A pleasant trip into Spider to fettle some new SRT gear, stretch the legs and experiment with a novel GoPro mount

A trip into box in line with AL tradition for a bit of an explore and some festive refreshments @JonnyC: After a not so pleasant change in the rain we made swift work of traipsing through the woods to the Entrance. After crawling in through the backdoor we headed off in a fairly straight line for the cathedral. After admiring its form we took the familiar path off to the right through the gloopy mud. We explored for a while crossing both familiar and new territory and vowed to get ourselves a surve ...

An exciting trip to the promised land on a wet Wales afternoon.

We started our ascent which we took gently so as not to over exert. We charged AI with the nav at which he did very well, he navigated us along various featur ...

A bright start to our last day took us to Cornwall and up onto Bodmin moor. With an approach over Rough tor we ascended Brown Willy to be rewarded by clear Kernow views

Moving amongst the many soldiers out on manoeuvre on Dartmoor we did a cross country route on bearings to the top of High Willhays the highest point in Devon rather than the normal popular tracks

Our final hill to complete our week long tour of the 39 historic county tops of England was in our home county of Somerset. A surprise gesture was a very welcome sign on top of the Beacon placed by avid supporters of our challenge - thanks gentlemen and a massive thank you to everyone who supported our challenge, in turn saving lives in the future by supporting the work of SAVES

In the historic county of Middlesex, this peak is very suburban
