Despite plans to get away early, work intervened and Will and I found ourselves heading north with heavy clouds to scugdale for a quick session. Startting at Scots we messed about trying to remember what we had and hadn't done before and what holds were in an out for various flavours of Pingers. It was pretty warm at this time and quite empty only a couple of other people there. Will ticked a few routes he hadn't done, and I did some I seem to have 'ball-pointed' already. Of course we failed miserably on a Tony Marr (no not the guitarist in the Smiths) 4c, the start being desperate but after the first move very enjoyable,
We headed over the fence to Barkers and played about around Bilberry Crack area doing a few micro routes (boulder problems anywhere else!) but by this time we were being eaten alive. I put on all my defence clothing including midge net and it wasn't too terrible. Will suffered a bit. With no breeze it was getting a bit daft so we headed home about 9ish
