Scotland soon!

How time flies! Only feels like yesterday when Roger was talking about booking the cottage up in Scotland, but with less than a week i realised i haven't climbed outdoors on a rope in England since November!! Ahh Shit! Will be a bit of a wake up call, hopefully the route training i've been doing at the wall will be transferred to outdoors within a day or so.
Away from climbing i have been converting my recently purchased VW Transporter and this weekend was a big one with changing the triple seat in the front to two single swivel seats. This wasn't as easy as i thought it was going to be, needing to drill four new holes and bolt the seats to the bases. The first one we did we drilled four holes and realised they didn't even line up! So with a bit of jiggery pokery we managed to get them on and learned just to drill one hole at a time and managed to get the other seat lined up first time!
I keep meaning to take photos of it to show it off online but every time i remember its dark outside. This week i'll get some photos up i promise.
Other than this quick update i haven't really done much, just been working lots. The final round of the Winter Bouldering League was on Friday and it was the best turn out yet. Hopefully next year i can improve on a few different things, advertise it more and thus create better turn outs to each comp.
For now my psyche is turned back to the Scottish Winter Climbs guidebook getting a nice little tick list together.
