Weekly Roundup – Scorcher in the Lakes

23rd April 2018

We moan when its wet and we moan when it’s too hot. This weekend it was too hot!

However, the heat didn’t stop our adventurous summiting 10 summits on the Coledale 10 Peak Challenge in the beautiful Lake District. Luckily a cool breeze on the summit took the edge off the heat and it turned out to be one of the best days walking we have ever had in the Lakes. The views were simply stunning…and it wasn’t too bad in Snowdonia either.

Coledale 10 Peak Challenge  The Coledale Challenge is a big day! 10 summits (Wainwrights), 13-miles and a whopping 1,800m+ of ascent. That’s a big day! And in the warm conditions it only made the challenge tougher. 22 clients took on...

Moel Siabod and the Daer Ddu Ridge – In Pictures

21st April 2018

When it comes to short and exhilarating mountain days in Snowdonia, then the ascent of Moel Siabod via the Daear Ddu Ridge has to be at the top of the list. Quiet, challenging, exciting with unbelievable views, the Black Earth Ridge is an easy grade 1 scramble that really delivers in every way. The Daear Ddu Ridge is less crowded than the popular Snowdon and Glyderau ridges, giving you the opportunity to escape the masses and enjoy a peaceful scramble on one of Snowdonia’s hidden gems. Moel Siabod and the Daear Ddu Ridge, in our opinion, is the best ridge for those who want to gain some experience and tackle their first grade 1 scramble.

The Daear Ddu ridge is located on Moel Siabod’s eastern side; an easy 3km walk from the small village of Pont Cyfyng near Capel Curig. The easy to follow path takes you through beautiful woodland and along the Afon Llugwy...
