On Friday I had the privilege of Guiding David on the Welsh 3000s challenge raising money for a charity.

With logistics sorted on the Thursday evening, all that was left was a early rise to start moving at 4am from the valley, the weather forecast was for conditions to deteriate as the day moved on. We started well and even had some sun out. But by the time we got to the top of the first climb of the final section after leaving the Ogwen valley, that weather had pushed in and made what is one of the hardest mountain challenges in the UK even tougher with constant rain and very gusty winds.

But David kept battling through and we finished in a time of about 17 hours, which includes getting up to and off the first and final peaks.

A huge congratulations to David getting it done and hope the recovery goes well.

Great to be out guiding on Climb South West's Winter traverse of Dartmoor last weekend.
Hoping for a sunny weekend again as I head to the Coast tommorow.

It's International Mountain Day today. Not sure what the last Mountain i was on last, but was probably in the Alps.

I struggled with some stuff this year especially with being active posting on social media.

But here is a pic looking back to the summer, helping to lead a group up Yr Wyddfa on there final leg of a 3 peaks challenge for charity MNDA.

Hopefully more from me shortly, with some planned Mountain adventures and other stuff.

If anyone is free on the Winter Solstice on the 21st, I fancy doing something.

Nice to have the Sun out finally this weekend. Helping SDCC on there final Ten tors training weekend.

Whatever your goals for this year. It all starts in the planning stages and then the processes needed to get you to your end goal.

Enjoy the journey to your goal, but also think about the journey after.

**Postponed till later in the year**

Guided run in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) on 6th January 2024 to start the year.

I previously posted about this but was a bit disorganised before xmas. Will tag everyone who showed interest before, or anyone interested then please comment on post.

Exact location tbc depending on weather, but will be in the half marathon distance aprox and will be walking any uphill.

Went for a little run on Dartmoor yesterday on the hunt for some snow. It wasn't thick but a good enough covering to have some fun.
Was pretty cold to start until I got going, but was rewarded with some great views and equally awesome skies.

Out for a run on Exmoor yesterday.
Now I'm sure this sketchy bridge had sides on it when I first ran near it.

Who would be up for a guided mountain run early in the new year. Either in Snowdonia or the Brecon beacons, nothing too crazy but more of a introduction to the mountains.

More details to follow. But potential dates 5,6 or 7th Jan depending on interest.
Show of hands if you might be interested.🖐

Had a little explore on the Quantocks yesterday although a little wet at times, was good to get a view of the Bristol Channel and hear some Stags roaring.

Autumn is a great time for getting out and doing some exploring, as well as starting to think about future plans for the coming year.
