Terry was 23 years old when he climbed his first routes in the Peak District and his climbing career soon peaked at leading v.diffs! After a few years of being dragged up harder routes, he decided that the life of a and #039;crag rat and #039; was not for him. A weekend in Snowdonia in the late 1970s opened his eyes to other possibilities and he began to restrict his climbing activity to trips to Wales, the Lakes and the highlands and islands of Scotland, gradually extending his skills to include winter snow and ice-climbing. As he got older, the combination of a walk into the mountains, followed by a few hundred feet of steady scrambling to reach the summit, became his idea of a good day out. Over the past 45 years he has spent many a day on the crags and moors of the Peak District. and amp;nbsp;

Tom walked and climbed in the Peak District for over 50 years and had extensive Alpine and British mountaineering experience in both summer and winter. He developed a great affection for these Moorland places at all times of the year and in all weathers. Alone, or with friends, he realised how varied and interesting were the opportunities for having great and #039;hands-on and #039; fun using all the skills used in the bigger mountains.
