This weekend, I have not only learnt the delights of Bar Pot and Grey Wife, but also, how committed and absolutely crazy my friend Colin is. Seriously, this man is nutty. Caving is one thing, cave diving is another thing...
The plan for the weekend involved three choices for the Saturday. We (Rach and Colin) ended up taking the second choice which was Bar Pot, one of the simpler entrances into the Gaping Gill system...
At 9am it was gloriously sunny, at 9.30 it was getting decided over-cast, at 10am it was quite cool. We decided a strategic journey south would give us a better opportunity to do some climbing...
While Laetitia and I were are Warton Quarry today I got a chance to get really close to and photograph this beautiful dragonfly...
One again I made the trip South (Hampshire) to meet Colin for the TLI two up (the rest of the UK national time trial championship)...
At last, a sunny day in the Lake District coincides with when I'm home. After a day in front of the laptop, I had a quick look at the guide and decided we should go to Long Scar...
As a cure for a hangover and to work an appetite up for the now legendary "Ross" cooked breakfasts, Sarah, Andy, Anna, Ian, Sabiene, Laetitia & Pete took a stroll along the Eden river...
Not dancing, not singing and not even "Minging in the Rain"...
"The weekend looks set to be wet again." says Ian, "Lets get out Friday evening if it stays dry..."
