Corrour and Glencoe, August 2014...

Once I returned from the Peak District I set off up to Scotland for a holiday and an opportunity to bag a few mountain days...

Whilst in Scotland I managed to bag a mountain day with Adam and also managed a long solo mountain day. During these two days I managed to tick off five new Munros.

Peak District - July 2014

Well after a long delay I am back...

Myself and good friend Eric managed to fit in a climbing trip up to the Peak District. Over the course of two and a half days we managed to bag almost 100 routes between us. We visited the crags of Stanage, Burbage, Frogatt and then Stanage again..

Just a few of the routes which we managed to tick off includes:

Long Tall Sally - E1 5b
Valkyrie - HVS 5a
Three Pebble Slab - E1/HVS 5a

An excellent trip to a fantastic location. Hopefully we shall have another trip planned in the not so distant future...
