    Norway: Summer 2015

    This September, I went with University of Nottingham Mountaineering on their much anticipated expedition to Norway. Returning to the same location as last year with the aim of cleaning up the debris of a 1950’s glacier survey camp, we had a twelve person team which included two members of the 1959 glacier survey expedition.

    Last weekend I went to the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons with five friends. We were practising for our expedition to Norway which starts in 3 days time.  We also did some filming whilst walking and camping.

    On the Saturday 30th I drove up to Wasdale in the Lake District for a quick trip. I had an interview on the Sunday morning for a place on a fast track outdoor leadership course. Afterwards I went for a walk up Scafell Pike.

  • Joining the MCofS

    Joining the MCofS

    Last week I joined MCofS (Mountaineering Council of Scotland) as a member. This is something I would recommend as it helps support their work and provides excellent benefits including a nice gift free for new members.

    Despite the mixed forecast this weekend I went to the Lake District with five friends, we camped on the Friday night, walked on the Saturday before camping and then walk back on the Sunday.
