OK, so it looked like I might not have such a hectic month coming up - so what was the best plan? take up a new hobby of course!

On Sunday we popped down to Alien Rock to get a beginners lesson on how to climb.

By the end of the lesson (by which point we did not have strength to continue) we had scaled a few full height walls, thrown ourselves off from 2/3 of the way up (part of the safety training) and attempted to climb an overhang. OK, so I attempted the overhang - Michelle completed it, not sure when I will hear the end of that! 

Needless to say that it was immensely fun and we will be returning again very soon.
