Folly Farm


Bruno and Jenny have now officially left work and home, and are now living out of their car until the date of departure. This was celebrated this weekend with a gathering/BBQ at Folly Farm, picturesquely placed squarly in Chew Valley. This is a farm used for educational purposes run by Jen's now former employer. Approximately 50 people from near and far were there in an interesting mix; climbers, collegues, school friends. A staggering array of sausages were eaten, and some alcohol was consumed. Sarah and I camped in the farm grounds. It was great to see everyone again, Simon and Pip down from Leeds, Stu and Avril from the badlands of Norwich and all the people from the wall. On the Sunday, after some sore heads had faded, we went to Cheddar for some bolt clipping in the sun at Arch Rock. I managed to take a surprise lob after a hold came off in my hand and smacked me on the cheek. Me and Sarah, John and Vicki went back to Folly Farm with Bruno and Jenny to finish off the rest of the food.

Chew Valley is an incredibly beautiful piece of country side.
