Uni Nav Day

Today was the first practical day for the year and it was looking like it was going to be a wet one. Heading out with Rich, Rory, Alan and Scott. Getting to collage we fond out that we where going to be head a way for the normal Fort William and Glencoe areas. Instead head to Fersit for a bit of a change of place. The day was to be a refresh of skill. It was great to be out putting skills learnt least year in to use. With Scott giving more tips and advise on the way. We managed to get a lag in a pass and got done Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg. With all that it bit not even get a good shower in just a bit of sunshine for the walk out. Now thinking that I need to get on and do my ML training before the start off winter.

Great view looking over Loch Treig from the top of Stob Coire Sgriodain.

Even the sunshine came out for the walk off Chno Dearg.

Climbing at Moy Rock

Head up to Moy Rock last friday with Dan, Sally and Connor. As it was looking like driest place to be. On the drive up it was looking like it could go ether way but it managed to hold off all day. Getting on with the climbing was a bit odd as it was conglomerate rock so lots of possibilities. Got a far bit done thow end up not feeling like climbing hard and  just had a bit of a chilled time. Even go a bit of sun to the point that Dan had to climb with a top off to do The Dark Side. The 2 bast routs of the day for myself was Fighting off the Vultures F6a+** and Corvus F5+**.

Run about Ring of Steel

Last Thursday head out with Connor for a RUN. Something that I do not do much of or in fact at all. The plan way bike you to Steel Fall car pick and head out form there.

Ride into Steel Falls car park

Nice warm up run to Steel Falls

First off nice warm up ride on the bikes then a run up to Steel Falls. Connor setting the pace for the day. Getting over the river at the Fall saw some funny foot work form him. This lead to the first big climb up and into the cloud.

Happy to be on the first top

Being in the cloud would be us for the rest of the day. Thow we were pretty warm form run so was not to bad to be cold off by it. It was non stop day other then a bit off food and water here and there we where pretty much on the go all the time. Head a bit of fun working out where about we where going in the cloud.
