The Beginning....

Ok this is more for personal reference than of public interest, but i know a few people have blogs and i thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.


It starts with having been on Curbar edge today bouldering with Tingle. As is always the case when we climb it began with a breakfast. The pool cafe in Hathersage. We eventually made it onto the rock at nearly midday. We took it fairly easy ticking off quite a few easy problems and trying one Peak 'classic,' Trackside. Its quite a good problem and seems soft for the grade. Although i didn't quite manage to top out I'm sure it will go another day. All in all conditions are perfect on the grit at the moment and i also managed to get in another good session on Friday to Burbage south to make the most of a day off.


Saturday was spent riding some downhill in Wharncliffe. There were just the four of us and we spent the day sessioning the rock garden on Nemba and riding a few other tracks. Another chilled out day and we made it back into Sheffield for dark.
This weeks starting to look busy already with uni work and an Uplift day at Hamsterly Forest. No doubt if the weather stays as good as it has been I'll be getting out onto the grit as well.
Right I'm off to book some holidays for the summer.....
