Ratho Adventure centre



Back at the re-invented Ratho for the first time last night!

Not much changed as far as I can see.



The have ditched the boulering area under the mezz and made a room for the climbing instructors. I'm told the scuba pool has been covered and the space is being turned into a bouldering cave! The routes are much better in my humble opinion not only for the fact that the notices marking the grades are now of a readable size!



The Tea is free which is a bonus and the climbing is still at concession rate until they properly reopen which is supposed to be the end of this month!

Caerketton Hill

Went a romp up Caerketton Hill and had a play in the boulders / crags.



Great little place for a quiet relax above the city.



The boulers give some interesting if intermittant climbing in a lovely setting!

The quarry was busy with some groups learning to lead and some hillwalkers learning some rope skills.

Something in the loose section due to a bit of duff guide book reading!
