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.

Staveley Beer Festival

Sunday, 16th March 2014

One great benefit of living in Staveley is that when the Beer Festival comes to town we don’t have to drive anywhere.

Shoulder-iffic Gritstone

Sunday, 9th March 2014

After a weekend climbing gritstone in the Peak District my shoulders are tired. It seems that unlike crimpy rock like limestone, and even our local volcanic Lakeland rock, grit involves a far more all over body contribution. Specifically, finger strength is my usual weakness and my forearms are normally where I get pumped first, however, …

Climbers’ Club AGM & Party Weekend

Tuesday, 4th March 2014

In my humble opinion last year’s CC AGM was a fantastic success. For me there are a lot of boxes to “tick” when deciding where to have the AGM. A location that offers: outdoor activities for all weathers and all pursuits; a quality indoor climbing wall that will join in the fun; an AGM and …

Was it really dry yesterday?

Sunday, 23rd February 2014

I can hardly believe that yesterday was dry, sunny even! But it was cold and windy so instead of a trip to the indoor climbing wall on such a nice day we decided our fitness levels were in need of some attention.

James & Oliver go skiing … again!

Wednesday, 19th February 2014

We left the rain in England to find Chamonix all covered in snow. All the flights were delayed so we didn’t get to Uncle Pete and Aunty Tish’s apartment until 2am! The next morning it was really cloudy so we went to Planards and skied down the blue slope a few times to get used …

Gimme Sunshine

Monday, 17th February 2014

After a seemingly endless winter of snow and cold, followed by the rain, gales and misery of England, Terry thought it would be good to get some sunshine.
