At last, something more exciting than pictures of leafs...

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 ;¬)
