The Trip

2007 - The 11th of august and i arrived at brandon and liams house at about 8:00 am we set off to the train station at about twenty to nine and we got the ten past 9 train to sheffieldwe got to sheffield and the train to hathersage had already set off so we had to wait two hours at sheffield we finally got to the peaks at about half past 12 but we then had the long tiring walk to north lees campsite which seemed to take forever with the bouldering mat and our heavy bags we arrived at north lees at about half past two where we met a fellow climber called james oswold and we got the tents set up and then we went up to stanage. we started off on a V0 boulder problem for a warm up and we moved up to harder problems as the day went i solod a vs and brandon and liam solod a few harder routes we went up to paradise wall and got a few routes done and we then realised it was ten past 9 we set off back and started to cook some food two other climbers came and spoke to us they were called johnny and seb we spoke to them for a while whils having some cans of cider and fosters we then later went to bed. we woke up in the morning to showers of rain so we eventually got up and had a trek to hathersage where we looked around the shops and bought some supplies milk,bread etc...... on the walk back to the campsite the weather seemed to be clearing up slightly so when we go back we had lunch then went to stanage we did some bouldering on the pebble and then it started to rain we took shelter in a cave and waited it out luckily the gritstone dries immensely quick and we started climbing again the weather seemed okay ish from then on with only a few light showers i did a V2 and brandon and liam both flashed a v5 boulder problem and we did some more soloing and we then walked back with ozzy seb and johnny. that night we went to the pub and had a meal as it was curry night after we had the meal we went back and got ready for wednesday we spent all of wednesday from half past 9 to about half past eight when we got back we took the tents down and walked into hathersage with our bags ect... we tried to get in at the little john pub for a meal but the chef had gone home so we went to a indian resteraunt. after this we walked slowly to the train station where we slept in the train shelter me and liam had our roll mats and sleeping bags and brandon put his tent up (in the shelter....:s) we woke at ten past 6 ready to get the 6:40 train which came to the end of our trip.
