The works (18th January 2009)

Okay so i had slept at liams saturday night to go climbing at the works on sunday, so we got up on sunday at half eight expecting the weather to be awful but too our surprise it was absolutely beautiful the sun was just coming up properly and there was not a cloud in the sky. We got dressed and set off to liams nannas to get bikes to set off to the train station, brandon wasnt coming as he wanted to go to the edge bouldering instead. we got to liams nannas and straight away set off for the train station. On the way to the train station me and liam had a real deep conversation about how the sun is absolutely amazing in a morning after this very deep conversation we arrived at the train station. We purchased our tickets and waited for the train, we waited about ten minutes and then we got on the train and got settled until we got to sheffield station. When we arrived we got on our bikes and set off for the works. It takes about twenty minutes to get to the works on bike but as we went to CCC before it took about half an hour . I met Scott for the first time and then we went to the works. We got there paid and started getting warmed up on some easy problems, when warmed up we went round and got some harder problems done i flashed 3 v4's and i think i may have worked a v5 and sent it. I started working a f7a+ traverse on the circuit i only got about half way but i'll do it next time im at the works. after about 4 hours my forearms were absolutely dead so we left liam got a text of brandon asking him if he wanted to go to the edge for a while but as i dont have a green card i couldnt climb there so i left the bike with brandon and walked to the train station alone. When i got there i had twenty minutes to wait till my train was due so i got a burger king meal and then got the train to scunthorpe where my mum picked me up. Overall i was a good day which was well worth it.
