Minus 4 Minutes & Counting

Minus 4 minutes. That is the length of today compared to yesterday. We are heading for the dark days and it is picking up speed. If you have any evening trips planned, get them done quick.

I have been remiss with this blogging. I find the will to blog is rarely followed by the time to blog. That it not to say I have not found time to get out and about a bit. For instance, a couple of weeks ago I headed up the Kinder Downfall after work. My mate Scott was up in the area working and wanted to go do Zigzag.

Rockforms in Kinder Amphitheatre

It is a bit of a walk up (especially if you are a bit short of time) but those moorland crags are well worth the effort. For a start, they are usually quiet. Even the Mynedd CC, based in local Hayfield, only had one trip up there this year. Secondly, the rock forms are absorbing, the grit almost seems to ooze into laybacks and overhangs with little or no polish. Thirdly, the view at sunset is awesome.

So get up there quick before it gets dark, and don't forget the headtorch!
