Summer?
Having had a busy few weeks with uni work and the odd day working on the mobile Climbing Wall, time had passed quite fast, The weekend was approaching and i knew this was my last free weekend until mid June, I knew that i had to make the most of it. Fortunatly the weather was on my side for a change and the weekend brought the hottest weather of the year so far. A balmy 20 degrees had people pulling out the shorts and getting out. Friday was spent with an afternoons bouldering at Stoney Middleton, Although i hadnt bouldered there before it was pretty obvious lots of people had as the rock was supper polished and finding good footholds was difficult to say the least, We eventually decided it was a bit hot to climb and rigged up the slackline. Saturday was spent on the Downhill bike in Wharncliffe woods, there was only Will and I who could ride so we headed up with Tom who is currently nursing a broken collerbone to get some photos. the resuting photos dont even look like Britain never miond Wharncliffe, the tracks were running super fast and the dry dusty trails brought alot of people out with their bikes. After a fairly short day we did what everyone else seemed to be doing and spent the evening in the Garden with the BBQ. On sunday Lucy and I took advantage of the good weather to go bouldering up at the rarely visited Back Tor and Dovestones Tor. the climbing was quite the opposite of Fridays with ploish or crimps to be seen, instead it was a good workout of sloper technique, Despite a severe lack of motivation we stayed up there for a few hours and topped out a few problems before enjoying the long walk down. On the way home i swung by a rather busy endcliffe park for a quick BBQ with some mates from uni, All in all a pretty good weekend, Shame i wont get the chance do it all again until September!
