Paul and I had planned a trip to Scotland, but the weather forecast was very poor. Such a shame after the weeks of sunny weather we've been having recently. But, not to be deprived of our sport completely I headed down to the Peak to join Paul for some climbing on my least favoured rock; Grit! It seems to me that grit is either steep and strenuous or unprotected...

Yeah - "We are family, I got all my sisters with me..." Well, that's how the song goes, so me and Caroline made our way over to Bedfordshire to Saskia's place for a weekend of sibling fun.
After two days of hard gardening it was time to do some hard climbing to justify calling ourselves climbers! But with a poor holiday forecast (thundery showers!), where to go?
Our garden is a nightmare and a pleasant place at the same time!
We've tackled everything in two mad days of full-on 'extreme gardening'. That is, getting it all done to minimise the number of climbing days used up.
