Destination: The Black Cuillins of Skye

3 April 2014

The Black Cuillins are probably the longest sustained alpine-style ridge in the UK, found in Skye, Scotland, they're very spiky and dramatic. In 2012, in March, our trip to Skye was beautifully sunny and hot. So much so that we went swimming in the rivers and sea. Last time round, I still thought of myself […]

Take My Journey to the big screen!

30 September 2012

In the fanfare of new camera equipment I forgot to mention that, ones of my clips I'm proudest of, got a display at one of the University Hiking Club open events: They already use it on their website and apparently like it so much they wanted to enter it for a competition haha. Whilst, in […]

Take My Journey

28 April 2012

Over the past few years, I've done a lot of hiking, been to many places and see a great deal. To document it, I started editing together some of my clips several months ago. This is the result – thanks for stopping by for a look! Switch it to HD, make it fullscreen, let it […]

Catbells, Maiden Moor and High Spy from Grange

9 April 2012

Several weeks ago I went on a walk with UMHC, up Catbells, Maiden Moor and High Spy from Grange: I've been up Catbells before – in fact my first ever walk with the club was up Catbells from Keswick, but this time, we were dropped off at Grange and walked along the valley before ascending […]

3 April 2012

I've just got back from spending a week hiking in the Cuillins on Skye. We were based in Glen Brittle and I made this video with the footage I took: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s8gS8nVB5Kw

Conquerored: Beda Knott, Loughrigg Fell

20 February 2012

Last weekend, I went to Patterdale, in the Lake District on a weekend trip. It's nice to get out of Manchester, and even though the weather wasn't fantastic, there was still plenty to do. A more energetic group wanted to do St. Sunday's Crag, Fairfield, Helvellyn, Striding Edge, which sounded good and strenuous and exciting, […]

Langdale is lovely

17 February 2012

Last March I went hiking with UMHC to Langdale for the first time. This was the first time I did, Jack's Rake, Harrison Stickle, Pike o'Stickle, Pavey Ark etc. I made a bit of a video that day and it came out rather well. It did help that it was a beautiful day of course: […]

Snowdon is snowy but dry stone walls are an oxymoron

6 February 2012

Yesterday I climbed Snowdon; the highest mountain in Wales for the first time with UMHC. I'm not quite sure what's taken me so long to have a go at it, but I think it's status as a major tourist attraction was probably part of the story (Snowdon has a railway up the side and a […]

UMHC Helvellyn via Striding Edge 2011

27 September 2011

This weekend with UMHC I walked up Helvellyn via Striding Edge. I've done it before several times, once with my parents when I was 8 or something, and once, this summer, with a Hiking club friend, when we backpacked over Helvellyn in beautiful sunshine. It was a bit different this time.. the rain didn't get […]
