A few pics from Saturdays trip up Snowdon ⛰️ working for with a great little group of family and friends.

Couldn't have asked for better weather 🌞 but not too hot.

Think it was the busiest I have ever seen it on the summit with big ques to get on to the top but a good day was had by all.

A great day out yesterday with up on kinder scout ⛰️🌞exploring the plateau on the 90th anniversary of the mass trespass.

Enjoyed guiding a nice 14km walk 👣 around Entwistle yesterday with the and crew.

Plenty of sun ☀️, plenty of cake 🍰and great company made for an ace day. Can't wait for April's walk. Check out for details and get yourself along.

Feel free to tag yourself or anyone else in the pictures.

Indoor climbers 🧗

If you have only ever climbed indoors, then outdoor bouldering is the easiest way to give climbing outdoors ago without having to worry about ropes and lots of other equipment.

This summer I will be running some intro to outdoor bouldering days at venues across the Peak District and North Wales.

P.s. it doesn't have to be as steep as the picture!

Managed to sneak a few more days in up in Scotland as I prepare for my winter mountain leader assesment. 🏔️

📸 Is from walking past the northern Corrie's as I headed up and over to Ben Macdui.

This picture doesn't show just how extreme the wind was up high, but definitely had some great days out exploring and practicing skills.

Next up is a guided walk with the community tomorrow over in the Peak District. Will hopefully see you all there.

Just back from a week of exploring up in Scotland in the snow as I prepare myself for my winter mountain leader assesment. 🏔️

Everyday was an adventure as I climbed new mountains and visited new areas. 🔝

Lots of navigation practice including lots of time hiding up in the clouds and selecting routes to avoid the worst of the wind where possible, whilst dealing with the all the snow conditions I encountered.

Scotland in winter is definitely character building!

Out enjoying some of the south glen shiel ridge today. 🏔️

A brief glimpse of whats to come before the clouds closed in again. 📸

Another windy day up high with lots of loose snow blowing about.

Not many pictures today due to it being pretty windy up high⛰️ but did enjoy this view looking back down the valley just after crossing the wire bridge!

Nice to be on the opposite side of glen Nevis enjoying some of the peaks I don't usually get to enjoy whilst looking across at Ben Nevis.

After a call from it was great to get back out with the community yesterday for a walk around Hebden Bridge.⛰️

Always an enjoyable experience and would recommend it to anyone based near to Manchester.

Merry Xmas everyone.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my followers and to everyone who has joined me on adventures previously or are planning to in the future.

Have a good one.

When you ask if he fancies coming out to help log days for your winter mountain leader assesment you know you will be in for an adventure.

Don't quiet think that it counts as a walking day but definitely a learning day as I learnt loads and great to be back out in winter as it's been a while.

Thanks Tom for an epic day.

And today we went that way following the blue sky. 🏔️🌅🚶‍♂️🗻

Was good to be back working with this motley crew from over the weekend at Kendal Mountain Festival 🏔️

I'll even admit that for some strange reason I enjoyed running this year which is something I thought I would never say. 🏃‍♂️

Kendal is always a good event to be part of, meeting friends old and new, trying new activities and sometimes even pushing your limits on what you think you can achieve always leads to good experiences and this weekend was one of those weekends for me.

Even thinking about the possibility of offering guided trail runs in the hills if anyone is keen!!!

The views on this morning's run along Scout Scar above Kendal. Days like this who needs to go abroad when we have this beauty right here.

It doesn't have to be bonfire night to see awesome colours in the sky as this picture from a few weeks back proves.

Walking in the hills as the sun rises or sets can be a great experience.

Out at Cadshaw Castle yesterday and it was great to bump in to James out climbing there too.

When I was working James was on one of my beginners courses about 3 years ago. Now he is taking himself out climbing outside, putting the skills he learnt indoors to use when he climbs outdoors.

Plus we were the only two teams climbing at this great little venue on a gorgeous sunny day.
