Ticking Over

Derwent Water - busy

 We got back from a hot Kalymnos to find it was just about the same temperature - and a lot more humid - in the UK, not nice. After just a few days we booked a couple of weeks in Penruddock on the northern edge of the Lake District and that was very pleasant once things cooled down a bit. Colin came over and we had a few good days climbing, clipping bolts in a couple of quarries - how times change. Everywhere was pretty busy but I guess that is the UK in summer, even though the schools aren't out yet.

Then back to Sheffield to work on our  French 180 days visas - currently we are failing badly. On a much more positive note we have booked remarkably 'cheap' flights and car-hire for Northern Norway for early August to work on Lofoten Rock III - that feels a bit better.

Turkey Time

We used to use Turkey as an escape from Schengen and the pitiful Brexit restrictions on our travel in Europe - thanks to the gullible souls ...
