Rocks, Runs and Rock & Roll

We were (rather repetitively!) back in the Skyline area of the slate quarry again today as the weather is still both windy and showery. 

We did a couple of really good trad routes. 'Act Naturally' is a good VS grade route, with decent protection and an obvious line to follow. Very enjoyable! Then we did 'Mad Dogs of the West' which is graded HVS, but we reckon is easier - more VS. Another great line and a shame it isn't longer!

After leaving the quarries, we stopped off for a run around our local mini mountain, Moel y Ci. It's the first time I've been running in ages and really enjoyed it. The views were great and it felt nice to get my body working hard.

Then, out of the blue we got a call from a friend asking us if we wanted to go to a gig - in Bethesda of all places! Amazingly, we can now walk down from The Cottage, over the footbridge and find ourselves very shortly after in a brand new venue off the high street! Rock on!
