The Watkin Path

There are many ways up Snowdon. I've climbed or walked almost all of them, but never the Watkin Path. Until today that was!

Two days in Gower

Despite the variable weather, myself and Ross ticked some of the classic routes in the Gower at Fall Bay Buttress on the Saturday including Osiris, Isis and South West Diedre. On the Sunday we were joined by Owen and headed to the sands of Three Cliffs Bay for some sunnier and sandier trad.

Djangart 2013 Expedition

A major expedition for three weeks to the Djangart valley in Kyrgyzstan. With five other friends, we climbed seven new alpine routes on unclimbed peaks in the range. For further details, please see the Djangart expedition website.

One night in Switzerland

A truly epic micro-adventure. Is it possible to leave the UK one morning, spend the night in the Monte Rosa hut, and return the following evening back to the UK? Yes, it seems!

Swimming in the Brecons

Another baking British summer day, so what better to cool off than walk upstream from Pontneddfechan and cool off diving from the top of the waterfalls into the plunge pools beneath.

Microadventure, with wine

In true Alastair Humphreys style we left work, went to the climbing wall for a bit, nipped home to grab three bottles of wine then headed to the hills of Burton Dassett. Seemingly the only high point in the whole of Warwickshire, we trudged up the 45m walk from the car park to bivy site and settled in for the night.

@George_Cave looks a good ratio
