Even thought I have only been writing this blog for a few months, my year has been filled with all types of trips and adventures that have created some great memories.
However, It didn't start out as planned, having to recover from a newly fractured leg that I broke whilst powder skiing in Japan. As a result, I spent the first few months on the new year recovering and doing a bit of office work at the Bowles Outdoor Centre where I worked.

However, my leg soon healed and the doctors said I was allow to start doing low impact exercises to strengthen the muscles and bone. So lots of cycling and swimming was in order.

I hope 2015 brings me more adventures in the mountains and I have set myself some pretty tough goals to aim for in the upcoming 12 months. I will try my best to keep this blog as up to date as possible with all my comings and goings from North Wales and thanks for reading.
