It has been fairly mild over much of the UK for the last few days. Despite this Tony and Dave managed a week mountaineering/climbing in Scotland. They managed ascents of 'Left Twin' at Aonach Mor, 'Gardah Gully' on Ben Nevis and a brief trip to the Cairngorms over the last few days.

Further a field Neil Stevenson has been out climbing near his home town of Stavanger in Norway, the ice conditions being good on the higher shorter routes apparently (pictured).

Back in the Peak District I was out on Kinder Scout yesterday enjoying the mild weather between the showers. For those able to nip out mid week there has definately been some good gritstone conditions over the last couple of days. Unfortuately, the next few days look like they could be a mixture of sunshine and showers..
