It’s great having a birthday on or very near a weekend… your birthday can very easily turn into birthmanydays. 🙂
After a poor weather start, Terry & Everett were soon facing the 30+ °C temperatures of the Nevada desert.
Gerikbayiri is a fantastic hot rock destination...
We haven’t been on a hot rock bolt clipping holiday for ages, so when we heard Elsie was planning on going to Geyikbayiri near Antalya, Turkey, with her friend Koon we decided to crash their party.
Next week we are off to Geyikbayiri for a week of sunny bolt clipping with Elsie and Koon…
On a damp and drizzly Saturday in the South Lakes we drove up north to Borrowdale to check out the conditions.
We met up with Paul to try out some of the routes from his Dovedale post. Although the weather, typically after having been gloriously sunny all of the working week, was a little grey and quite chilly.
It was still sunny on Sunday, and even warmer, and we realised we hadn’t had tea and cake for ages and ages and ages, so I decided a crag very close to a cafe was required…. Pot Scar just above Feizor.
As Haskett Smith recorded in 1894 in his Climbing in the British Isles, “… There are times even in the Lake District when the rain ceases and the sun shines, and it is then that the climber should gambol upon this crag.”
