Granddad, 97 and still counting!!!
Climber, technophile and political junkie: That just about covers me...
Fantastic weekend in Portland and Swanage, our third annual pilgrimage. This time age showed a bit...Alan was persuaded to buy and airbed to ease his aching bones, we were organised enought to stop off on the way to the campsite to eat, rather then arriving too late for food in Weymouth and we planned ahead enough to have food and beer with us!
The weather was predected to be rubbish - ranging from drizzle to rain storms. As it turned out, we had two great days in the sun...

Once upon a time, in a universe far far away, there was a university climbing club. Sometimes they climbed, sometimes Mostly they did both - sometimes at the same time!
Here a re just a few photos I found whilst clearing out the loft from way back when...
