Snowless Scottish Ski Tour!

Hiking, Skiing, Travel, ViewRanger January 20, 2017
The Plan The original plan was marvellous – or at least it was in my head… Between Christmas and New Year I would drive up to Aviemore where there would be the perfect amount of snow for a three-day ski tour. Here I would be travelling from bothy to bothy ticking off as many 4000ft […]

I have walked 1000 miles, and I will walk 1000 more…

Hiking, ViewRanger January 8, 2017
1609 kilometres, 160934400 centimetres, 2 million steps… However you want to measure it a thousand miles is a pretty long way! Over the course of last year, I’ve effectively covered the same distance as walking from the Peak District to Milan! I can tell you now; it’s not been easy or plain sailing, but #Walk2016 […]

Climbing Mont Blanc- my first + 4000m peak!

Hiking, Mountaineering, ViewRanger July 17, 2016
Sitting down to write and tell you about the second quarter of my #Walk2016 with ViewRanger I can’t believe we are already halfway through the year. Where has the time gone!? After a shaky first three months, interrupted by injury, I am pleased to say this quarter has been much better and I have nearly caught […]

A lot of the credit should definitely go to Andrew White and Dave Thorp at Nova Productions for their excellent filming and direction. The whole production was so much fun to make with such a great […]

ViewRanger’s #Walk2016 – The First Quarter

Hiking, ViewRanger March 29, 2016
As those of you who follow my blog will know, 2016 didn’t get off to the best start… Crutches aren’t exactly conducive to long walks in the Peaks and scrambling around rock faces! Luckily a little patience, time and strength work in the gym (not a place you would otherwise find me!) have meant I […]

Exploring Tenerife – Volcanos, Turtles & Tapas

Hiking, Travel, ViewRanger March 16, 2016
Bikini – check, sunglasses – check, shorts, sun cream – check, check. Packing my suitcase these were not the sort of items I had been expecting to take on holiday! Until just over six weeks ago I had been going on a week’s ski mountaineering and winter climbing holiday in Scotland. But sadly, due to a […]

February Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge – Attempt 1

Hiking, ViewRanger February 24, 2016
I am going to start by saying this isn’t quite the blog post I expected to be writing! Last Saturday eight friends and I headed up to Harrogate to attempt the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in under 12 hours to raise money and awareness for Foodcycle. That morning preparation had gone well – Frankie was up […]
