One more down

So, finally moved house, big thanks to all who helped. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The only downside is, the weather has been so good the past 2 weeks on the rock that we've still got boxes to unpack and rooms to sort out, but hey sometimes it's just to nice to stay in and do the mundane things associated with day to day life :-) Alothough I do need to get the greenhouse sorted or my vegetables won't be ready for the "North Show".

As the title suggests I managed to sneak another challenge in, it was one of my climbing challenges "Lead a climb outside". Basically last Tuesday I set out with the intention of either completing an HVS clean or leading a climb. As these things tend to happen, the situation presented itself to do the lead so I went for it. Nothing spectacular, nothing special just a nice Mod, which to be honest I could have probably solo'd, but the monkey's off my back and I did it.

Off on my hols in a couple of weeks to Llanberis, which is a climbers playground, and hopefully I should be able to get some climbing sorted. If not I will complete at least one more challenge as I am going White Water rafting whilst I'm away. When I get back the "Cycle to work for 40 days" challenge starts.

Total for Cancer Research currently stands at £215 so still a way to go. Oh well, on with the 40 / 40 challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.
