Clever clogs
Day 2 continued…the Clogwyn y Person Arête.
After a short descent from the Parsons nose, it was my turn to lead, route finding, setting protection and belay points.
The most interesting route was steep and direct, lots of challenge and exposure, but with grippy rock it gave plenty of confidence.…

Waited for a clear sunny day to come around for this one, the Bochlwyd Horseshoe, is a really picturesque scramble route in the Glyders.
Firstly up the imposingly steep north face of Tryfan, the cannon was easy to locate and fun to stand on,…

Feeling a little edgy
Short hike around couple of the Peak District’s scenic edges, the terrain having plenty of drainage making for an ideal walk after all the rain we’ve been having.
With no rain in sight for once, but the sunshine playing hard to get, it was down to the wildlife to brighten…

An abandoned attempt at a loop of the Carnedds. Starting from Ogwen on a dull but pleasant day we headed off up to the right of the lake towards Pen Yr Ole Wen, a great walk up with a few little bits of scrambling available, passing into the cloud, where…

Going underground
An underground adventure in the old cwmorthin slate mine, beneath the mountains in Blaenau.
An organised trip with multiple absails, zip lines, traverses and bridges, ending with a free fall jump into an inky black cavern.
The guides were reassuring, really knowledgeable about the history of the mine and good…

Hmmm pea soup 😋
A dark, misty and rainy start to the walk at Bleaklow, leaving lots of the path ankle deep in water as we headed for Higher shelf stones and the B-29 crash site. We then headed south through Alport Dale following the narrow path through the valley, watching the river grow…
