In 2005 I was fortunate enough to be part of the delegation at the 117th IOC Session in Singapore. On return to London, the area designated for development into the venue for the London 2012 Olympic is slowly changing in preparation for the summer olympiad in that year.

Docklands Cycle Ride Docklands Cycle Ride

Video duration: 423 seconds

A 15km cycle ride to London City Airport via the 'summit' of the Beckton Alps. This face of London has changed greatly even in since I moved to East Ham in 1993. The ascent of the 'Alps' is the closest thing to a mountain peak in my 'manor' but its isolation makes the views extensive over London.

In my last year working in the London Borough of Newham a colleague asked if I would accompany him and a party of students on an A-Level visit to Iceland. Wanting a geomorphologist in tow, I jumped at the chance to engage in this hectic but altogether fascinating visit to one of the World's most amazing countries.

The OFC Wasdale meet was a wet affair. Happily it didn't stop the day being totally enjoyable. We arrived at the summit of the A6 in cloudy weather with little in the way of views. Then it rained.

Tryfan and The Glyders Tryfan and The Glyders
Posted by: fellrunning

Video duration: 448 seconds

After a cold and wet Christmas Eve in 2004 and an ascent of Tryfan and Glyder Fach a Boxing Day return was in order. My reconnoitre gave me the confidence to attempt a daring snow filled scramble and continuation around the Glyders with a chance meeting to fulfill the day. The route was cold and in snow but with all the right equipment it was a fantastic day in virtually new territory for me...

Walking in Lakeland is always a joy. Walking in snow and cold conditions I love. Traversing Swirral Edge is one of those longed for moments and crossing Striding Edge just adds to the adventure. Doing it all twice in the same afternoon was just joy! Join Peter Burgess and Andy Wallace on this day walk in heaven!
