SMC Meet at RLH

Sunday, 9th September 2012

While the BBC confidently proclaimed what wonderful sunny weather we would all be having at the weekend, in Cumbria it was drizzling, foggy, and damp. Why do those dim witted Londoners regularly fail to see beyond the end of their noses?

Dazed cyclist

Sunday, 9th September 2012

Cycling to Eastwood from home to see my Grandad seemed like a perfectly sensible thing to do, which it was on the way there. The 38 mile journey flew by in about 2 hours 20 minutes. The way home was a bit more tiring… I even had to stop half way for cola and chocolate …

Almost a triathlon

Sunday, 2nd September 2012

Since I started swimming a year or so ago and even more so since I bought a road bike, people have been asking if I’m going to do a triathlon. This was never my intention, however when one was organised on my doorstep, the temptation was too great. As it turns out, I didn’t actually …

There's a letterbox out there somewhere...

Charmer’s Grave

Saturday, 18th August 2012

Despite the BBC’s promise that Saturday’s weather would be “dry for most” we woke to this summer’s usual situation, torrential rain! However, a day indoors wasn’t appealing so we decided to embark on a mountain-day with loads of different activities and objectives

Side Walk

Monday, 13th August 2012

Laetitia’s parents were visiting at the weekend and somehow I managed to get a day-pass to go out climbing with Paul! (I think Laetitia had taken pity on me after having managed so little quality climbing this year due to the awful rainy weather we’ve been having all summer.) We chose Dow Crag, and Paul …

Soaked!

Tuesday, 7th August 2012

The miserable wet summer weather continues, but with optimism and hope winning the battle over wisdom Richard and I headed out to Gouther Crag in Swindale at the weekend.

My first day of Mountain Rescue team training…

Sunday, 29th July 2012

Today was my first full day of training with the Kendal Mountain Rescue Team.

Saunders Mountain Marathon 2012

Monday, 9th July 2012

Friday of the Saunders MM dawned with gloom; it was horrendously wet and I was feeling pretty rough. This was unfortunate because I had a mountain marathon to run and I was running with Mark, who is mid-way through his (self-imposed) challenge to run 12 marathons in 12 months for The Meningitis Trust. Luckily, from …
