First Winter Climb…in April!

Posted onApril 16, 2013October 7, 2019Leave a comment

The un-ending cold snap that embraced the UK had one unexpected benefit in that the mountains were still snow covered in April.   I was headed for the Tatras in Poland this Easter yet I looked on in envy at the fabulous winter conditions across the UK mountains being reported Read More …

Dull n Damp in Dulyn

Posted onSeptember 13, 2011October 7, 20198 Comments

It was a hastily arranged, largely un-planned attempt to give a couple of friend’s boys their first taste of wild-camping.  The fickle UK weather meant the destination changed hourly until I decided we were going to Wales come hell or high-water – almost both almost came true! A dark, damp night Read More …

Crib Goch…..finally!

Posted onFebruary 14, 2011October 7, 20194 Comments

Unusually for Wales the 5-day forecast was showing clear weather.  That usually counts for nothing with rain assured whatever the forecast, but rules are meant to be broken and the usual trek north saw me arriving at Gwern Gof Uchaf campsite to a clear sky and plummeting temperatures.  Rather than Read More …

It’s been a while..?

Posted onFebruary 12, 2011October 7, 20191 Comment

My blog has been somewhat neglected for the past few months – a combination of winter lethargy and personal ‘stuff’ to deal with, though I’ve continued to keep a watching eye on others travels and musings. I’ve also been spending more time indoor climbing – usually at Westway in London Read More …

First Trad Climb

Posted onAugust 19, 2010October 7, 20191 Comment

A tortuous 5 hr journey had me arriving in moody Ogwen Valley replete with a shrouded Tryfan occasionally offering a glimpse of it’s teeth. A steady stream of showers had punctuated the journey, the next one arriving just as I pitched the Laser Comp. There’s something splendidly raw about Gwern Read More …

Wet and Windy it was!!

Posted onJuly 30, 2010October 7, 20196 Comments

The forecast was correct!  The weather actually seemed relatively fine as we arrived at Capel Curig late on a Friday evening for a boys weekend.   The most eventful bit of the journey was realising Phillip had mistakenly (I hope) bought two crates of zero-alcohol Becks beer for the weekend, Read More …

Snowdon Horseshoe…almost!

Posted onJuly 4, 2010October 7, 20192 Comments

A hastily packed few bags chucked in the boot of the car saw me leave London at 5pm on a Friday evening.   I feared the worst – either a terrible journey or I’ve forgotten something crucial like my sleeping bag.  Surprisingly the motorways were clear and I arrived at Read More …

Llyn Edno wildcamp – The Laser Comp’s first outing

Posted onMay 28, 2010October 7, 201910 Comments

With my new Laser Comp having just arrived I just had to fit in a quick trip, so I headed up to Wales on Friday afternoon.  I hadn’t planned and therefore packed in a hurry, which I would regret later!.  I had thought about heading into the back of Carneddau Read More …

A write up at last!

Posted onApril 20, 2010October 7, 20193 Comments

After a stressful week at work I took Friday off with the promise of fine weather for the weekend making a pleasant change to the usual forecast – in fact I was beginning to think that the iphone weather app was stuck on the rain symbol when looking up Betws Read More …

Snowdonia New Year

Posted onFebruary 8, 2010October 7, 20193 Comments

It’s a little late but I thought I’d drop in a quick summary of our snowy exploits in Snowdonia over the New Year.  No winter wild-camp, base-camp was a small hotel in Betws-y-coed, but as we drove up  the weather was deteriorating as we headed west along the A5.  Snow…let Read More …
