Climbing in Borrowdale and Walking in the Peak
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.
