'Nother big climbing weekend

And another one next!
Anyhoo, what a week last week was. I had about 8 things I wanted to do, in 3 days - suffice to say I didn't get all of them done!
I've filled you in up to Wednesday day. Wednesday night I went out for Alastairs going away thing. I got mysefl drunk too quickly; have decided to cut back on that as I'm only doing it as a peer pressure thing, so why bother? In the end we had pretty good thai curry, but Tam got bored and I had to work pretty hard to entertain myself. Would nmuch have preffered to go to Capoeira...
Thursday night I was originally going to Antony's. Then I was going to Mika Bomb. Then I was going to Electric Eel Shock. Finally I went to a great production of Julius Ceaser at the Barbican with Jo, her boss Dunc and his mate S someone or other (from power at macquarie)
Friday I was in a foul mood - I wouldn't be seeing Electric Eel shock at all, I had too little sleep becauses I had to get up early to do a document for my new 'boss' Brendan, and that document really sucked by the time I'd finished it - I don't know how much work Brendan will have to do to get it in order, but it will be a bit.
The weather was great, so Tam and I headed up to his mum's, just near Leeds. 3.5 hours of driving and we get there, only to find there was no key to get in... so we borrowed one from the neighbour and settled in for the night. Saturday we were up and out the door by 10, climbing at 11 and din't stop until 6/6:30. Tam lead 5 'wire' routes (which I of course seconded).
The second of these routes, Regent Street, was the best climb I've done in England. Really fun. And not scary for me since I was seconding :)
We got home exhausted and had bacon pasta for dinner, then I finished the fabulous book 'Saturday'. Today we didn't get up to much. Tidied up, then went to a sculpture park (this was ok, but nothing amazing) and then headed home.
So I guess I owe you are review of Saturday and A Dirty Shame and Julius Ceaser - I'll do that tonight after I see Ong Bak.
