Climbing Contrasts
On Friday, Porthmadog was the hottest place in the UK.
On Saturday morning, I awoke to snow on the tops!
Running
Misty Mournes
After a few years of looking yearningly at photos of grit tors with seaside views, I finally made it to Northern Ireland’s Mourne Mountains last week.
Belvoir Challenge 2015
My second running of the Belvoir Challenge (15 mile version), and a different route to last year just to confuse me!
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Well, quite a bit to report on from the last couple of weeks. We’ve had a weekend in the Peak District, some snowy fell runs, a race, and a ramble.
