Well yesterday ended up at Hobson Moor Quarry as the Moorland Grit team rumbled into Hobby. Big Chris dragged by sorry arse up a couple of mid graders before thankfully Ben Tetler arrived and gave Chris a taste of his own medicine - a Sandbag E1 5b (see left) which consensus might see it rise to E3 5c. That knocked our Chris somewhat - but he got back in form on the classic HVS of the crag - Parkers Eliminate. Meanwhile Martin K was hacking huge great lumps of earth (which landed on Sara's heed - ha that will learn young pup!) & greenery out of an E2 which he shunted. Elsewhere Julie, Sarah & Pirate Jim were hoovering up the routes with a now happier Chris and I took piccys with various camera's (my didgi died after this shot above - doh!) I managed a clean or 2 and some ace bouldering - which simply must go in the guide. The dogs ran about & exhausted themselves and we retired to the crown in Glossop for a pint of Samual Smiths before a nice journey home to the sun over the snake. A good day all round for the BMC peeps, well done all.
