Wishing you all the very best for the new year.

As you may have noticed, my social media activity is often rather limited!! So rather than trying to do two pages badly, I'm going to concentrate on Latitude 534, which myself and my old friend Pete Marshall got up and running last year.

Thanks for all your support and looking forward to heading out to the hills and the crags with you in 2020

Looks they were having a blast at the Women's Trad Festival. Real shame to miss it again this year.

Nearly half way through their incredible challenge. Totally inspiring.

Success on the Aiguilles du Diable today. We had excellent conditions and stunning weather (there was a bit of planning involved, not just luck). These are our most technical summits so far. Loved every minute of the climbing.

Including, Mont Blanc du Tacul that gives us six summits today putting us on 40 (out of 82). Tantalisingly close to half way!

Great weekend climbing in Borrowdale, Lakes with Vertigirls. Their unwavering enthusiasm saw us through some pretty changeable weather.

First Hill Skills course of the year in Wharfedale, run in partnership with Mountain Training and Mosaic National Network. Really fun to have a younger element to the course.

Important clarification from the BMC.

This week, the Snowdonia National Park Authority called for mountaineers to ‘stay away’ from Snowdonia due to winter conditions. The BMC would like to clarify that the responsibility for decisions around what a mountaineer does in the mountain environment lies with the individual themselves.

The snow didn't last long in the village but mountains are looking good.

After 5 years, today was my last day with the wednesday walking group. My days out with these adults, despite their different abilities and needs, have been some of my most memorable days on the mountains and beaches of North Wales.

It is so frustrating to see projects like this being drained of funding at the same time that our increasingly sedentary society makes all of us vulnerable to loneliness, anxiety, depression and so many other health problems. Wide open spaces give us the room to breathe, and access to them is so desperately needed by the most vulnerable in our society, and indeed by all of us.

But I remain privileged for all that we have overcome, discovered and laughed about together.

The nights are drawing in and winter is coming fast. But it has been a pretty good autumn...

I loved every minute I spent in Nicaragua when my brother lived there. Really hope things improve soon.
