I am the fountain of all fell knowledge….said no-one ever, and that doesn’t bother me cos that’s not what this is site is all about.

I do some fell-running – quite a lot at the moment as it happens – and I also do some other things – climbing, for example. This is a way of documenting what I’ve managed to get done in my free time. It started off as a simple ‘blogspot.com’ enterprise and has now found itself squatting in less salubrious surroundings thanks to the good lads at SteepMedia. Cheers Dave!

Anyway take from it what you will – metaphorically that is, there’s a good sport – and subscribe if you feel you must. If you spot me at a race/crag/mountain-top-vista/layby-in-my-trusty-stead-Jean-Claude and have taken exception to my views then please don’t feel the need to tell me, ignorance is bliss, though I do apologise for you if you’re the easily offended type and I hope that you’ll forgive me.
