This week’s unusual venue for work was actually Devizes.
A delivery near Matlock turned into a nightmare
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.
This week’s weird-work-venue is this silver face. But where am I this time?
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.”
Terry likes to climb Gillercombe Buttress about this time of year as a nice warm up to the season.
My friend Keri invited me to the Lakes for the weekend and mentioned something about a bit of running, staying in a nice B & B in Wasdale, (one of my favourite places) and going to the pub, what could be better and more relaxing…
