Me, family and the Fire truck will be meeting James Buckley and his family for a mixed weekend of climbing and walking depending how people feel and the conditions with maybe a spicy route or Two. Depending on numbers we could visit a pub Saturday night.

An attempt on the highest mountain in Norway, Galdhopiggen (2469m) taking the northern approach via the Styggebrean Glacier (F).

The annual BMC Meet in Gower is a great opportunity to join other climbers and walkers at a beautiful venue in South Wales. Dave G and Andrew attended two years ago and had a great time. There will be some skills workshops for adults and for children, and a speaker and climbing pub quiz on Saturday evening. The BMC team cook breakfast on the campsite in the morning to raise funds for the South Wales Bolt Fund and local Rescue organisations. If you want to join us, just book into the campsite and mention the BMC. A separate field is set aside for the Festival. Andrew will be arriving early and will reserve you a pitch if you ask.

This trip was all ready to go two years ago when Che took a leader fall and knackered his ankle. The aim is to have a day at Shepherd's Crag, including an ascent of Little Chamonix, and also a day at Black Crag to try Troutdale Pinnacle. Both are Classic Rock routes. For walkers and scramblers, there's plenty to occupy you in Borrowdale. Three of us are already booked into the Borrowdale Youth Hostel and hope that some of you can join us.

Basically weather permitting me and James are planning a day run to bag The groove E1 5B hard rock and then Main Wall HS 4B classic rock. All being well arrive around 8am, park up and walk in to get on the Groove first. If that goes well try and tick Main Wall to.

A day trip only.

Join us for as long as you like, a couple of days or all week. My climbing partner and I will be there all week, so please come and join:)
 
Costa Blanca is rightly regarded as one of the best destinations anywhere for winter sun climbing (So the bible says). Benign climate and massive amount of rock available. Cliffs available vary from tiny roadside buttresses, to long multi-pitch full-day trad routes and ridges (you are better of bringing a small rack for the longer routes, and ridges).

Join us for bouldering and walking in the Forêt de Fontainbleau in Spring 2019. In March 2018, Dave G and Andrew did a recce and are keen to get back for a second visit. It’s not just about the bouldering. The forest is a vast recreational resource, and cyclists, runners, backpackers and families with picnics go there to lose themselves in nature. The bouldering is some of the best in the world with thousands of lumps of sandstone spread across the area. Oh, and the food and drink are amazing too.
