After the adventures of yesterday, I decided to return to more familiar ground - The Buck Stone on the Welsh/Forest of Dean border.
Got extremely hot & sweaty cycling up the Staunton Road, but within in no time I was freezing to death on the rock. Was seriously cold today! Bbbrrrr!
But, I did manage to have quite a good climb - and survived for just over an hour before thinking I might die and heading back to the warmth of the house - and a long hot bath!
I did the route I had done on my first outing to the Stone (see my first blog entry) and worked out a few more on the West and East sides. The North side was pretty covered in moss so I left that for another day.
The Buck Stone is proving a useful place to get to grips with real rock and building my confidence - you can't get more than about 5 feet from the ground!
I like the Buck Stone.
