What we've been up to
We’re running a flatwater kayaking skills course in Durham on 13-14 June 2009. This course will improve your basic kayaking skills, building on any experience you already have to make you more self sufficient and efficient with your paddling. The course will suit those who have paddled a handful of times before, but may not yet have attained 2 Star level.
The cost for the two days is £130, including all kit. Futher details can be found at

Hannah arriving on the Belvedere, Shepherds Crag, Lake District
Spent the bank holiday weekend with the High Peak Club climbing in Borrowdale. On the Sunday, we were treated to hail, rain and fog all within the space of a couple of hours, but by the end of our second route the view was superb.
Rock Climbing in Borrowdale
Rock Climbing
Over the course of the weekend, climbing with Ves, Skie and Hannah, I managed to lead 17 pitches all in - a respectable figure I feel. I suppose that’s a sign I need to be pushing a bit harder!
Walking on the Peak
On Wednesday, Becky, Chris J, Kate and I went up to the plane crash site on Bleaklow on the Peak in superb conditions. The plane is now 61 years old, but shiny aluminium makes it look as though it’s crashed yesterday.

Climbing at Baggy Point
Spent Wednesday evening climbing at Baggy on the north Devon coast. The first time I’ve been there, and the place was deserted, a good first experience.
