A weekend visit to Weymouth saw us revisit the scene of my first ever outdoor climbing expedition with Edwin and Ed that time back in 2005 when I was due to go to Caterrick for my Combat Infantryman's Course, when the Army managed not to book any of us on the course and I had a week's unexpected holiday and went climbing instead ( Read more... )

A quick one as I have loads of other stuff to do in the hour or so that remains to me tonight, but I had to post. Henry and I invented a new sport today - Sledge Touring ( Read more... )

Blow slowly round here! But if you stop and take notice they do blow. Today H and I went on a walk for his "Hikes Away" badge for Beavers. I had asked him where he would want to walk to - up a hill, down a river, to a castle or by the sea? BEACH was the option he choose so we journeyed back to a place call Sand Point where we had last been a ( Read more... )

I'm in North Wales, again. It seems all of my most recent posts have been about North Wales in one way or another! This time it is August 2017 and we are in Anglesey on a family holiday with T's sister Liz, her hubby Rob and their two kids.

This is the second part of the blog started here. We'll pick up from where we left off - I'd arrived home from a weekend in North Wales, de-kitted and was running a nice hot bath. I'd poured a glass of wine and had logged on while the bath was running ( Read more... )

Tonight Henry found out that Aslan is a lion. He was so excited he turned into a lion and prowled around the bedroom for a minute. "Daddy, can we have another chapter?".

This blog is not dead, only resting.

...of Boblink's 10th Anniversary is Bob & Tree's 10th Wedding Anniversary. Crikey, that party in the Honey Pot in Oxford can't have been 10 years ago can it? Can it ( Read more... )

Happy Anniversary Boblink! And in true Bobling style this post is about four months late. I do have an excuse though - I originally wanted to give you all a select number of blogs (in my head five for some reason) that I felt gave you the best bits of Boblink, this of course necessitated me going back through all my blogs and re-reading them to ( Read more... )

I know - it's been ages! I do have a couple of good blogs brewing, I just need some spare time to write them. Anyway in the meantime this is too good not to post. The route is called Suspension Flake and it is at Hound Tor. I had intended to climb it when we were on the boys' weekend away before Henry was born five and a half years ago but when ( Read more... )
