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.

Quick update

Last update 19th October! Damn its been too long.
I keep going to write posts then realise that there isn't any pictures and it's all just words.
But whats been going on?
Well I now finally own my own T5 which i am in the process of converting the back out to make it comfortable to sleep in. So a lot of time and money is going into that as a full time project.
Climbing wise well the weather has been dump so not been outdoors in the UK for a while just training a little indoors trying to stay fit and not eat or drink too much.
Font was a bit of an unsucsessful trip with the whole forest being sat in a cloud for the majority of the week a lot of my time was spent drinking. Still managing two 7a's it wasnt a total waste of time just more frustration as i tweaked a finger on a problem.
Focus now is on Spain for a sport climbing holiday, away for christmas? Some people think i am mad but really what do we do on christmas?? Eat too much? Drink too much? See family we see all the time? Exactly so why not have a change.
The psyche levels are high and i have been watching quite a few video two of which stick out in my mind. One got my psyche levels off the scale and made me want to live in Scotland. The other made me want to be able to crush hard trad! Both are embedded below so have a watch.
Just a short one with the promise of more regular posts with plenty of photos of both the van and a full round up of Font.
