Next generation – another brilliant day with the lads from @du.mountaineering. Building the skills they need to be safe 😃 independent trad climbers 🧗 Placing good gear, building belays, leading and testing the gear (with a safety rope…), and a spot of abseiling. Great fun to see them soaking it all up and being genuinely awestruck by the peace and beauty around us at the crag today.Thank you to @duncanarcher77 for joining us and helping to deliver a great day out 🙏 and thank you Durham Uni Mountaineering Club for supporting your members by creating these opportunities for people to get out climbing #tradclimbing #lakedistrict #borrowdale #uniclubs #amiprofessionals #femaleinstructor … See MoreSee Less

Winter cragging – I carry on trad climbing in the Lakes through the winter, mainly cos I simply love being on rock, but also because the fells are beautiful and everyday feels like a surprise treat!Grabbing mountain sun on Pavey Ark with the boys, Friday evening sun on the wonderful ‘Centipede’ at Raven, and launching returning client Nick as he gets to grips with leading on the lovely ‘Route 1’ at Upper Scout.My electric hand warmer has been deployed a few times to warm fingers and toes, but conditions have been lovely and dry on the gorgeous crags of Langdale#Langdale #LakeDistrict #wintercragging #wintersun #8layers #tradclimbing #amiprofessionals #girlswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less

Orienteering – fantastic weekend doing my ‘other job’, heading up the GB orienteering team for @britishorienteering Stunning couple of days in Lakes terrain with 30+ athletes working and playing hard as they topped up their technical skills in preparation for international races this summer.Thank you to everyone for help with planning courses, coaching athletes, hanging and collecting controls, feeding everyone and giving lifts! Thank you to @lakelandorienteeringclub for letting us join your fantastic night event. And the biggest thank you to the athletes for being awesome.Note to self: if I’m gonna shadow the athletes, try to pick downhill sections of the course 😂 – they are ridiculously speedy uphill, through heather, whilst reading a map…#LakeDistrict #Orienteering #ILoveMaps #eliteathletes … See MoreSee Less
