14.1.15 Walking with; Nathan I met Nathan when we were both Mountain Leader trainees and we have remained good walking buddies ever since and had some decent adventures on hills from Crib Goch to Galloway.

So we are now into 2015 and after the festivities and the eating, drinking and being merry, I have had a little time to reflect on the highlights of 2014 and look ahead to what 2015 has in store for Come walk with me. I guess that the most obvious highlight was passing my Mountain

27.10.14 Walking with; My Dad (Keith) No visit down South to the places that still resonate as home twenty plus years after I left them is complete without a fish and chip lunch, a pint of local bitter and a wander around Rye Harbour with the old man! It’s the outdoors equivalent of a
4.10.14 Walking with; Mountain Monkeys The Yorkshire 3 Peaks is one of the UK’s classic “challenge walks” and is deservedly popular. It takes in three of Yorkshire’s highest peaks, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough and covers around 25 miles, not an undertaking to be taken lightly. Whilst the route can be started from a number of
