After a long summer of mountain biking I decided it is getting time to get back into some mountain adventures again taking a biking friend out on his first Via Ferrata. Getting up at 5am we drove down to the German Alps
Despite the less than perfect forecast this past weekend was a particularly busy one with loads of diverse activities including: an introduction to open water swimming, enjoying excellent company and great food at the SMC meet at RLH in Langdale, scrambling in the rain on Pavey Ark, and the launch of the new Langdale guidebook. …

The heat still seems to be here! The grass is so dry and yellow. What’s going on? Oh yeah, it’s just a trick really the rain – heavy rain – is due this afternoon…
With all the dry weather we decided we really needed to take advantage and drive up to the Scottish mountains.
