Has just returned from one of the best adventures she has ever had, if not THE BEST.

Living with an Inuit family near Qik, Baffin Island, walking the 97km of the Akshayuk Pass from Qik to Pang...But double hauling over the first week meant we walked over 140km in 5 days. Exploring the Norman glacier and off the map...navigating crevasse fields in a near white out with rockfall booming all around but lost in the clag (the view, not us). Climnbing Mt Battle, doing uncountable ice cold glacial river crossings. Living in Baffin for 4 weeks, walking over 300km in total.

I love mountaineering, walking and climbing in the UK hills in summer and winter. I've been kayaking for 11 years now and took up caving a few years ago.

I have L2 KAYAK & canoe coach (old syllabus - Sept 2006)
Single Pitch Award (Nov 2010)
ML Training (Sept 2006)
L1 Cave Core Skills Assessment (Apr 2008)
L2 Cave Leader Training (May 2008)

Currently working towards ML (summer) assessment.
Aiming to do IML & MIA.

I live on the Wirral but spend all my spare out in the hills.

This year I've spent:
33 days walking in Snowdonia
26 days walking in Canada
17 days walking in the Lake District
2 days walking in Scotland

7 days climbing in the Lake District
4 days climbing in Snowdonia
2 days climbing in the Peak Distict
1 days climbing in Scotland

Location
