Well that rain that was forecast was no joke. It came down hard the whole day. Fortunately the organisers had stretched tarps over some of the competition blocks and some of the strongest climbers took lessons learnt from last year that you have to take your chances when you have them. Most of the time was spent moping in the van, no reason, just felt like it. The weather cleared slightly in the afternoon, I visited the local bank and joined the queue of local old ladies to get some 5 euro notes I thought I may need for the CAC T-shirts.
The evening got underway with some presentations. At the last minute Loz and Jill from Nottingham appeared with some friends. They are currently on a European road trip, but it was a surprise to see them here. Nicola one of the organisers asked me to do a little impromptu translation in the preamble to the film about the life of Chloe G, to be honest he could have done it perfectly well by himself! But it was pretty cool to be part of it.
After the presentations we caught up over a few beers and made plans for climbing should the rain clear.
