In 2009 we undertook our first major run with cellos - doing the Sheffield Half Marathon, stopping twice along the way (after approximately 6 miles and 9 miles) to play together.

Although we weren't to realise it at the time, this served as a useful precursor to our 2012 London Marathon!

In 2011 we joined together a trio of teenage cellists (Joseph, Helen and Alistair), who spent a weekend with us in the Peak District (climbing hills, rocks and playground equipment!) - they played as a trio, and also joined with us to play as a sextet at times too!

Here they are re-defining the "play" equipment in a pub where we had lunch...

In June 2010 we joined the biennial Sedbergh Music Festival for a day, playing with the local "Pepperpot Orchestra" (a fantastic group comprising local primary school children) in a morning concert, before ascending the tower of St Andrew's church (pictured), hauling our cellos up the outside, and giving a concert at the top! A video of us hauling the cellos up can be seen here...

We also played at a local landmark (the "Pepperpot" itself), while the audience had picnics. All in all, the day enabled us to re-connect with our roots (as we started off in an effort to support primary school music), and playing together with the young orchestra was one of our real highlights!

Occasionally we just like to get out into the countryside and play! The photo here shows us on top of Thorpe Cloud, a stunning limestone peak on the Derbyshire-Staffordshire border, but there are plenty other photographs of us in the Peak District (and a couple on a beach) here too.
