Wanders in Wales

Did the 117 mile Dragon Ride Cycle down near Porthcawl/Bridgend - 7hrs 13mins/17mph, made the top third of the field. A great, well organised race with lots of long steady climbs and fast swooping descents. Pity I fell off the bike 3 times though!!!

A day on Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, visiting Crispin Flower and family. then headed off to Snowdonia, where I climbed Snowdon via the airy and hairy Crib Goch; and then 5 of the Welsh 3000 footers on the Carneddau range from the lovely Idwal Cottage Youth Hostel.

Three Ferries Cycle

A cracking day out. The wee ferry over to Dunoon; round to Colintraive for lunch; over to Bute and round the island to Rothesay; over to Wemyss Bay and back up to McInroy's Point for the car.

Ben Wyvis

An afternoon's wander (almost) up Ben Wyvis.

May Scrambles in Skye

Wandered up Dun Caan (443m), the highest point on the Isle of Raasay on Sat with Sue and Gordon; and then conquered the amazing Clach Glas-Blaven traverse on Sun with Bumper, Brian and Chris - what a route!!!!. Sgurr Nan Gillean on Monday in fantastic weather up the so-called "tourist" route - brilliant.
