So I get a text from J at about 5pm asking if I wanted to come with him to the Plymouth Cruisers meet, why not..... so a few hours later I meet him in Plym and we head on down in his VXR, taking the A38 through to Crownhill way, a sketchy moment was had! Lots of speed, little bit of racing with another VXR and a wobbly front end! Ha.
Either way we got there, following a fucking gorgeous GTR in through the gates! Yeah there were some Corsa's and 106's but generally the cars were pretty damn nice, one VX8R put everything to shame, the grumble of that V8 was fucking beautiful! Haha. A few other cars worth mentioning were a few Scoobies, Trans Am, a couple of Evo's and a Clio that had the loudest exhaust I've seen on a car that small! Soon enough PC Plod turned up in vast numbers, riot vans, undercover, the lot! Blocked off the entrance and started checking people out - couple of people got nicked and an arrest or two but generally not too bad. Eventually everyone got fed up of them getting in the way as usual (and considering how many were there, plymouth streets mustve been empty!) so the meet dispersed pretty early around 10pm. Oh well.

On to the better stuff! Wen't down to the Dewerstone today and after a bit of instruction and gear placement practice I led my first trad climb! Was good, nowhere near as awkward as I'd imagined but the route was relatively easy (VD I think?), a good one to start on though! Looking forward to progression, got a few on my wishlist for the (distant) future. Many thanks to Dan W for the help, unfortunately we're now in his work portfolio hence the pictures below!
