Back to Spider - Spider Hole
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. MLep navigated well @JonnyC: Following a hard to resist invite I met the boys at whitewalls for a welcome breakfast and gear sort before driving up the road to derelict pub. Although the morning had started fresh and crisp, by the time we were walking to the cave entrance the true Wales wind and dampness had kicked in and it was a welcome relief to take shelter in the entrance chamber. After a few expletives and raw knuckles the gate ...
A pleasant autumnal wander up the old man and back @JonnyC: Finding our Sunday slightly more free than originally intended we treated ourselves to a posh breakfast and drove to Coniston, parking in the top car park.

Autumnal walk past Brothers Water, over Hartsop above How around to Dove Crag, a nice Dinner in Priest's Hole before dropping out through Dovedale back to Hartsop @JonnyC: Having toyed with many and various configurations for this wander, we ended up heading out of Sykeside past Brothers Water to the lower end of the Hartsop Above How ridge. 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
