I left the pooch at home today as he doesn’t seem to be very well and didn’t want to get out of bed – so, after a bit of a dog-emptying walk, I left him there. He’s just starting to recover a bit now. I suspect he’s eaten something he shouldn’t…
And so, I had to drive myself to Baldersdale where I met Matt, Rachel and Mollie the Dog and we had an afternoon of abseiling over the overhanging buttresses of Goldsborough Crag
Goldsborough is a cracking place for this kind of thing because it has big metal stakes impaled in the ground at the top for belaying off. They’re bombproof, it seems.
Wot fun, and I think we’re getting better at it….
And it rained a bit, so after a couple of hours we abandoned and I returned to my poorly pooch.
Most pics by Rachel – I can’t take pics and belay at the same time, innit?

Sorry to hear Lucky is unwell, hope he is on the road to recovery soon.
What fun, abseiling looks a cracking way to spend an afternoon. Do not think it would go down well if a tried that from my sixth flat!!
I have to admit that even though I've done lots of abseiling, it's definitely not My Favourite Thing....
Hope the pooch is recovering. I abseiled once of a 13 story building in London, with my bike roped and suspended underneath me for charity. Won’t be doing that again for a while.
Looked a little blowy as well!

The Big Buttress eh?
There's nowt like clambering over a Big Buttress.
My best wishes to Lucky for a speedy recovery.
