The Panceltic team, based in North Wales, were musing about the Rowan climb being the toughest in the UK and they’ve done the Llyn Cowlyd climb several times......... Where's this Rowan climb? My mistake, Rowen, the climb up the the YHA. It’s about 5 miles south of Conwy - I’ve done it loaded up on...

I've been on campsites every year since before I can remember. All our family holidays were camping. That's what we could afford.

Pffftttt...

How quaint!! I just shout at siri to open up my camera

Never used one, so can't comment!

Good stuff! I see one guy wearing a Sick t-shirt

Built a model of Everest last night

My partner asked ‘Is it to scale?’

No, it’s to look at

Failed attempt, didn’t get a full house, not even a line and I was a day late too

Oh well, ‘was a fun way to spend an hour or so on the bike

Hopefully they’ll be a winter event

Can’t help with the alpkit but my MSR pocket rocket has been faultless in the last 15 or so years

T'is a great read.

Also Journey to the centre of the Earth by the Cranes

Travis Cully's 'Immortal Class' is a fantastic read

I reckon I could get seven of those just stepping out of the door! (And if that kestrel comes back that'd be eight )

Praying it’s not ‘something dangled’...

Just got my bingo card through, looks interesting!
