An Overnight Bimble in the Berwyns

Posted onApril 23, 2017October 7, 2019Leave a comment

A quick post on my first overnight trip of the year, with Rosie in tow or rather Rosie towing me! Parking at Pistyll Rhaedr waterfall we headed north up the valley and into the Berwyns.  Rosie was wearing a loaded pack for the first time, proudly carrying her own food Read More …

Black (or was it Grey) Mountain Wildcamp

Posted onNovember 5, 2016October 7, 20191 Comment

Black Mountain Oct16 from Nigel Gray on Vimeo. An ‘s‘ and around 40 miles separate the Black Mountains and the Black Mountain, which mark the eastern and western extremes of the Brecon Beacon national park.  A Thursday business trip to Cardiff was an ideal opportunity to visit the western Brecon Read More …

Arenig Fawr – Welsh Winter Wildcamp

Posted onMarch 1, 2015October 7, 20198 Comments

No wonder I saw no other soul in 24 hours – the foothills of Arenig Fawr are a pathless, tussocky bogfest that sap the life and energy from your limbs with every squelchy stomp! The weather forecast had been less than encouraging but a bright blue sky in London teased Read More …

Keld – Yorkshire Dales – Oct 14

Posted onOctober 19, 2014October 7, 20191 Comment

It was a social weekend really – a chance to get away and meet up with some friends and enjoy beautiful countryside, a walk or two, with good beer and food.  We stayed at the delightful Keld Bunkhouse, which a friend had happened across on his Coast-to-Coast route last year. Read More …

Aran Ridge – Quick Video

Posted onOctober 19, 2014October 7, 20194 Comments

I took a small SJCAM SJ4000 waterproof video camera on my recent Aran Ridge wild camp trip.  It only arrived in the morning so no chance to read the manual or tweak settings, or fully charge the battery so it didn’t last for the whole trip and thus my edit Read More …

Aran Ridge 2-Nighter

Posted onOctober 5, 2014October 7, 20194 Comments

As ever, I didn’t manage to get away from London as early as expected so it was 6pm when I arrived in Bala to grab some provisions, parking at the lake to sort out my gear and load my rucksack. I had some new stuff to try out.  I’d be Read More …

A Lakeland Escape

Posted onJune 22, 2014October 7, 20191 Comment

I should have been summiting Mount Triglav in Slovenia. Flights were booked, the route planned and huts contacted some months back but misfortune afflicted my travel companions – one was advised by his doctor not to go lest disrupt his ankle rehabilitation and the other fell foul of a hernia Read More …

Eastern Fells Wildcamp

Posted onJune 15, 2013October 7, 20191 Comment

A recent trip to the Lakes had reminded me of how much of it I still have to visit so it seemed an appropriate destination for a bank holiday weekend trip.  Most of the UK population seemed to have the same thought and faced with gridlock on the M6 I Read More …

Wet and Wild in the Carneddau – First camp of 2013

Posted onApril 28, 2013October 7, 2019Leave a comment

A check-up at the Royal Marsden is always a time for reflection/contemplation and with a hint of spring in the air I made a last minute decision to head up to Snowdonia.   Guessing the majority of the snow would have melted from two weeks earlier I hastily grabbed some Read More …

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 …
