Bad things about the Peak:

- Losing Wallet (found by a nice woman)
- Lack of 'abundant climbing' feeling (due to weather and no skin)
- Count's Buttress
- Bumblies
- Pasta

The depressing weather in the first week led to some awesome poetry. Here's a taste:
Rain
Rain, rain, your such a pain,
I rather wish I'd gone to Spain.
Or anywhere just not here,
Because it seems to just rain all year.
I like to climb in the sun,
But it only rains, its not much fun.
My feet are wet, my clothes are damp,
And the people won't let us stay and camp
Rain... Rain... Rain...
The Biscuits here are really nice,
But the past gets boring, so does the rice.
Our tent is full of bugs and stuff,
Camping here is really rough.
The beer is flat, our mouths are dry,
Sometimes I want to cry
Cry... Cry... :'(

I'm a Bumbly
I'm a Bumbly! I'm a Bumbly!
From the Popular End!
I can't do high step up,
For my knees, they don't bend!
I have a red helmut!
and hexes galore!
But when I try a server,
I can't get off the floor!
I dream one day,
To climb a V Diff onsight!
Last time I tried,
I had to back off in fright!
I'm a Bumbly! I'm a Bumbly!
I can't climb for shit
Try as I might,
I look like a tit.

Back in Inverness my skin has yet to fully recover. My hands always smell sweetly due to the Norwegian Formula hand cream. This hasn't stopped me and my best bud Ben attempting the Brin roof Project. It's a beast. Last move is a brittish 6c campus! nasty.
Anyway I'm for a jam sesh with my wee bro. Steel string guitars are good for the skin aye??

Hey Mikey,
Good to hear about ur efforts in the peak... STRONG WORK!
Thought i'd just pester u with some e-league breaking news, sky sports sty-lee. This just in.. did "Anne Boleyn's crack" and "Eave" at Dun-T the other morn to bolster my points to the grand ol' total of !!!SIX!!!
Hoo-YA!
I know they're short and sweet but, hey, so am I :)
Also tried Dracula in a hope of putting some space between me and that Karen chick (any chance of a photo that could take centre place on my dartboard at the mo?? i'm sure she's a nice lass 'n all but it's dog eat dog in the e-league my friend!) but only got halfway along the roof :(
Anyhoo.. hope the fingers are healin up nicely and you send that brin profect all the way down into the seven depths of hell sooner than later, if you get bored i'm workin at the wall all week from 3-8 pop in and say hi.
Later dude
Hahahah,
Karen's my ex and one of my climbing partners - there should be a photo or 2 on my blog if you want one. Her last name is McIntyre if you want to add that to the list Mike.
I see you've sent the project Mike? Nicely done :)
See you in Glasgow soon,
Stewy
