Blustery showers in the Peak..

It's been a blustery day here in the Peak District with some significant showers. Despite this there have been some fantastic sunny spells between the showers, with the gritstone edges drying almost instantly.

Paul Knowles has been out with Teresa and Steve at Birchen Edge today on the first of two days private instruction. They have covered plenty of ground: leading, rigging top ropes and belays etc as well as getting some climbing done.

I also managed a quick soloing and bouldering session at Burbage North before returning to Sheffield. The rock was totally dry but the odd puddle was a bit of a clue to this mornings weather. The forecast for tomorrow looks to be somewhat better, so fingers crossed.

I am off to North Wales on Sunday, working with White Hall Centre who are doing an away course with New Mills School. Following this, I will be Multi Pitch climbing with the Climbing and Mountaineering Sports Club from John Lewis Partnership...
