A bit of a mixed summer, but adventures continue. Fantastic to support the awesome GB team at last week’s World Orienteering Champs (and confirm that I am the smallest person in the world) before heading west to orienteering paradise where I ninja’d through the craggy forests of Knapdale for three days. Map-based fun was sandwiched between classic Lakes esoteric craglets and type two fun with friends… Interested in curating your own adventures?

Really enjoyable couple of days climbing with @dougscott38 in Langdale. Some great climbing, but probably our best achievement was to stay smiling despite strong winds, downpours, and the fact we were wearing down jackets and waterproofs most of the time!! Snapped a few photos of a team on Kettle Crag in Friday - pass this on if you know who they might be 🧗☀️💨☔️ #rockclimbing #lakesclimbing #summer ... See MoreSee Less
Skills week! Lots of fun working with Kelly, James, Benji, Linus, Caitlin, Matt and Nan this week as they variously booked a day to brush up on skills for scrambling, trad climbing and alpine mountaineering!! We spent lots of time looking at movement skills, tying knots in ropes, rescuing rucksacks from ‘crevasses’ and figuring out some basic self rescue techniques. … also snuck in a day on sunny rock with Duncan on the fantastic Sadgill Wall in Longsleddale where the wildflowers are out in force ☀️🌸🧗♂️ #lakedistict #rockclimbing ...

A trad masterclass: it was a real privilege to hold the ropes for @esther_foster as she cruised up a very stylish onsight ascent of Trilogy yesterday evening. Really cool to see her preparation for a hard route like this - giving herself the best chance of success. A very calm, chilled ascent, not a hint that she wouldn’t cruise it 😎 (very different to my attempt at seconding, let’s just say that I can confirm that her gear was solid 😉) #rockclimbing #lakedistrict #langdale ...
