Round Table Abseil

Took some of the lads from Caernarfon Round Table to Abseil in the quarries above Llanberis last Tuesday before heading to the pub.

 Who's left?

Plenty done and to do.

As ever it has been very busy at Boulder with plenty of changes going on. Most recently we have redecorated some rooms reduced the number of beds in the centre to a max of 35 to make things more comfortable for all. This summer has also been a first for running mixed family taster sessions, many of the photos from these sessions can be seen on the new Boulder Adventures, Llanberis Facebook page.
In amongst all this work I have still managed some time out with mountain biking taking precedent in the last weeks I have managed to tick of routes at Coed y Brenin, the hills above Llanfairfechan in the rain, Snowdon and Moel Elio.
My mind is now turning to putting on some more music nights through the winter and dates will follow as things get sorted.

Seiont and Ogwen.

Managed a day out from work last week to go paddling with Matt. All went well but managed a capsize on an easy rapid on the Ogwen. Video of the section on the Boulder Adventures FB page.

Please don't go.

It would be very nice to think that this warm March weather would continue into April but if it is only a short spell of warmth it did give the opportunity to surf and coasteer. It has at least given hope for when the summer is with us.

The evening surf on Anglesey, small but a pleasant none the less.

The swell dropped of with the dropping tide, not bad for after work in March.
The following evening coasteering at Rhoscolyn, the first of the year.

Krooked First Birthday.

Had the Hi::def Sound System out last night for the Krooked First Birthday with Buggsy in Rascals, Bangor. Buggsy a Bristol based MC put on a great show, see more of his Bris Ting here.

After Work Blast.

Only been me in the office this week so have kept myself busy. Felt I should treat myself so ran away a little early for a quick bike through the quarries joined by Simon. Descent was a bit slower than normal due to the hail shower just before we started of downhill, wet slate with patches of hail keeps you guessing. Best of all only one puncture.

Mending the evenings puncture with Snowdon in the background.

Building Bridges.

Below are the pictures from the latest bridge building problem solving activity I have been putting together for Boulder Adventures.
