Light Evenings and Climbing

After quite a few weeks on the road i now have a few weeks at home to coincide with the end of uni, the last few weeks have been fun but it was good to spend a weekend at home, Although this blog has climbing in the title the truth is there has been very litttle climbing at all. Due to weather and a rather busy timetable. We have managed to get to the climbing wall a few times but nothing worth writing about! After a chilled out day on Saturday watching the football we hit horseshoe quarry on Sunday for a bit of Clipping.

We headed over to some shiny new bolts and as we had forgot the guidebook jumped on some routes. I had a bit of a shocker and ended up lowering off the route, we then did another easier route (who knows what grade it was?) and headed home for the first BBQ of the year. All in all a great weekend and a welcome change from all the travelling.

Now the clocks have gone forward, it means we can get out in the evenings. i spent last night with a few of the lads on the SheepSkull Trail up at Blackamoor, It was the first time out on my new downhill bike and the track was perfect for getting used to the new bike on, I cant wait for varsity on Wednesday now! Also with the turn of the seasons the indoor wall can finally be swapped for the bouldering mat and Burbage. Chris and I bouldered at Burbage loads last year and i can wait to get up there tonight.
