Throwback to National Whitewater Centre
18 November 2024
Throwback to a trip to the National Whitewater Centre. James LOVED cafe wave. Watching kayakers and rafters was an unexpected highlight for him! I had a magnificent time on the Lower T, after the Upper made me feel a bit delicate and out of practice. Thanks to Tavi, Fran and Ewen for making us so […]

Memories of Barbara – an old friend
15 November 2024
I want to reshare these memories of an old friend: Barbara didn't arrive at the Clan like most new climbers. She came following her husband's death, accompanying her American granddaughter who wanted to climb while visiting for the funeral.

Learning scrambling and hillwalking with student hikers
13 November 2024
I learnt about scrambling and hillwalking with a student hiking club – we were a super diverse bunch, very supportive. I was definitely the slowest person every time we went walking that first year. When I got into climbing, I wondered what else was out there. I tried a well-known club's new members meet in […]
Giants Entrance to Garlands trip with mum
12 November 2024
Throwback to a Giants Entrance Garlands trip with my mum, dad, son and oldest nephew. I've had a bit of anxiety of doing this trip with a front mounted baby – as there's a section shortly before the Giants Bypass section where it's usually best to go sideways. With a front mounted babysaur, I wasn't […]

We ventured up a wonderful scree walks that was hugely popular with the team, found a sturdy table […]
