Walking with Guests

I was delighted to receive these photos of a weekend of walking with a couple of delightful guests from the Gilpin Lodge Hotel. Leon and Sara are Americans living and working in London and we had two big mountain walks a few weekends ago. On the Saturday we conquered Pike o' Blisco and Crinkle Crags from Great Langdale and the photo above is taken on the descent via the Band, with Crinkle Crags in the background. On Sunday, Leon and I made a brisk ascent of Dow Crag whilst Sara made the most of the luxurious surroundings at the Gilpin Lodge. The best of both worlds!

Canoeing with Wild River

We have had a great weekend out in tandem canoe with Wild River and a group of 4* canoe assessment candidates. Lovely to meet you all and good luck. Saturday was spent tackling the Eamont in the North of the Lake District and Sunday, as you can see, was a lovely sunny day to spend on Lake Windermere and the Leven. Thanks to Sean for inviting us along to take part - anybody looking for some excellent canoe or Kayak coaching need look no further.
