About Me
I'm a journalist who has a growing obssession with the mountains. I run a blog http://blogs.liverpoolecho.co.uk/aintnomountainhighenough/ and head out for a wander or a scramble in the North West of Britain most weekends.
I also play dodgy guitar and sing too loudly around the house when in a good mood.
