Matt summits Ingleborough in Christmas Eve Snow

Ingleborough - Arkholme Chirstmas Eve 2010, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

A stuning morning to remember, I ascended Ingleborough with my eldest son and 14 friends from the village in high pressure with crisp snow on Friday, a joy to be alive, finishing with a stop at the Marton Arms before goind home to meet Santa. Lovely.

Recently we organized a event in the village hall which meant I had an excuse to play a bit of rock and roll on stage with my brother and friends - always a good time. The children stayed and supported us with all sorts of dance routines through the show. Great fun.
