Since I last wrote lots has happened. We got busy at work and busy everywhere else. This led to a struggle in motivation to being on the web, but hey, so here I am with a few photos and a generalisation of what we have been up to.

A great bit of running and climbing happened early on last month with all that hot weather. It was brilliant to be outside climbing some true classic routes also to cram some neat evening routes in. I ventured back in to bouldering making the odd trip to badger rock and Kendal golf course, it is great to have so many things to do on an evening with out to much effort needed.

Murg and I entered the lanequest series (cycle orienteering) round south lakes. We rode our heavy mountain bikes against some super quick roadies all organised and slick. But a little bit of local knowledge and elbow grease the pair of us managed to come 3rd in the pairs much to our amazement!

Sarah and I have been out sailing on Coniston on a little 20’ keel boat. The motor is bust so it is a case of sailing off and back on to the mooring, to much amusment of the proper sailers we got under way. However reefing the sail is for wimps and we soon shot off down the lake.

Then the powers that be in the modelling industry called upon my dashing good looks for a couple of photo shoots! One modelling shoes the other head torches. I think this side of my career is going places off to Milan next year!

Then this month the work carried on the heavens opened and river hotline started ringing. This week I dusted off the paddling kit and managed to squeeze in the Troutbeck on Tuesday and on Wednesday GLB and the lower Kent all great fun. Especially as the fisherman on the Kent didn’t understand german. Never mind that’s all till next time,

Cheers.
