A Day on Gandalf…!

Wednesday, 24th June 2009

Today we went climbing - wall to wall blue sky...

An enforced day off…!

Tuesday, 23rd June 2009

The end result; a Boys Chocolate desert!

No climbing today due to a morning of precipitation (a note for Terry here: precipitation is different to rain; it never rains in Lofoten)...

Three Swallows makes the Summer

Tuesday, 23rd June 2009

After our neighbour's Blue Tits had fledged, we thought we'd ended our own "Springwatch", but hidden in an outhouse, I found 3 pleading gapes!!!

Bare Blabaer

Monday, 22nd June 2009

Today we tackled another of the top 50 routes from the guidebook - Bare BlÃ¥bÃ¦r at Djupfjord. This is a very popular slab and crack climb approached by a beautiful walk...

Lofoten Islands

Sunday, 21st June 2009

We've arrived in the Lofoten Islands, or perhaps their other name is more fitting, the Magic Islands! What an amazing place - awesome granite islands seemingly straight out of the sea in the middle of nowhere...

A Thorn Amongst Roses

Tuesday, 16th June 2009

It need not concern us here how Terry came to be invited on Reg Pillinger's 'Private' meet at the Downes Hut for those who had made guidebook contributions over the years...
