Here we go......................

I've made it to Switzerland. I promise when my PC arrives I'll up date with some photos of the last few weeks road trip. Well I walked up to the Miroir d'Argentine and wow that has got to be done it's awesome............ then the inevitable thunder and lightening so off I popped back to the car before the pea size hail statred.  There are many crags around where I now live in a small village of Antagnes  in the Vaud canton of Switzerland it's just off the bottom of lake Geneva. More adventures await I feel........

The Shire

I haven't been able to post for a while as I am on route to Switzerland. I have come to staying with my folks on the southern end of the Peak District with the intention of catching up with family and friends and to climb.

I had a great morning at Harbrough Rocks a small dolomitic limestone crag I began my climbing career on over 30 years ago, the weather was smashing clear sky's and a slight breeze, top banana. Much better than Friday when was rained off of Burbage North after an hour and then the weather goods did the same to me at Harbrough rocks, but I got a couple of hours climbing in.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my olsd mate Phil Baker for what I suspect will be some full on sports climbing action......
