As always this is a crazy time to be leaving the hectic summer season to run an overseas expedition - but as usual that is what I´m doing!

The last few weeks have been really busy with climbing courses, a large scale activity week for a local school, private guiding work and a variety of mountain biking courses. I´ve been assisted by Dan, Craig, Cal and Simon who have all been helping to keep the wheels turning. Thanks to you all.

Then of course it´s not ideal to finish the days instructing to finalise packing for a month overseas - but I´ve had to do that too! This years expedition is to climb Cotopaxi in Ecuador. This is a first visit to the country for me and I can´t wait as I´ve heard so many great things about it.

While I´m away Cal will be manning (or womaning!) the phones and we can still help you realise that great adventure - so please get in touch and we´ll do all we can to help.
