With the amazing sunny weather continuing we took full advantage, hitched a ride with Max, Blue and his son Lewis, and headed up Eskdale to the superb Esk Buttress.
Thought I'd take a look at our local patch this afternoon and wander round the Kentmere Horseshoe. I decided to walk up the valley towards the reservoir this time and then catch the path up towards the Nan Bield Pass.
An opportunity came up at the last moment to attend the first ever BMG Open Day. Seeing as the event was only 10 minutes from home at Ghyll Head OEC near Bowness, it seemed like an unmissable chance to find out more about becoming a mountain guide.
Mike and Jean are the best! Simple as that...
We had a great day helping Mike & Jean celebrate the 50th anniversary of their wedding at the Patshull Park Hotel near Wolverhampton. A nice spot - even in the rain!
The prospect of being a host at the 2006 BMC International meet at Plas y Brenin, North Wales, was a daunting one! All those super hard climbers from all over the world… What had I let myself in for? In fact it was a great week. I was paired up with a newly qualified German …
A day's pleasant climbing at Dinas Mot amongst friends after Laetitia attended the CC committee meeting on the 6th.
Great fun (and exercise) rushing around the forest getting dirty!
Ian decided to go for the sympathy vote by crashing over his handle bars.
As Laetitia's birthday treat we went to Holmescales Activity Centre to walk with Harris Hawks. Amazing birds!
It can't be true, the second bank holiday of the rock climbing season proper and it's nice weather again! The gods must be smiling on climbers for a change!
