  • OMM Rotor Primaloft One Smock verses the Montane Fireball Primaloft Eco Smock

    OMM Primaloft top verses the Montane Fireball. Ok, so lucky me, I have been supplied, a few months ago, with a Montane Fireball Primaloft Top and an OMM ­­­­­Rotor Primaloft Smock to test. I thought, cheeky as I am, that I would test them both & write an article which discusses both tops,...

  • Fishing With Your Feet

    I went recently to the sands of Arnside in Lancashire to see if the ancient art of ‘wet-footing’ worked, where flounder can be caught just by standing on them. Yes, not a hook in sight. And no licence needed, as with all coastal fishing (apart from certain species & areas –...

  • Brantfell bouldering.

    I was up Brantfell in Windermere last night. It’s a regular bouldering haunt of mine, as I used to live here & still work here. So its quick access for me. For your true boulder, its maybe not quite hard or overhanging enough….. but for me, just an all-rounder it offers great views over Windermere...

  • Patterdale to Keld

    Patterdale to Keld, 3 Days on the Coast to Coast It all began with a telephone call in February from my cousin Desmond and his wife Shonagh. They very kindly asked if I would like to accompany them on the Coast to Coast Walk from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay with a group of friends. The answer was...

I thought, cheeky as I am, that I would test them both & write an article which discusses both tops, their uses & then put them head to head against...

Went climing up Swindale last night with Mike Elliot. We had a mission to do a couple of E2′s, one on the ‘One Step Beyond’ Slab called ‘One Last Step’, you have to climb Dog Leg Crack to get to it, but after doing that and getting pretty pumped, I thought about traversing into it, until a gust of wind buffeted...

Built in 1857 as a grocers, the Outdoor Warehouse has been an outdoor shop for over 3 decades. Here’s the frontage in all its glory with David posing as a scale model. Posted via email from outdoorwarehouse’s posterous

Went climbing with Barney Whiteside last night, should have been running in the Saunders Mountain Marathon in the Klets class, but didn’t feel up to it, so opted for working in the day, to clear up a few things, then off to White Ghyll Langdale last night. We did a route called ‘Perhaps Not’ & on the 2nd & 3RD Pitch...
