Friday night saw
the last of the Glasgow Climbing Centres winter bouldering competition
which followed the same format of the last one…climbing with free beer! A
winning combination in anyone’s book! The men’s open was well set with
many of the problems being hard, well set and on small holds, which
proved to me to be too tricky given a two month break due to a tweaky
finger (which despite the rest seems not to have healed fully) and
skiing.
In the end William finished the comp in 3rd
and came out with a free chalk bag, but everyone else won beers. Some
of the lads took full advantage of the fact, especially asking me to get
more beers when I was at the front of the queue to save on time till
closing Vs. beer consumption.
On Saturday Andy,
Rambo, Michael and a few their work mates and I went to Carron Valley
on the mountain bikes. Conditions were cold, snowy but again after not
being on the bike for 2 months my legs felt it! The track was good and a
considerably better than the last time we were there, with no need to
haul/push/throw the bike over all the fallen trees! The forestry
commission have done a great job cleaning it up. It was however equally
as wet in the afternoon when it started throwing it down! Nothing out of
the ordinary happened but it was a great day out. It’s good to be
getting a bit of fitness and routine back. Commute back to work
commences soon/when it stops throwing it down!
