I am always looking for something different to add to my walking and one of those things is scrambling (A cross between climbing and walking) A couple of years ago I had a near fall which shock my confidence moving over steep ground and was keen to get my "mojo" back. The week in Skye helped a lot and the next part was a couple of days with Rob Johnson of Expeditionguide.com doing some introductory scrambles. The days were something of a contrast with the first day being a hot, sunny scramble up the Griben ridge and descending down Seniors Ridge. The second day was wet and windy and it was decided that the East Ridge of Moel Siabod was the best option. I have been on courses with Rob before and find a patient and knowledgeable guide. The course had the desired effect and feel more confident on grade 1 ground, now about these grade 2 scrambles......
