Kentmere Ski Touring

Saturday, 26th January 2013

On Friday it snowed all day and well in to the night. We checked the forecast for the Saturday, and although the temperatures were rising and rain was on its way, it looked like the snow might stick around for long enough for us to have some fun in Kentmere.

Central Gully, Great End

Friday, 14th December 2012

Feeding The Coldest Journey

"Food, glorious food!" Well, actually, not that glorious....

Cumbria Cross-Country 2012

Sunday, 28th October 2012

I’d always been a bit nervous of trying a XC race because I wasn’t sure what I was letting myself in for. However, I was told it was basically just a race, quite short but usually muddy. The first XC of this series was the first XC for both Sarah and myself. It was held …
