Re: Blencathra via Doddick Fell

Nice report. A great route up a great mountain. I've often mentally followed the ridge up while passing in a car or bus but have never actually climbed it. I'd imagine it would be a good option when visibility is poor as well. Blencathra can be surprisingly confusing in the fog and I've managed to g...

Re: Via ferrata: my journey to the dark side!

Thanks. Actually 'fixed' lanyards such as slings are a pretty good way to get yourself killed. The issue is not the length of the lanyard, but the distance you fall before the lanyard 'catches'. This only occurs at the points where the cable is joined to a rock, and there are some places where there...

Re: The silliest sign you've seen on a walk?

Obviously it's childish to poke fun at European attempts at translating signs into English, but let's do it anyway:

Go circulate elsewhere


P6210032 (2)-1.jpg
Produced in the days before Google translate


P6220044 (2)-1.jpg
I've been called worse


This, on the other hand, must confuse the hell out of foreign tourists:

Three classic Snowdonia scrambles in one day

I was back in the UK over autumn before I started my new job in Lyon and took advantage of a month off to tick off a few local mountains. I had never climbed Snowdon before, and after seeing news reports of the large crowds after the covid lockdowns I had decided it was not a mountain for me. But I ...
