Climbing with Kids at Kyloe Crags

First taste of real rock climbing for James and me - great fun and tough challenge on Kyloe Crags in Northumberland, with expert supervision and instruction from Kim's Border Search and Rescue buddies, James, Damon and George. And a wonderful climbing exhibition from Damon's 10-year-old twins, Toby and Oscar.

Bow Fell and the Langdale Pikes

Impromptu trip to the Lakes for a wee birthday hillwalk, camping in the rain in Langdale then heading up into the mists of Bow Fell and a lovely round under the cloud, high over the Langdale Pikes. The photos a little deceptive as the camera quickly came out, only with each very brief glimpse of the sun.

Tandeming Arran

Arrived on Arran to cycle a lap of the island on the tandem only to discover a 5 mile section of the road is currently closed. So instead we did a north loop followed by a south loop. This took in all 3 big cat 3 Arran climbs - the String, the Lochranza climb and the Ross - as well as countless cat 4s. A huge effort, but wonderful fun - and further and MUCH more climbing than the originally planned lap.

Wet, Wild and Wonderful Kintail

A fabulous, memorable weekend on the big mountains of Kintail. Climbed the Five Sisters on Saturday - collected at the other end by our perfect hosts, the Cluanie Inn. A very damp day, but lots of views and smiles nevertheless. Then a wee "warm down" on Sunday up Sgurr an Fhuarail - plodding up through rain and sun and wind into the wildest of blizzards at the top - then back, via lunch in the storm shelter, to the Inn for a well earned coffee and cake.

Harry Potter Campervanning

Easter break to the west coast in a rented campervan. Brilliant fun searching out Harry Potter movie scenes - successfully bagged all four we were targeting. Delivered a stretcher for servicing to Hamish MacInnes (in person) and carried out Easter Egg hunts for James in various beautiful locations.

Meall nan Tarmachan

Lovely winter walk on the Meall nan Tarmachan and the perfect little Tarmachan Ridge. Practiced some "winter skills" on the snow slopes to bypass the "bad step" that I kept telling Kim didn't exist. Until it did!!!

Wonderful ski holiday at La Tania, The Three Valleys/Courchevel in the French Alps. Excellent company, ridiculously good food and more ski runs than you could shake a pole at. Thank you Julie and Douglas, for inviting us to join you.

New website photoshoot for Ann's pal's Zinc and Siberian Larch clad holiday house on the shores of West Loch Tarbert. And James makes a new pal and learns how to fish for crabs, very successfully, with a piece of string, an old nail and some scraps of bacon. (New website to follow).

Gordon's 60th

Hillwalking on Beinn Eunaich and Beinn a' Chochuill to celebrate Gordon's 60th birthday. But of course Gordon had to run across the Ben Cruachan Munros too! Amazing stuff for 60! As he passed us, in a blur, I managed to grab one photo featuring the birthday boy before he vanished again into the middle distance.
