Thanks to the magic of the Internet and a lot of great help (Cheers JP especially!) I’ve pulled together The 2021 Rucksack Club Charity Calendar from the back of the […]

Every June, for almost 20 years, Helen and I have organised The Gogarth Meet. Despite my best efforts, and the climbing on The Best Crag In The World, this has […]
We’re approaching 6 weeks into lockdown and the lack of climbing is starting to tell. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I briefly rekindled my running career, only to […]
In these difficult times it’s really important to stay connected even if we can’t meet physically, so it was a great privilege to team up with Bill to deliver The […]
Wow – it’s barely a week ago (Friday 13th, not that I’m superstitious – or wasn’t!) that we were sitting in the kitchen at Finepark, Finestrat, with the Rucksack Club […]
Happy New Year from RockAroundTheWorld! … and what better way to get 2020 off to a great start than to get yourself a calendar full of inspiring Get Out There! […]
Just in case you were worried by the ‘radio silence’ from Rock Around The World, here’s a quick update on the last month or so since we returned from The […]
It was a dodgy forecast, but a Rucksack Club meet at Beudy (our hut in The Pass) is usually worth it for the social anyway – climbing is a bonus. […]
With the seemingly inevitable new “hottest day on record” arriving this week, the fickle relationship between climbers and the weather is exposed: “It’s too hot!” There’s no pleasing some people […]
Not a racey page-turner, but a quick look back at a week’s visits to 5 different grit crags, and the amazing contrast offered by more or less the same rock […]
Amidst a fairly unspectacular summer, the forecast for the Rucksack Club’s annual pilgrimage to Gogarth wasn’t looking particularly auspicious. I’ve been organising this gathering for almost 20 years, and not […]
Back from Pembroke and Ogmore, what could be a greater contrast than a trip to Windgather? We headed to this friendliest of Peak crags to catch up with Bill and […]
After our last trip to play on the fabulous tufas above the lower tier at Cave of Panagia I’d been pestering Jake to explore further with one of the multi-pitch […]
The sun has well and truly got its hat back on now! SunRock indeed 🙂 Troughton team selfie at the campsite ahead of Tash’s last day Back to Twin Caves […]
After three chilly days, normal “Sun Rock service” was finally resumed – just in time to avoid the worst of the mutiny! Big teams at Red Rock and Skiadianiko made […]
Another chilly day, 8C max, but at least it was dry. Reports from Bill and Barbara, back from a foray over the hill, indicated the snowploughs had been out! News […]
With Saturday’s deluge behind us, it was still pretty chilly and some early drizzle had us wandering up to the crag around noon. Surprisingly, the whole of the Theos / […]
The forecasts had been promising a grim start to the final week of SunRock 2019, with various doom-laden projections including inches of rain and even snow. In fairness, the “official” […]
Parking at the 9th hairpin out of town you’re at over 400m (the crag’s at 470m) which is why we were in the snow when Jim and I made our […]
Good drying weather and wilting arms provided the perfect conditions to get a month’s washing done and have a lazy start… … before heading to the crag. We’d nipped to […]
