There's snow on the hills - according to some of them folks north of the border - does that mean it's nearly winter?? I really hope so, because I'm sick to death of this wet, minging, dreary autumn!!! Ok, I admit there have been a couple of sunny days in the last few weeks, but I'm sure I remember someone promising an Indian summer.
The last week of so have been in turn encouraging and a bit frustrating. I've been continuing my training, getting down to Masson Lees and up to the Works at least once a week and the projects are getting so close......

Turning the first roof.....a LOOOOONG way to go.

Friday at Masson Lees saw me get as far as I ever have on the lip traverse route. But managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - by getting 2 clips from the end and letting go (Channeling my inner Keith Ball!!). I think, to be honest, if it wasn't on my doorstep (relatively speaking) I might have been able to power scream a bit louder and finish it off, but having a little thing in the back of your head that knows you can come back anytime might not be the best motivation for me. I'd headed down not feeling super fresh after some training sessions on the previous couple of days, looking at the day as more of a workout so I was a bit surprised to find myself past all the tough climbing and nearly at the chains - next time........
