With a glorious forecast Karl, Mike, Jamie, me, Peri and Crofty went to Slipstones last Saturday. We were all overdressed (in varying degrees) for the Summer like weather and even complained it was too hot – in March! We were not alone the red goat had gone on mass as well.
Lots of bouldering, some roped climbing & lots of sleeping by various members of the party.
Mike chose a super pumpy HVS 5b for the first climb of the day – good effort. I backed off a VS & let Mike and Jamie take over. Great day to be out.
Sunday it was an early start (groan) and off to the Peak District for the Edale skyline. Simon & I were running/walking independently. Having overtaken him on the first hill – he over took me whilst going along the first edge. I had almost caught up with him about 1/3 of the way around when I did a superman dive going through the forestry section – doh! Didn't see him again until the finish. Thanks to Gav & Justine for the support going up Mam Tor. Glorious weather for the race. Main mission accomplished – not timed out and not last to finish! The fall has resulted in a bicep injury which developed on Tuesday – hoping I may have enough movement to test my arm later next week.
