Arcteryx Alpha FL Jacket

February 11, 2015/ Anne Ensoll

Spring came to the Langdale valley today. There is still snow on the tops, but in the valley we had beautiful sunshine, blue skies and warm rock. SPA assessment with two candidates, Nigel & George.

Shelter Crag, Bowfell, 6th February 2015

February 06, 2015/ Anne Ensoll

After a week of wall to wall sunshine it was a bit of a shock to have some mist today. This is a new crag for me - Shelter Crag just below Three Tarns on Bowfell. Great venue, did two routes, the best one being 'The Big Issue' grade IV/5, 3 stars. Good fun with Russell Fralick.

Winter in the Lake District

February 04, 2015/ Anne Ensoll

We've been having a fantastic spell of weather here in the Lakes - sub-zero nights, snow on the hills, and crisp blue sky days. Perfect for getting on the gear and heading out for adventures.
