ITV Yorkshire Walks - Breath of Fresh Air

ITV Yorkshire Walks - Breath of Fresh Air
Roseberry Topping

Recently filmed my latest walk for ITV Yorkshire with weatherman Jon Mitchell, which should be screened on Friday 3rd June on ITV Yorkshire's 'Calendar' programme.

We did a superb 6-mile walk from Great Ayton that took in Aireyholme Farm (where Capt Cook grew up), Roseberry Topping and Easby Moor. The weather was superb with great visibility, although very windy.

This is the 21st walk that we have done over the last 3 years in the Yorkshire region. To watch these TV walks, please visit http://www.innway.co.uk/itv-yorkshire-walks-a-breath-of-fresh-air.html

Here's some photos from our walk...

Mountain Leader assessment - Plas y Brenin

Mountain Leader assessment - Plas y Brenin
9th - 13th May 2011

Spent last week at Plas y Brenin (National Mountain Centre) in Snowdonia where I successfully completed my Mountain Leader (summer) assessment.

PYB is a great venue, with top instructors. The week was quite challenging, both physically and mentally, as you had to not only think about group management, the environment, navigation and steep ground but also had to always know precisely where you were on the map.

Monday - micro navigation day on Moel Siabod
Tuesday - steep ground day on the North Ridge of Tryfan
Wednesday to Friday - 3 day expedition on Snowdon, with 2 nights wild camping, as well as emergency ropework.

The weather was a mixture of blustery showers, low cloud and the occasional hail storm.

If you are looking for a guided mountain walk, 2-day wild camping expedition or a corporate team building day in the hills or mountains then get in touch http://www.teamwalking.co.uk/
