Birthday Climb – North West Girdle, Almscliff

September 1, 2021by Dominic 2 Comments

I usually try to grab a memorable climb to celebrate my birthday with. Sometimes these are epic / exotic https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2019/09/01/outer-space-eldorado-canyon-and-a-memorable-birthday/ Often they’ve been at Gogarth https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2017/09/01/flytrap-on-gogarth-north-stack-birthday-adventure/ Or involved a “tick” […]

Lockdown 2.0

December 4, 2020by Dominic 3 Comments

Gordale take 2 – Light and Deliverance

August 31, 2020by Dominic 1 Comment

After celebrating my last birthday in Eldorado Canyon, https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2019/09/01/outer-space-eldorado-canyon-and-a-memorable-birthday/ the current travel situation was only ever going to make it harder to come up with an appropriate follow-up Anniversary Adventure […]

White Rose County / White Rock

June 20, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

After a taste of the gritty stuff we switched sides for a couple of days. Who’d believe it takes over an hour to get from Brimham to Malham? Not the […]
