Mam Tor is a classic Peak District walk

27 June 2021

Mam Tor is a classic Peak District landmark. It's been familiar with me for a long time, and is perhaps "The Peak District's Most Dangerous Mountain" Why is it the most dangerous? Well of all the mountains in the Peak District, it (probably) gets the biggest number of Mountain Rescue Callouts. Why does it get […]

Fun afternoon at Birchen Edge

2 June 2021

Fun afternoon at Birchen Edge a few weeks ago bouldering with Silvia.

I rarely boulder as I find small heights scary – being unsecured two foot above the ground is terrifying… But some […]
