Another cold evening, nevertheless eight of us still put up a good haul with Crack Lap (HS*), Witches Brew (HS*), Thrutch (VS**), Peel Off (VS***) and Blond Witch (Assheton Arms ***)

Perhaps not the warmest start to the outdoor season, but tradition prevailed as seven of us knocked off a few classics which included Eastby Buttress (VD), Nose Climb (S) and Scoop & Crack (S*). John B is seen here finishing Last Orders (VS), now that reminds me!

Temperatures permitting does anyone fancy some easy cragging this weekend.

I’ll be climbing out somewhere on Sunday for those wishing to join me (possibly Gigglewick) let me know. Andy 07900 933 339

To everybody who attended the end of year assembly last Thursday.

I thought it would simply be a case of handing back the marked homework with a list of the necessary corrections. I wasn’t expecting the headmaster to intervene and order a long period of detention for us to go through the whole caboodle again as another class exercise. I’m sorry this happened and that it went on forever.

Thanks to everyone for not throwing chairs around and for not hitting me and saying it was all my fault.

Everyone gets a Gold Star for being good.
