On a wonderful hot summer day we headed out to Crag Lough (below Hadrian’s Wall) after a full breakfast, thanks to Andy!
Our trip to Greatend Crag in Borrowdale to tick a few routes after work and to kick off the weekend early wasn't a good one!
Work gets in the way far too much! We should get out climbing after work everyday...
You would have thought we'd be knackered after a week in Spain learning to skydive, but no, on the Sunday after our return, glorious Lakeland weather greeted us.
Whilst near Madrid learning to skydive we had to take a day off from jumping out of aeroplanes to check out the superb granite slab climbing just 20 minutes north of Madrid at Pedriza.
It was the CC aspirant members meet this weekend at Ynys Ettws. Thankfully we were blessed on Saturday morning with another ace summer day!
After the past week of glorious hot sunny weather, today started overcast and with a forecast for thunder storms! Perhaps not the best day to head all the way over to Pillar.
Super Hot weather, and the lethargy set it, so we had a 'holiday day' at Kettle Crag. More like a holiday than regular Lakeland cragging because the weather was more like Spain than England.
With the amazing sunny weather continuing we took full advantage, hitched a ride with Max, Blue and his son Lewis, and headed up Eskdale to the superb Esk Buttress.
