We are Ben and Ness. We got married in April 2019 and in July we set off for a round-the-world tour we’d dreamed of for years.

We’ve been together since 2015 when we met through youth work, and bonded over a love for adventure and a fondness for Ness’ terrible sense of humour.

When we first got together, Ben had just started saving with the dream of leaving work and going travelling for a year. Very quickly Ness joined this dream, and so began a lot of saving and planning.

4 years later, having bought a house, got married and been refused the time off from work once, we finally did it…we left home!

We’re passionate about meeting new people and seeing new places. In particular, we love climbing and mountaineering, so hope to view the world through the lens of a rock climber, finding beautiful places to relax and climb. Hence the name, as to ‘rope up’ is to tie into a harness ready to climb.

Neither of us are particularly used to sharing everything we do, nor are we website builders, but our friends and family suggested we share our experiences, so we’re throwing ourselves into it!

We are lucky enough to love activities which take us to some of the most beautiful places in the world, and which give us a different perspective on places closer to home. Through this Ben developed a passion for photography, which is shown in these pages.

We hope you can enjoy some of our adventures with us!
