Looking Back At 2013

Well it's that time of year again.......
From a personal perspective I've never known a year quite like it, much that was in life is no more and there's pain & grief. However, this has been tempered by new beginnings which have provided cause for joy & optimism.
Once again this year's review will simply take the form of a collection of photographs from each month of 2013.
Thanks for reading and in 2014, watch this space...................
But for now, wishing you all the Peace & Joy that this special season brings

January
After a day on Raise in full winter conditions with the In2venture guys - caught this superb view of Blencathra from Stannah


February
Other worldly on High Street - so many good photos from this day



March
Three day trip to Snowdonia with Alan Rainford, stayed at Pete's Eats - this was our first visit to Wrysgan Slate Mine


April
View from a boat - what a superb day out on Ullswater

May
Highest I've ever been on my own two feet, Prada Llana & Alto del Chorillo in Spain's Las Alpajurras

June
Fantastic expedition with the In2venture Community - Loch Morar

July
Summer '13 was excellent. Loads of work with school groups, this is the In2venture instruction team from the summer on High Pike, North Lakes

August
Wrysgan for real, with a group for the first time. Really enjoyed 2 weeks working out of Llyn Gwynant campsite

September
Cloud inversion on Grassmoor

October
Stunning weather at our local climbing crag - Headend Quarry, North Cumbria

November
We went on holiday to Torridon for the last few days in October, early November. This is dawn over Loch Torridon. There were stacks of good photos from this trip, we also had three days in Cwmorthin slate mine but this dawn image has precluded putting any of them in the review

December
Finished the year out with some canoe coaching, locally, on Derwent Water
