Miracle on the A53

25 miles of diesel in the tank yet Hans-Peter, the most temperamental motor vehicle in the history of locomotion manages to bang out 45 miles. I thought I was going to be spending an evening in the back 1 night too early. So, Hans gets to Leek, pick up Mulcahy, sleep at Charlottes (Thank you mother and father Hudson), pick Dan up from Sheffield onto the Cliff or Alms.

Now, when you arrive at a bone dry almscliffe with a cool, gentle breeze blowing over it you can only expect one thing...... mint conditions, however, they were toss. Not too fret though and we move on to the County.



First stop, Kyloe- wow, what a lovely spot. Good days bouldering with some kyloe classic ticks. Next stop Manzils of Morpeth, ye what. Yup, met up with a friend from uni and had a tasty tasty indian followed by some scrabble and beer. Onto to Shaftoe with sufficient wind to power Hans Peter around the globe. Poor poor conditions at Shaftoe, would have probably been more appropriate to have a pair of 'pons and axes.

Slipstones.... Not sure exactly how we ended up here but we did and managed to salvage a day from nowhere with a brilliant afternoon session.



Message to self- I think I have an mild addiction to coffee.

First Post...

Hi there, Welcome to my blog.


I'll hopefully be posting about my uni life, climbing exploits, any videos I've made and just general ramblings.

Having eaten twice my body weight in cheese on Christmas Day I'm feeling considerably healthier today. Not sure how long this will last as my brother, mother and myself are heading to Uncle's and Auntie's for the usual Boxing family get together. No doubt there will be copious amounts of amazing food!

Weather permitting there will be a North Yorkshire hit tomorrow followed by my first trip to the County, had a quick watch of classic 'Slackjaw' DVD 'Stick It' to get the juices flowing.
