Non running entry!

Apparently our gym membership this month gives us free access to Ratho, so perhaps this weekend we'll pop along. Since this would be the first time in about a year I've been to a climbing wall (not been climbing on rock either), I was surprised to learn that also this weekend there is something worth watching on TV. BBC Scotland have a live climbing programme, The Great Climb; four pairs of climbers doing routes in the Cairngorms. Dave Macleod will be climbing a new route, whether obscenely hard or merely ridiculously hard, and the other pairs will no doubt be fun to watch too.

Apparently they're pioneering new techniques to film this in HD, I wonder if it will make as much of an impact as the televised climbing on the Old Man of Hoy some years ago. Hopefully the weather holds up for them.... 13:00-19:00 in Scotland, a shorter programme at 17:30 south of the border.
