Just a quick note about the last few days as I'm in the midst of getting ready to move out tomorrow...

Went down to Llanberis on tuesday morning to meet the rest of the course in Pete's Eats - Eve a local and Luke & Becks from CMC. Went to Tremadog Upper Tier for the first day dealing mainly with personal climbing skills but also some group work stuff. Finished up with some climbing there in the evening as the weather was superb leading a fantastic HS and VS 4c with Eve. Back to Llanberis to crash in the bunkhouse above Pete's Eats after a devouring a Madras from next door.

Up again the next day to meet everybody and then we preceded to flit between several smaller crags locally dealing with stuff like group abseils and rescues etc. Finished up at the Beacon climbing wall again getting some climbing in in the evening. Pretty good wall with some really interesting routes. Then did the paperwork side of things and got recommended to go for assessment as apparently I'm ready, think I'd feel a bit more confident with a few more group sessions outside under my belt so will try and get them in before doing it. Home that evening via an Indian buffet near Wrexham - yet more Madras!

Was fairly tired yesterday but managed to get some stuff done for university before cycling to Rufford to meet Martin so we could practice our sea kayaking for Splash an Dash in the evening.

Next time I post I'll be living in Lancaster and by the sounds of Fresher's Week probably inebriated.
