West Pennine Moors Mountain Biking

Friday, 21st March 2014

Who would believe that just a few miles outside the industrial complexes of Blackburn and Burnley one could be up in the relative remoteness of the West Pennine Moors?

Yorkshire Dales Mountain Biking

Monday, 17th March 2014

We enjoyed our rideout in the Yorkshire Dales so much a few weeks ago that we chose that venue again on Sunday.

Shoulder-iffic Gritstone

Sunday, 9th March 2014

Ullscarf

Sunday, 10th November 2013

What a lovely sunny late autumn day today was: clear, super sunny, and calm – a dingle day! It would have been a fantastic day for rock climbing on a warm south facing crag. I hope others took advantage?

Buttermere Shepherds Meet Race

Sunday, 27th October 2013

This weekend was scheduled to be the Buttermere Shepherds Meet and Show. Disappointingly, due to an over zealous poor forecast which was wildly inaccurate, the show was cancelled
