About Me

My photo
Way back in time before the onset of adulthood I enjoyed countless days heading into the hills of Yorkshire with nothing more than a squashed sandwich & youthful sense for adventure! Despite long past youthful and work commitments keeping me in the city, the sense of adventure and love for the outdoors never left me. After digging my boots out and returning to the hills I attended a number of courses to improve my hill knowledge and skill base, during one of these courses it was suggested I join the Mountain Leader Training scheme and was delighted go on to gain the MOUNTAIN LEADER Award in April 2012. As well as spending time on the hills and mountains of the UK I have also enjoyed trips to the Nepalese Himalaya, Swiss & French Alps, Mallorca’s Tramuntana, Andorran & French Pyrenees, Morocco’s High Atlas, Tanzania’s Mt Meru & Kilimanjaro, Argentinian & Chilean Patagonia and winter expeditions to Norway’s Hardangervidda. Since gaining the ML I have also gained the SINGLE PITCH AWARD, INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN LEADER AWARD and the WINTER MOUNTAIN LEADER AWARD. I am now enjoying working in a freelance role whilst trying to get out climbing as much as possible.

I Am The Passenger!

 Last week I made my last trip of the winter season to Scotland to meet up with Rob and John, as I recently gained the Winter Mountain Leader Award I was purely along as a passenger.
Tuesday I met up with Rob and John who are on the Winter Mountain Leader Training Scheme.
I joined them on a route they had chosen which would take us up the Western flank of Aonach Mor, across the summit to Aonach Beag and down into Glen Nevis.
 With a strong wind, low cloud and spindrift the crossing of Aonach Mor summit was entertaining and it was good to leave the winds behind when heading up Aonach Beag. We then made our way into Glen Nevis in somewhat 'moist' conditions.

Wednesday and the forecast was excellent so we headed North from Fort William and for Glen Shiel and the Forcan Ridge.
 I think the photos say enough - a stunning Scottish winter day!
