Walking Group Leader Training course

We ran the first Walking Group Leader Training course of the year over the long weekend 4-6 April. The weather was a mixed bag with clear days and then hail and snow! Despite this we had a good, strong course.

Single Pitch award

Jules Barrett and I ran a Single Pitch Training course over the weekend in the Peak District. The weather was generally pretty grim over both days though there were a few hardy souls out and about on the crags!!

Scotland still looks good if you want some classic Ben Nevis ice!!

Sponsors

Over the past 5 years I have been involved with Arcteryx and 5.10 with their product testing. I have always rated their kit as the best on the market.

I am, therefore, very pleased to say that we are now 'officially' sponsored by both manufacturers!

Thanks!

Saas Fee Skiing

Sean and I managed an ascent of the (4128 m) Stralilhorn on a beautiful day. Great skiing and great tracks!

The image shows (Sean James collection) the line of the route to the Summit. Some walk from the col shown but its a great ski up (and down) from here.

Ski Touring around Zermatt

Sean James and I managed to snatch 6 days of touring around the Saas Fee and Zermatt area of Switzerland. We were pleased to have got anything done in the middle of some pretty rough weather in the Alps. Here i am negotiating some awkward ground on the way from the Monta Rosa hut toward the Brittania hut!
