Been busy

Well it's been nearly 2 months since I wrote anything on here, but in my defense, I have been very busy, I spent most of July working in the Lake District. Lots of scrambling, navigation training, paddling on Windermere, climbing and abseiling. I even managed to get out for some personal climbing with friends at the Roaches (Staffordshire), Slipstones (Yorkshire) and in the Lakes too. I did manage to get up to Scafell Crag for the first time and solo the classic Botterill's Slab (VS). I'm now back in Cornwall and one of the first things I did was to go and jump in the ocean for a surf! Have been Coasteering today for Salt Air Adventures. Had a great time swimming, scrambling along/up cliffs and then jumping back into the sea from various heights. Summer is nice down this way, but the surf is generally weak/small. Went climbing too. Just a couple of hours at Roche Rock, which is a great little crag to stop off at if you are passing through. Unusal as there the remains of a chapel on top!
