Today we went climbing – wall to wall blue sky (note for Terry here: I told you it never rains in Lofoten).
Pete and Laetitia started out with Guns ‘n’ Roses (this led to many appalling renditions of Sweet November Rain, Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City; those of a certain age and musical disposition will know what I’m blathering on about); they finished off doing Gollum.

Rich and Paul started out with Gollum and finished off doing Gandalf – bit of a Lord of the Rings theme going on here me thinks….

Paul on Gollum

Me on Gandalf!
The other highlight (!) of the day was a second meeting with Sir Christian Bonington who also did Gandalf (that wizard has had a lot to put up with today) – Laetitia got very carried away and went all giddy in such esteemed company; the memory card on Pete’s camera has been well and truly Boningtoned……

Chris Bonington, also on Gandalf!
Finally, not wishing to leave Terry out of the proceedings for too long – tomorrow will be wall to wall sunshine again – yawn, yawn….

Wow!! weather looks fab again!! Climbing also looks great

Does it ever rain in The Lofoton Islands.???… must be global warming
Smiles all round in the last shot – given the view, why not eh?!
Gandalf is of course the large grey rabbit who lives in the hutch in my back yard.
Glad it is keeping fine for you. Hope your garden veg do not dry up in the hot sun here whilst you are not available to water them.
Does he have a beard & a pointy hat?
Who, the rabbit, the wizard … or the rock climb?
I was thinking of the rabbit. I don’t think a pointy hat would make a good substitute for a climbing helmet (unless it was reinforced).
