Karin and Dan off to Potato day this morning so after a little homework Lottie and I headed out for a walk over Longstone Edge. Navigation practise for Lottie in anticipation of her D of E expedition.   Chip butties in Outside at Curbar then an hour to spare before heading to Wirksworth for Maths, so went to catch the last of the daylight at the Trackside boulder.  A quick warm up and I fancied my chance on Trackside it had previously felt a soft touch problem one where once you had the knack it felt easy, but not today.  I ended up several times staring at the top but unable to remove a hand.  Still weak, not warmed up, too many chips, carrying an extra stone in weight, fading light. . .  lots of excuses but I'll have to return.
