Sunday 17th June. Inspired last weekends visit to Yorkshire I was psyched to train over the past week and managed to squeeze in three finger board sessions into another long and stressful week. Although this resulted in little or no progress I was still psyched to get torn in to something hard at the weekend. However, the weather transpired to dampen my spirits as heavy rain and flooding effected most of the UK, righting off most venues due to seepage. After plans for Yorkshire fell through I made alternative plans for Sunday to head to Dumbie. Sadly an early call from a hung over Michael also end this plan.

Sulking about the house at 2pm Lindsey finally persuaded me to do something so we headed for Dunkeld hoping to find dry rock. Our first stop off was at Newtyle Quarry was unfruitful as the cave was soaking. Alternatively, we headed to Myopics Buttress which was just dry enough to climb. I had planned to try and onsight Granola Head but ended up grunting up a rather damp and greasy Chopping Block. After taking a spanking on meager 7b I decided to call it quits. We spent the rest of the evening going for a walk in the nearby Hermitage to see Ossians Hall, cave and (former) Tallest Tree in the UK (I wasn’t impressed). On the way back we stopped off for a burger at Dunkeld’s Tay Bank Inn and listened to some impromptu folk musicians which were excellent. It was good to include Lindsey in my plans this weekend and spend more time with her. Those belay lessons could come in handy in the future.
