After the skin-full last night we got up late... Too late to do anything big, so we decided to head out to the coast so I could take Pete up some sunny rock (he was still feeling tired after yesterdays efforts and booze!). We drove out to Jack Scout Crag...
After baking on Burbage on Saturday we opted to seek out some shade on Sunday. Shining Clough sits high on the northern edge of Bleaklow about an hours walk...
After a good day at Wilton Quarry and with the glorious summer weather we decided on an impromptu BBQ. While we were finishing eating our tasty pork and apple sausages we heard some lively music (and obviously loud as it was a way off) coming from the centre of the village. Was someone having a party and had forgotten to invite us?
The forecast was for hot and the crowds were on their way. We decided to head the other way. We drove down to Wilton Quarry and watched hundreds of cars queuing on the north bound M6...
Has summer finally arrived?
Good weather means a trip into South Wales.
We intended to go to Sandbed Ghyll Crag tonight - the approach is described in the guidebook as "painfully steep but mercifully short (15 minutes)"...
A slight digression from our normal theme but I thought your readers might like these shots of the Tall Ships in the Mersey yesterday...
The cold weather and early finish gave us an opportunity to explore. We decided to take the road that explicitly says "No public right of way". Well, we're not public, so that obviously doesn't mean us...
