Bramcrag Quarry
Up to the Lakes and an overnight stop under Skidaw, in a car park used by BG support teams. I hadn’t been anywhere near the BG route in the two […]

Fancy a bit of Yorkshire Sports Climbing, Grommet?
A couple of days in the Dales and two new (to us) crags. Our first day was at sector Stone Cold at the far left end of Giggleswick South. Not […]
Tashy’s graduation
A glorious day in Bristol to celebrate Tashy’s graduation – great sense of occasion in the Wills Memorial Building and fantastic weather were the least she deserved after so much […]
Sizzling at Staden
The Mercury, or actually the car thermometer, is pushing 30C and we have the rare conundrum (this year at least) of finding a shady crag. Where else but Staden – […]
A blast up to Borrowdale
For once, the weather in the Lakes was better than the forecast for the Peak. …and I was heading there anyway for Robin and Amy’s party. Lower Falcon Crag was […]
Wednesday evening at Birchens
We were greeted with drizzle on arriving at the crag, so spent a few minutes sheltered under the initial overhanging section of Trafalgar buttress, reminiscing about when Birchens was our […]

Another scan of the weather map and another decision to make the 2.30hr trip to Gogarth. This wasn’t looking like a great decision as we tiptoed across the traverse a […]
Contrasting days in the Peak
Tuesday threatened to be the only dry interlude in a damp week. Time to explore a couple of Gary’s new offerings near Stoney. Somewhat post Industrial, 5 minutes from the […]
Family fun in the Brecon Beacons
Fiercely competitive ping-pong, late night card school, canoeing, dawn NERF-gun raids and raft building. Throw in beer and good food and you’ve got a memorable weekend!
Some Big Wall coaching
Mike and Ben got in touch with an interest in climbing El Cap, and looking for a bit of guidance. Where better for a Big Wall 101 than Hobson Moor […]
Gogarth – sunshine guaranteed!
We got lucky with the weather (again!), with Holyhead being about the only dry place in the country! More words and pictures at http://www.blog.rucksackclub.org/?p=4231
Back in Blighty, and a Blog Backlog
Back home in time for the summer, and we managed to catch a day of it before the monsoon season set in. A glorious afternoon with Mike and Heidi at […]
