Summit Bagging in the Mist

Having been out of action for a week or so thanks to a cold that went to my chest, I was dying to get out in the fresh air doing something exciting. I went for a short run on Sunday that was slow and quite a struggle but it didn’t set me back at all...

The Dyfi Valley from a Different Angle

I had another quick pop into the hills yesterday to try out some kit. It was only a short walk/run and not far from home. Having looked down on the Dyfi Valley from Tarren Hendre on Monday, I was again looking down on it, this time from the opposite side whilst on top of Foel...

A Walk in the Hills – Tarren Hendre

With a few bits of new kit and the OMM looming on the horizon, I decided to make the most of my Bank Holiday afternoon and head out into the hills. It wasn’t a particularly exciting day weather wise with grey skies, light winds and the possibility of drizzle on the hilltops. It was 1pm...

Norway Trip Part 2 – Voss

After another hearty breakfast at our hotel in Bergen, we boarded the tram once again to head into the City Centre. This time we had all of our luggage with us. Large rucksacks on our backs and smaller ones on our front. It was surprisingly comfortable, but not something we’d want to carry too far!...

Bryant’s Gulley

Rhys and I headed up to North Wales to scramble up Bryant’s Gulley earlier in the week. After 4 weeks of bone dry, sunny weather there was some rain the night before. Not loads but the guidebook starts by saying: The route is ideal on a warm spring or summer’s day after a prolonged period...

Action Packed Work Day

After an evening surf session at Ynyslas on Tuesday, it was back at work on Wednesday following our trip to the Isle of Man. Being back at work didn’t stop me having some fun though. Estuary Windsurfing I started the day with an early morning windsurf session in the estuary. Funnily enough, at 6:30am there...

Me on the Nantlle Ridge

There weren’t many photos of me in my recent post about our scramble along the Nantlle Ridge. That’s because when I took photos they were of the scenery or of Rhys. I’ve not had some photos from Rhys’s camera which had a few of me, so here they are.

Doing it in the Buff

I think you’ll agree with me that it’s better in the buff? So, with that in mind this article is all about doing it in the buff! What’s more, just for your entertainment you I shall illustrate it with plenty of photos of me (a grey, slightly overweight, middle-aged man) in the buff as well....

OMM Readiness

OMM… no, I haven’t taken up some sort of Hindu spiritual chanting! I have however been talked into signing up for the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). I’m not taking full responsibility of course, it’s all Lawrence’s fault. He twisted my arm and badgered me into saying I’d do it with him. It started with a...

A Smug Little Ride

Having missed a windsurf session on Saturday, it was time to get out in the hills for a ride. Colin had mentioned it to me in the week so I was expecting to head out with him and Steve. However, Colin went a little quiet on the subject as the weekend approached so it ended...
