The good weather turned during the week and we were faced with the prospect of a miserable weekend. The end of the week saw torrential rain and gale force winds... not really climbing weather. Saturday was spent at Hillsborough for the football. We were lucky enough to win some tickets to the hospitality and enjoyed a Champagne reception and 3 course meal prior to the game. Unfortunatly as far as a Wednesday fan is concerned the game was garbage and we were fortunate to slavage a point against 9 man MK Dons. With a new manage in this week in Gary Megson lets hope results will turn round.
Sunday was spent at Descend Hamsterly near Darlington, it was the first time i have ridden these tracks and after an early start we arrived to high winds and torrential rain. The uplifts made the weather bearable as we didnt have to push up but it took all our motivation to get back out on the bikes after dinner. the tracks at hamsterly are pretty good with a flat out top section and more technical and steep bottom sections including a pretty interesting rock garden which caused a few issues!
I will be spending the early part of this week doing uni work before heading up to Scotland Winter Climbing next weekend,
