The weathermen have been wittering on about a mini heat wave sweeping the UK, so it seemed sensible to seek out a suitably amenable venue. Ravenscar could have fitted the bill nicely, but it was time to travel further afield and so to the sylvian glades and sweeping lines of;
Lawrencefield
AT's carefully calculated Sequential Event Timeline Control system was immediately kiboshed. BP made the round trip to Hathersage in record time and playtime was soon under way.

Across the way a team who'd driven up from from Oxford! tackle Three Tree Climb
AT sports a sartorial style and strikes a shapely pose, paying homage to the absent Mr B.
Red pants de rigeur today
BP latches the good holds in the niche before launching up the leaning finishing wall on Tyrone
Nova holds on to a bit of shade
A series of puzzling moves lead to a more straightforward but dusty finish.
Climber takes a bite out of the run out finish on Gingerbread.
It's no cake-walk.
Gave it a miss - friction compromised by the soaring temperatures now at thirtysomething
Limpopo Groove a much more appealing option. For once!
Very good climbing
AT ready to make the same moves as featured in the first pic above.
By now feeling pretty well baked off.
AT comes second in red pants run off.
A great venue for the conditions, welcome shade between climbs and also on some routes, no midges, easy walk in.
And handy shops.
And Pubs!
