Climbing – rock, ice, mountains, boulders, etc.

Last Sunday I was up early to meet Joe and his large group of 14 people in Glenridding for a day looking at winter skills, ice axe arrest, and a wintry scramble up Swirral Edge to the summit of Helvellyn. The forecast wasn’t great, but it could have been worse, and in the end it …
Last week we were rock climbing and visiting friends in the south half of Germany’s Black Forest, Schwarzwald Süd…
Lundy is undoubtedly one of Britain’s most lovely destinations. It has so much to offer everyone in so many different ways!
