Bennybeg with the siblings...

Jenni on her 1st outdoor climb since she was a young'un...

Now that I have a 2 week period free from work and lectures I decided that a a trip back to Bonnie Scotland would be on the cards. Perfect time to visit family and of course get some climbing/walking days logged.

I had only been home a few hours and had already planned to get some sport climbing done on the Tuesday (8th April). A chance to justify purchasing the new Scottish sport climbs guide book and to visit a new venue was not an opportunity I planned on wasting.

Josh on one of his 1st outdoor lead climbs...

So myself, Jenni and Josh made the 1 and a half hour drive to Benny Beg. Benny Beg is a cracking wee crag just 200 metres from a fantastic little cafe. What more could you ask for, eh..? The rock is quartz-dolerite and generally very solid. What the crag lacks in height (between 8 and 15 metres) it more than makes up for in a number of good quality routes. During the day we managed to bag around 11 routes between us whilst enjoying the wall to wall sunshine that was on offer at this south facing crag. Bliss.
