The weather was superb. Blue skies, delightful sunshine, with trees and bushes to give a spot of shade, when required. The teachers and ex-presidents made a good stand for proportional representation. Team Dave was mostly down to one until t'other turned up from Cheer Tor and various expedition activities. Sheena and Al popped in from Skye.

Millstone laid out it's impressive array of routes, all dry and ready for use. Great North Road, Boomerang, Bond Street, The Scoop, Stone Dri, Flapjack (Variant), Lyon's Corner House (Italian style), etc., etc.

There was buzz (or rumble) of activity when the cakes and tea were unleashed into the community. They'd been hand crafted by Julie. Though sadly some had been choffed the day before at Burgbage North on Heather's meet. Quality control was the excuse. It certainly helped with the communal snufflings.

For me it turned out to be the second of three days climbing, in the peak, in the sun. So, many thanks for coming along and, er, enjoying yourselves.

After climbing all over Rivelin on the Saturday (12th) come for a relaxing day at Millstone. I'll be at the large area in front on the Embankments at 10:30, as the sun comes round onto the climbs. Plenty of space for KMC creche to operate. Climbs at most grades with good spectator galleries. Located on the north side of the A625 about 2 km from Hathersage going towards Sheffield.
