Just a quick note about the last few days. Was back at uni for a week, and the weather was GLORIOUS!!! Went climbing to Trowbarrow on the Tuesday after 9:00am lecture with Matt and Struggles, got the train to Silverdale. Did ‘Ramp Art S 4a’ which I could have lead ... yes ... need to lead trap routes soon. Then had a mess around on other easy stuff. Moved in for the kill, as an attempt at ‘Jean-Jeanie HS 4C’ which we didn’t really get up but drew blood anyway. Had to wait for an hour at the station to we lay around listening to music on my phone. Went out for a curry at bottom weatherspoons on the Thursday and home on the Friday.
Saw Andy on Saturday and we went for a huge trek again. Got to church at 6:45 and helped everyone set up for the gig that night, still had words to type up and sound checks to be done. Anyhow, Envisage were amazing as per usual with Kathryn, Vicky and Ben singing. Ben on acoustic guitar, Tabz on electric, Andy on bass and singing, Mike playing TWO keyboards and Josh on the drums! Sang in church the next morning with Kathryn and gave Angela my Bible to write in. Went to visit Gran in the afternoon, then back to Lancaster.
Karate on Monday was inspired by Amy’s trophy from Kyu Grades competition and I think I may compete in the KUGB National Championships!!!!!!! Had my first BIO practical on Thursday, and one of our worms escaped and we found him in a cupboard! Went to see 17 again that night with Struggles after stopping by Furness bar to see the climbing crew for a drink. Went to collect sediment samples from Coniston copper mines on Friday ... was rather damp but we had fun and went up to the tarn although we could hardly see anything, ended with Gary half naked and head first in a waterfall trying to retrieve a sample pot. Went to the pub after to recover the back on the coach we had caravan trauma down a narrow road for about 15mins ... enough said here.
Climbing on Saturday ... trains were changed ... took our time ... but we got to Trowbarrow in the end. I did my first two leads on ‘Rampant S 4a’ and ‘Jomo VD’ apart from one; I was told my gear was solid! Did a quick E1 on top rope to finish off the day. Headed back to the station at 4ish only to wait for about an hour ... more trains delayed ... I seem to be spending allot of time waiting around Silverdale train station after climbing at Trowbarrow. Went out to Heather’s cocktail party at her flat in town later. Collected Amy, and stopped by Struggles who was reading a book when we burst in shouting ‘PARTY PARTY’ ... and took him with us. Was a great night, and chocolate fountains were involved. Went home about 12ish and me and Amy carried Struggles (who fell asleep on the bus) back to his flat.
Tuesday! Went out to Cuba for Jojo’s birthday ... got home at 5, covered in hay!!! After going to Jojo’s after for cake at 4am!!! Went to lecture at 12 then back to Jojo’s for a recovery party, then me and Amy went on to Karate which resulted in me getting punched in the eye and Amy kicking Henry in the nuts. Climbing social on Thursday (after Bio field trip to Trowbarrow ... which all the climbers tryed to turn into a climbing trip), turned in to watching top gear in Furness bar TV room and watching E11, where some Scottish guy falls off the crux of on E11 repeatedly ... stomach still squiggly from that. Had lectures and lab practical on Friday and Andy came round at 5ish? We walked round campus, and then went out for tea at the fleece in Preston; back to Andy’s to watch films. . .
Met up with Vicky after she had finished work in town to go job hunting and we got to Mike and Kathryn’s to meet them, Andy, Tabz, etc to walk round the Knight’s residence. Walked in with an awful lot of beer ... that looked bad. Anyhow, spent the afternoon, evening and night with Vicky, Kathryn, Andy, Mike, Amy, Tabz, Josh, Angela, Ian and Peter and Felicity having BBQ (thanks Rev. Peter!), chocolate fountain, dancing all night to silly tunes and drinking beer head hahahahahaaaaaa funny times!!! got home at some point. Church the next morning was ... blurry. Went to see Gran and Grandad that afternoon, then back to Lancaster.
Spent the week on the phone with the Canadian Embassy, Southport Rotary Club and sorting out various other Canada related things. Spent many long hours, and done some good routes at the bouldering wall with Amy, Matt, Struggles, Sam and Gary ... played ‘plus one’ which got quite interesting ... some great moves though! Andy came to visit me on Saturday, went to the bouldering wall and out to Pizzeta on campus for tea. Spent Sunday, Monday ... and Tuesday AND Wednesday revising for my module tests ive had this week, in amongst going to karate twice (where we played ‘practice kicks on lee the fun instructor’) went to the climbing social at some point and our lecture forgot to turn up to our 115 exam ... fun times. Going up to Scotland this weekend for some fun. Can’t wait till exams are over and for summer and seeing my friends!! =]
