cant remember the date but 'scunthore bulidering and cinema tour'

last week sometime on a wednesday i think i asked liam if he fancied going to the cinema, he said yes, we were going to see 'Knowing' but before we met in scunthorpe an hour and abit early so we went and did abit of buildering. The first spot we went to was the 'No Parking' area where we have a climb called'No parking' at font 6c/6c+ i did it second go and claimed third ascent. its a nice problem, you can see a video on www.red-tips.com it is quite a good problem, second spot we went to was thealley are where we have the triangle problem and also the one move wonder with no name at grade font 6a/6a+ after this we went to the cinema traverse and dyno, i had a few goes at the traverse and was getting furthest on it but it is a very technical and balancy problem with no grade set yet as it has had no ascent yet, we finally went to the cinema and saw 'knowing' if you havnt seen it already i advise you to go see it as it is awesome, after the film we found a few problems near the leisure centre, a highball arete and anothe one move wonder accompanied by a burly traverse. i then go tthe bus home and went on red-tips.

1st april 2009 'the works'

Soo, the 1st of april is here already. It doesnt seem two minutes since this time last year when i was kind of preparing for my GCSE's. i did alright in them by the way. Anyway the first of april, or april fools day as it is known, my father woke me up for some unknown reason at half past 7 so i could have as FREE lift to scunthorpe train station where i was going to get the ten past 9 train to sheffield. I managed to blag my way on to the train as a child again for the last time as i have now purchased a student railcard, which i am quite pleased about. I waited at the train station for liam and brandon to come at quarter to 9 to bring my brand new Red-tips t-shirt which is awesome by the way, to purchase one please go to www.red-tips.com and go on online store. when they arrived they sat with me for 20 minutes while my train came and then they dashed off home, probably to bed. I got on the train and just sat listening to the rage against the machine album, and to the prodigy album, not the new one. i got to sheffield and walked to decathalon which i hadnt been in before. Its pretty good to be honest, really cheap. I didnt buy anything by the way. By the time i had finished looking round it was about quarter to 11 and the works didnt open until 12 o'clock so i decided to go to ccc for abit. I looked round and ended up buying some new screw on holds for my wall which is quite cool, haha. Anyway i set off walking to the works at about quarter past 11 the road to the works is surprisingly long when you are alone and are walking. i got to the works at about ten to 12 and it was just opening, i started talking to this guy who said he lived like 2 minutes from the works he is so lucky. I got in and started to get warmed up, to get warmed up i did all the green problems. By the time i had done pretty much all of them i was pretty hot so i got a quick dring and started to get on some harder stuff, after a while i started trying all the new purple spotty's which as far i i know grade from font 6a to font 7a. I did pretty much all of them as far as i know and then i had a quick go on the font 6c circuit. After my second go i decided i would commit as much as i could and surprise surprise i did it, personally i think it was the song, which was 'Justice vs Simian-We are your friends' it got me pretty psyched and it was pretty awesome. I did a few roof problems on the blocks and then decided to call it a day due to needing skin needing a replacement. i think the time was about 20 past four so i set off to get the 25 past 5 train back to scunthorpe. i got to the train station at 5 past 5 and i got on the train which ended up been the one that stops at every stop. The train got to swinton and ended up comint to a standstill, some guy had ran across the track about 100 metres in front of the train so the train driver decided to go look for him, by the tine i got to scunthorpe it was 5 past 6 just in time for me to walk to scunthorpe bus station to get the 20 past 6 train home. When i got home i sat down and switched this laptop on and went on Red-tips the perfect thing after a good days training.
