Rab Mountain Marathon 2013

Monday, 30th September 2013

Two days of running in glorious sunshine in the Lakes...

Four Lakeland Passes

Monday, 30th September 2013

This weekend was the Rab MM. I decided that I didn’t fancy chasing Richard around the fells, so I opted for an LDWA event called the Four Lakeland Passes. The route started from Borrowdale and went over Styhead Pass, Black Sail Pass, Scarth Gap Pass and Honister Pass visiting Borrowdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale and Buttermere. It …

Via Ferrata Hindelang (AllgÃ¤u)

Monday, 16th September 2013

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

The Ponton Plod

Sunday, 15th September 2013

Richard and I decided that we needed a bit of exercise, so I entered us for the Ponton Plod. I chose this event because it starts a few miles from where we’ll (hopefully) be living soon and I thought it would be a good way to get to know more of the area. Given that …

Coniston, RLH, and the New Langdale Guidebook

Monday, 9th September 2013

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. …

Girls Weekend Out:
“Sport” Climbing at Frankenjura

Sunday, 8th September 2013

For our summer girls weekend out we originally planned to do a nice climbing and mountaineering weekend to the LÃ¤mmeren hut starting from Kandersteg (CH).

A Trip to the Isle of Man

Friday, 6th September 2013

A couple of weeks ago we visited my sister and her family in the Isle of Man. It’s lovely visiting the Isle of Man because it feels like you go back in time. It’s very quiet and very relaxed. But not content to go back just a decade or so, the Isle of Man held …

Cheserys … again!

Monday, 2nd September 2013

After yesterday’s adventures on the BrÃ©vent today was Laetitia’s choice of venue (of course this had nothing to do with my arms and fingers being knackered). Initially we thought we’d head up to another multi-pitch route in the Aiguille Rouge, but when we left the apartment we immediately saw the whole of the higher Aiguille …

WordPress Mapping Plugin

Sunday, 1st September 2013

The WordPress Google Mapping Plugin allows your site to show locations using Google mapping, showcase featured images from your geo-located posts, present GPX tracks, GPX elevation graphs, record a country against your posts, and much much more… I like to think this mapping plugin is amongst the very best available for WordPress. But don’t take …
