Rain, drizzle, mist, clag


Lukasz’ mobile wifi service




The team slog it




It was nice when we got here




Freida enjoyed the beach
I’m writing this post which means our trip  on Orkney is not going according to plan. Just now I should be uncoiling ropes at the foot of my project. Instead we are drinking tea, watching drizzle settle on the road outside and looking at ferry times to Kirkwall. 
On Hoy it seems very easy for a lot of time to pass. Day 1 was great, I had a session on the crux and felt fit and rigged about 400m of rope for the guys filming (pics on Lukasz’ blog). Yesterday I rested tired arms after that and took Freida to see the sea. Today was time to get down to business. Nevermind.
I’m not sure whether this type of this should make you highly impatient, or cleanse you of impatience? Actually I don’t mind waiting too much, even though the forecast isn’t exactly great. But a 45 board would come in handy right now.

  1. Sounds like you are getting good and ready for it if the weather opens up for you. Never hurts to have a little downtime with the family!

    Congratulations, Rumour has it you made it yesterday. Dying to hear the details and see some good photos.
    It was a long wait, but finally the jewel in the stone has been uncovered.
