply fall out of the front door of the house, on to the bike, whizz up and down one of the many fantastic trails in Kentmere, get home, shower, and enjoy tea & cake or …
On Sunday we found a new mountain biking circuit on the far side of Lake Windermere.
