Collected Stealth from work today. he wanted to go to Tor Gro again and check out the far slab. Frank was away on Pen-Y-Fan (again). This time with Jane and he had promised to carry a 20 Kg sack. I told him to fill it with "luxury items" so as to impress Jane. You see, women would not be impressed by someone carrying weights up a mountain. They would be impressed by bottles of wine, comfy mattresses, caviar, picnic hampers. Anyway... you get the idea...! I told Frank that if he did so, then he could forget climbing on Sunday as he'd surely be be tired out! (If you see what I mean!) Anyway... things didn't start off well. Both Stealth and I forgot our boots. We had only our "flip-flop" sandals. Not the best thing for "bush-whacking"! The climb to the foot of the far-left slab proed impossible. Stealth showed off a bit by falling 15 foot down the muddy face, only stopping himself when he grabbed a tree trunk. Eventually we topped out, jumped a barbed wire fence and worked our way over to the top ofthe slab. It didn't look promising. In fact it didn't look interesting at all. I abseiled down and pussicked back up. Stealth didn't bother. Now... we jumped back over the barbed wire fence again and began working our way back through the fields to where we hoped to find the top of Marsh Dance. Problem! Stealth thought it was a BIG problem. The next field that we had to cross was occupied by some rather excited Bullocks. "Oooooer! I don't like the look of them", he said. "No worries... I'm used to 'em", I replied. I armed myself with a stick and proceeded to clout the boldest one straight on the nose! "Awwww... that's cruel", said Stealth! "Duh"! No doubt Stealth would have been a little more upset had the bullock made Stealth his "cow"!! The farmer appeared. We had a chat. It seems that all the rocks are indeed owned by "Awful" Alford... the farmer with the shotgun! Anyway... we finally managed to ab down the slab and raced off to The Joiners. Stealth managed to drink half a pint of beer and half a pint of coke! Tut-tut! Frank and Jane didn't turn up... probably lugging the luxury items paid off...! I wonder if Frank has enough energy left to climb tomorrow!
