Maybe home turf is a misnomer... but I still feel an affinity and great fondness for Derbyshire and the gritstone where I lived my formative years and learnt how to climb a while back (!).

I met up with Steve and Kev in the Peak District and I had lots of fun mt biking and climbing on the gritstone. We had a fun day finding esoteric climbs at Stanage such as Titanic direct (HVS), Counts Crack (VS), Counts Buttress (desperate), now given E2 5C!! I (cough) even seemed to make heavy work of High Neb Buttress Variation... but shouldn't admit this - I blame the humid weather and damp rock (second cough!)....

I also really enjoyed reconnecting with some of the fantastic bouldering at Cratcliffe/Robin Hoods Stride, thanks Kev for your patience with the film work.... who knows if it will ever see the light of day.. but it was fun and great to see you both. Scotland rocks... but I miss the grit too...
