Website Updates

Posted on October 13, 2008 by Matt

hi all,

autumn 08 is here and the leaves are changing, the crags is a beatuful place to be with the cool days perfect for maximum friction on the rock and the wye valley is quieter with the school groups heading off to the class rooms. this has got to be my favourite time of year! the river is stunning to paddle down with the trees changing colour as you pass along quietly perfect days for open boating! another week or so and it will look stunning. we were out with groups in the valley last week and with the sun on the rock it was warm and possibly the dryest its been for a while!

as you know we also run sled dogs as a hobby and would like to welcome some new team mates! lolly one of my lead dogs had a litter born last week, 2 boys and 3 girls, they are getting fat and round and are beautiful puppies and hopefuly become our main team in the next few years as the top team at the moment will begin to slow down.

the racing season starts again next month and we are going for gold again to try and better our results of last year, we won 5 qand got 3 second places ending up with us coming first over all in our class for the season.

wealso have some exciting changes planned for learn2climb

we hope to update the site in the next few months, we are changing a few things around here and will be focusing on mainly providing climbing instruction, will still offer kayaking canoeing surfing and the other sports but to a lesser degree.

we are planning on teaming up with 'monster climbs' tony penning to offer some new adventures in climbing both in the UK and abroad. tony has been a long time friend and fellow instructor and is possibly, even after nearly 40 years of climbing, the most excitable guy i know when it comes to touching a piece of rock!

so..keep an eye on the site and we'll hopefully see you on the crag in the near future! enjoy the autumn and we hope to see some of the familier faces out again this fall!

best wishes
