Heavy rain today - so I get a day off !! - I'm almost relieved as it has been a busy few days and I've got an excuse to interrupt the Alps training, what a shame !! A big contrast with the the recent good weather enjoyed by all of last weeks courses, especially Friday when Freya, Kevin and Peter were surprised to find such good rock climbing so close to home ( about 30 minutes drive away !) and on Saturday with Hugh and Kim who live even closer. Not many other teams out either leaving us the choice of routes for James and Cedd's lead course. Thanks also to Andrew and Murray for some enjoyable and entertaining climbing. Just feels that the season is getting towards the end and time to get out the mountaineering gear - big boots and warm clothes ! I'll be putting together my winter programme soon as I am already getting enquiries for some ice and snow courses - how time flies !
