We'd never heard of Wallowbarrow before, and it seemed to be situated in a huge area of the Lakes I'd never set foot in. The sun finally came out and we had a superb day climbing some fantastic routes on brilliant rock in this hidden corner of the Lake District.
Having travelled to the Lakes for three days of climbing, we spent much of Saturday walking around in driving rain wondering if the rock would ever dry. Worried that the only climbing we'd get done was on Langdale campsite's traversing wall, myself and Clay snuck up to Raven Crag in a late day rain break for a cheeky route late on.
Clay didn't mention that we had to ford a river to reach the base of the crag, but once we'd dried out the route was super. The pitches get better and better, its very rare to do so much traversing in such a great setting.
Three very long days attempting to kayak from Leamington Spa to London. After 135km, 96 portaged locks and a very long unlit 3km tunnel we reached the M25 bridge and declared the challenge over. An awesome adventure on England's hidden network of waterways.
The rain was falling hard as we struggled to extract the car from the muddy field. By the time we reached Raven Crag the route was pouring with water which made for an entertaining day's climbing.
There are many ways up Snowdon. I've climbed or walked almost all of them, but never the Watkin Path. Until today that was!
