Stanage Edge

Learning to Fly

After wandering up through France we made it back to Zeebrugge for the ferry and sailed into Hull the following morning to some refreshingly cool drizzle. Of course Blighty it the same as ever, unsettled weather, busy roads and of course the crowds.

Saltburn by the Sea

We have raced through all the usual jobs, doctors, dentists, opticians, garage (managed to buy a new car!), visit the parents and of course get out climbing in the Peak with the 'Usual Suspects'. Visits to Harpur Hill on the hotter days, clipping bolts, and trad climbing Stanage on the breezier days fitted the bill.
I have sold a heap of stuff on EBay and made a move towards shifting the thousands (c25,000) of slides I have amassed over the years - apparently the Mountain Heritage Trust might be interested.
Alan James (Rockfax) gave me a lesson in drone flying, the Mavic has a high quality camera and the drone is a great way of getting tricky crag shots and unique angles on action ones. 
Already we are thinking about the autumn - no plans as yet but we will be heading south before the end of the month - bring it on.
