Rock climbing safety staff training today at the crags above Colwyn Bay. While looking at good practice for looking after groups of climbers, I couldn’t help noticing a little Orchid in bloom on one of the ledges!
As well as the theory stuff and discussion, we also got to climb a few routes too.
When I got to the top of the crag, there were Orchids everywhere!
Later that afternoon, I did an interview for a Bangor University student who has designed a new type of ice axe. Shame there is no ice to try it out for real as it looked great!
