"In the depths of winter..."

"...I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer."


Welcome to February!

Sorry it is the last day of Feb. No excuse, I'm just a terrible blog writer.

My resolution for February was less intense than January, I only resolved to do one thing.

Climb the O2. (Dun dun durrrrr...)

I spent the weekend at my lovely friend's house in Warwick, and arrived back in London on the16th to conquer the Dome. With my CB in tow, I rocked up, got kitted out, and set off.

The weather was horrific, really grim. Freezing wind and buckets of rain. We were head to toe in waterproofs (sexy) and had heavy harnesses swinging from our waists (fit).

It wasn't as slippery as I thought it would be, but it was really bouncy! The view was obviously lovely,but hard to enjoy it in the pouring rain. Plus we were climbing with a bunch of chavs - seriously, who knew chavs were still a thing?!

So yeah...probably wouldn't do it again, or recommend it really, but it was a fun outing and I'm glad I tried it.
