Rosa's first mini break

After a busy Christmas with the extended family it was lovely to enjoy a short break to Edale with Rosa's Grandma and Grandad. The weather was quite wild at times which made it all the nicer to return to a roaring fire at the cottage (well done Grandpa Alan).

Christmas at last

Its been an intresting finish to 2013 working as the Development Officer at the lake. I've enjoyed the challenge and had a number of successes, but as the saying goes 'a bad day on the hill will always beat a good day in the office'. I'm already planing goals and adventures for 2014. All the best.

Brimham in the sun

Made the most of a glorious Sunday and headed over to Brimham Rocks. Cracked Butress was full with climbing teams making the most out of the perfect conditions.

Activity club

As the nights draw in so the activity club season comes to an end for another year. Escaping the desk I ran the kayaking at the end of season regatta. Prizes were dished out and the buffet was enjoyed. Great day.

Climbing incognito

Another busy Saturday at the lake. NICAS in the morning and some blindfold climbing, then kayaking with the activity club in the afternoon all squeezed in before the most almighty downpour.  

Superstars

We ran sessions for the 'get on track' project today and were joined by a couple of superstars. Charlotte Hartley and Sophie Cox brought their groups to the lake. The group memebers are in the process of finding employment and from what I saw it shouldnt take long. Great sessions. 

New role

I've been stuck in the office this week having taken on the Outdoor Development role at the lake. However I did  manage to get out on the new MTB courses we've run which have been a huge success. No pics this week, but as we look forward to a good winter (fingers crossed) heres a few snowy shots.
