I felt a disturbance in the force whilst on the A38 passing Derby. I looked at the temperature and it was 5 degrees. Looked out the window and it was mix of still white cloud and washed out blue and thought "today is a grit day"

Are you sure the disturbs in the force wasn't due to all those protein bars you've been eating?

You're not wrong there. I asked BB Guns the other week and apparently it had been called, but where? I have the tortoise on Facebook now but it's not even on there.

Admittedly it is the worst, stupidest, wettest and most pointless autumn/winter in the history of time, but the calling all seems at best covert and at worst cocked-up.

It's not been an easy few weeks. I thought I caught a glimpse of him a month back, but if it was I couldn't catch him. I went out tonight on the off chance, and there he was horns and all. Should all be downhill from here, enjoy folks!

What's particularly disappointing is that usually the scrittle or the slime is in - often with a little overlap. At the moment neither is functioning well.

Meanwhile all climbing wall owners across the land are rubbing their hands with glee as the cash registers ring.. :)

THAT's a call?? FFS I'm all for a bit of arcane gobbledegook but that's proper speaking in tongues, sideways. No wonder it's now 20'c again.

14 degrees overnight. Mental
Maybe the call can be reviewed once the temps drop below 10 degrees, supposed to be above 10 until Jan!

I blame climbing walls. The grit is calling, but you don't hear it. Drowned out by the thud of techno, the hum of traffic, and the drone of interminable discussions on training strategy. The rock is not your fair weather friend.

I'm waiting for the Bernard Cribbins mini series "the 3 2 1 of climbing outside"

hopefully this will be released before Bare Gristle re-brands getting out on rock as "wild climbing"
