Bouldering

A quick blip as we need to get some sleep for an early(ish) start.

We spent the day at Newbiggin Crags,  just south of Kendal so James could try bouldering* on some outdoor rock - he normally climbs on an artificial wall.

Stuart brought his bouldering mat along - it is just out of the frame - James did really well and mastered a number of the problems he and Stuart found.

* short climbs on a boulder or piece of crag sometimes only three or four metres high.  A padded mat is placed on the ground so any falls are cushioned and no ropes or other protection is needed.
