I Have been out over the last couple of days running and climbing in the peaks. After a site visit at Peel Tower which is now a new venue that I can use for charity abseils, myself and Robyn headed over to check out Wimbury in the northern area of the Peaks. We managed to get a few things done and then headed over to the Climbers Club to stay the night.
The next day we got and there was a strong cold wind blowing, we headed over to Burbage Valley for some friendly bouldering – not like the photo below which is obviously very high ball and above one pad!!!
I’ve always wanted to run across Stanage edge but I have never really been that interested in running and to be honest i was always too busy climbing all the routes i could bag in day to make time to get to the top of the cliff with running shoes.
Today was the day however and getting changed outside the van was a chilly experience. We started up towards the popular end of Stanage edge and hit the trig point at the top, from there we ran to the other end of the cliff and the trig point there and reversed over steps. A great day of running and climbing in cold weather and making the most of it.
