Bad weather's somewhat stopped play recently as far a outdoor climbing's concerned- it's been too damp- and I mean that- not neccesarily raining, but too much moisture about. So though the climbing wall's lot's of social fun- and it's even possible to enjoy the climbing, it's not as photogenic, or inspirational. So we climbed Saturday indoors (yet again), but plans were made to try the new trails at Llandegla (our local bike trails about 10 min drive from here). The weather on Sunday was perfect- blue skies and sunshine- no wind to speak of- so after some faffing about on my part (damaged finger putting me off parting in painful activities- sorry Erklinds), I decided to stop being a wuss, and get out there and catch Lee at the start of the trail, as he set off with a colleague from work. I'm so glad I got out- the new trails are brilliant- fast flowing singletrack- mountain biker heaven. Here's a taste of what they're like (and no- I don't get quite that much air on my jumps ;¬)

I did yer wuss! Looooooads of air! jus cos you split yur finger climbing doesnt mean you cant do crazy stuff like your big bro...heheheh!
Yeah, well some of us get sick pay if we break our arms, and only have to sit behind desks, others of us have to pick up horses legs and sledgehammer fence posts into the ground- tricky with your arm in a sling....
In fact, just to prove my point, there was a lad lying on the ground after the last ski jump on the red run near the cafe- he'd broken his elbow when he took a tumble....
All that and the fact I am a bit of a wuss ;¬)
(In fact- sod it, let's get you 100ft up on some overhanging rock and see who's the wuss :¬)
Touched a sensitive spot?- No, I don't think so.....
;¬)
Now now boys, catching air just slows you down on a bike!
