Sparrowpit Cross - Country Ski Meet


This unplanned meet happened by a combination of disorganisation and coincidence.

The meet was well attended, considering nobody was invited?..and took place among the boulders of Burbage. Personally, I was persuaded to by the prospect of appalling weather and a forced spell in the pub, but fortunately (or not) the weather stayed dry for the majority of the day. Numerous problems were climbed throughout the day, although none of any considerable difficulty due to the conditions. Many of the easier problems had long queues of KMC members at the bottom, so much so that people at the back of the queue had seen the problem done so many times before it was their turn it was almost impossible to fail.

Roger did a number of problems to show that he still had the knack, but left in favour of the warmth of a good brisk walk.

Julie arrived late, having done some real exercise and completed a few cursory problems before leading the meet on to the pub.
