There's a letterbox out there somewhere...

Charmer’s Grave

Saturday, 18th August 2012

Despite the BBC’s promise that Saturday’s weather would be “dry for most” we woke to this summer’s usual situation, torrential rain! However, a day indoors wasn’t appealing so we decided to embark on a mountain-day with loads of different activities and objectives

Side Walk

Monday, 13th August 2012

Laetitia’s parents were visiting at the weekend and somehow I managed to get a day-pass to go out climbing with Paul! (I think Laetitia had taken pity on me after having managed so little quality climbing this year due to the awful rainy weather we’ve been having all summer.) We chose Dow Crag, and Paul …

Soaked!

Tuesday, 7th August 2012

The miserable wet summer weather continues, but with optimism and hope winning the battle over wisdom Richard and I headed out to Gouther Crag in Swindale at the weekend.

My first day of Mountain Rescue team training…

Sunday, 29th July 2012

Today was my first full day of training with the Kendal Mountain Rescue Team.

Saunders Mountain Marathon 2012

Monday, 9th July 2012

Friday of the Saunders MM dawned with gloom; it was horrendously wet and I was feeling pretty rough.

Luckily, from …

Wednesday, 20th June 2012

At this time of year, when the weather is nice, the evenings after work are a great time to get out for some bonus play-time!

Just one more venue…

Sunday, 17th June 2012

Here’s one more work venue. (I said they might be back. 😉 ) Hopefully you agree that the picture above is quite a nice shot of this town hall clock tower. But, as is usual with my series of work-venue posts, where is it (without cheating and using the mapping below)? There was quite an …

Openwater swimming at Dosthill Quarry

Saturday, 16th June 2012

Swimming at the Bosworth Trust Water Park over the past month has been great, but I was eager to swim somewhere with clearer water and fewer ducks (and duck smells)! So, this morning I tested out the very convenient Dosthill Quarry, just on the outskirts of Tamworth. The quarry is a diving venue (http://www.divedozzi.com/), but …
