The Last Mountain

On August 8, 2018 By kirstyr5 Comments

Hello hello hello! A quick update as we've just arrived in the highlands of Scotland ready for our final climb of Charlie's 10. Tomorrow we'll be heading up Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. Pretty sure it's the only part of the country where it's raining (!) but we like a challenging walk. …

Ok - if there is an award for the longest and most overdue mountain report WE HAVE WON.  It is now over a year since we completed mountain 9 and only now are we finally on here telling you all about it.  HUGEST APOLOGIES!! Tryfan in Snowdonia was number 9 and what a brilliant peak …

Ok, apologies if you've given up ever hearing from us again.  Life has a way of taking over.  But, with exams and revision out of the way we are finally able to bring you the stories of mountains number 8 and 9 of our challenge. So - mountain number 8 first, which we completed last …

We’re nearly there – 2 to go!

On March 9, 2017March 9, 2017 By kirstyr3 Comments

I think most of you must be getting used, by now, to the ridiculously irregular updates from this blog.  All my fault i'm afraid - life has a way of taking over! But with the sun out this morning, walking weather on its way (hopefully) and plans afoot for peak number 9, it felt the right …

Mountain 7 – Ingleborough

On October 7, 2016November 7, 2016 By kirstyrLeave a comment

If you've been following our progress over the last 12 months or so, you will know that by May of this year we had succeeded in climbing six of the ten mountains we had set ourselves.  Over half way through.  For mountain number 7, we had decided to head up to Yorkshire, where Charlie grew up, …

Mountain 6: Slioch

On October 4, 2016October 4, 2016 By kirstyr3 Comments

So, with 5 mountains done by the end of April we were half way through our challenge.  What an amazing time we'd already had.  But for mountain number 6 we decided to set our sights a little further - the Northern Highlands of Scotland and our first Munro. Charlie's darling cousin Lucy and her wonderful husband …

Mountain 5 – Snowdon

On September 12, 2016September 13, 2016 By kirstyrLeave a comment

Ok - so mountain number 5.  If you remember, back at Easter we'd set off for Wales and  scrambled up two brilliant mountains - Cadair Idris and Moel Elio - peaks 3 and 4.  Our final walk of the trip was going to be Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales at 1085m or 3,560 feet. Issie had already climbed it once before …

Hello all. Somehow it is now September, the children are back at school and at last there is a chance to tell you about the mountains we have been scaling for Charlie over the last few months. We are SO SORRY it's taken so long to update you - believe it or not we have climbed …

Mountain 4 – Moel Elio

On June 22, 2016 By kirstyr1 Comment

Ok, so we're kicking off with an apology. We've been a little quiet here on the blog recently - sorry! Mainly though, it has to be said, because we've been out in the hills ticking off peaks. (If you're on Facebook or Instagram you may have seen some of our pictures over recent weeks.) We had an amazing trip up …

On April 28, 2016 By kirstyrLeave a comment

Hi all - quick post to give you some information about the peak in Yorkshire we'll be climbing at the very start of the summer holidays.  This is going to be a good one to bring the little people on - not as taxing as Snowdon or Scafell Pike - but lovely all the same! We …
