Le Tour de France

Saturday, 5th July 2014

We’ve been excited by the prospect of the Tour de France passing through Yorkshire for quite some time. Having the world’s largest single sporting race so close to home is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join in with the spectacle…

Brilliant Weather = Lots of Adventures

Monday, 23rd June 2014

The weather this past week has been glorious! In between working and gardening I have tried my hardest to get out and enjoy it…

Great Close Scar

Monday, 9th June 2014

Last weekend we went across to Yorkshire to sample more rock climbing on the lovely limestone crags. We’d chosen Great Close Scar right next to Malham Tarn.

The First Cuckoo of Spring (oh, and Quayfoot Buttress)

Sneaking a couple of hours of mountain biking between the showers in Grisedale Forest on the North Face Mountain Bike Trail…

Forest of Bowland Mountain Biking

Monday, 28th April 2014

Mountain biking is great fun! But every now and again its even more exciting to go somewhere new…

A Super Sunny Easter Weekend

Tuesday, 22nd April 2014

In common with last year Easter’s weather in 2014 was super sunny, however, in 2013 it was freezing and perfect for Scottish winter climbing (although granted Easter was a little bit later this year). Either way, sunny weather means climbing of one sort or another…
