So I’ve slacked on keeping up with the blog and my apologies to anyone in particular who’s posted a comment and it’s taken me a while to respond, a lot has happened of late and whilst the blog is important, my primary concern has been in making sure I keep walking/climbing when I have time/money to do so.
What have I been up to then?
- September 2009 – Kinder Downfall from Hayfield
- November 2009 – New York Marathon
- March 2010 – Tower Slabs (wi ii/iii) on Glyder Fawr and Left Hand Trinity (wi i/ii) on Snowdon
- April 2010 – Cadair Idris
… and concentrated on my climbing in particular, with now regular weekly visits to The Tower Climbing Centre in Leicester
BIG NEWS is that I’m now registered to the Mountain Leader qualification so there will be plenty more walks and camping to come over the next 6 months with the aim being to take the training sometime in late Summer/early Autumn, and then the exam either late this year or more likely early next. Preparing for the ML will mean lots more updates as I keep track of walks/climbs and a clear direction for what’s to come on blog. Can’t wait to get cracking, the log book sits besides me, insisting I go and find plenty more fun up high.

Glad to hear your still alive and congratulations on your Mountain Leader qualification. I’ll catch up on your posts later but look like some cracking photos from your Wales trip!

Ooops, I may be read your post too quickly……you’ve started on the road to ML qualification, which sounds like a good excuse to get out into the mountains! Just back from Wales myself – a cracking weekend with the last remnants of snow coupled with ideal spring weather and rock under foot and hand. Perfect!
