Now based in the Durance Valley in the Ecrins, I ski and climb all year round amongst other mountain activities.
I love big mountain routes as much as trad and sport and big alpine days out bagging summits with easy rock pitches i is much more fun than working single pitch training routes in the valley. I like smaller 5 to 8 pitch routes lower down for quieter days out before the snow melts high up. Big high walks with friends peak bagging for fitness and a feeling of awareness of the big kids that is the alps is as also part of my life and a swim in an alpine lake or for four is also a favourite day out, even better with a bivi night too. I also have a passion for swimming outdoors in the surrounding lakes. I prefer to be outdoors but climb at Warrington when in U.K. in the winter and Guillestre CAF wall in France. Favourite local crags are Mont Dauphin and top peas this year were the Dibona and Soreiller although it’s hard to not love the Pic d Asti.
I also love trad in Morrocco and summers are Gogarth and Llanberis. Cornwall Sardinia Kalymnos Spain Mallorca France Provence Ecrins Ailefroide Queyras and Morocco are amongst my go tos.

About My Photography
I’ve got thousands of average photos of climbing all over the alps and U.K. but love most of all taking photos of flowers through all the seasons.
Winter project this year is to catalogue my alpine flower pics in French English and Latin..
