Building him up slowly

Why does everything seem to fall by the wayside during the summer holidays, it's about time we had another post so you don't think we've all fallen off the face of the earth...

Well, i took my kids climbing - indoors not outdoors, my son's not that brave yet... It's hard enough getting him up the tower at fun days so I thought a wee trip to the bouldering wall at Hot Rocks at Tollymore Mountain Centre would be the ideal place to build some confidence skills. I must add it certainly did the trick although it could have been a bit of male pride because he didn't like seeing the smaller kids skimming up the wall like spiders, a little bit of healthy competition certainly didn't do any harm that Saturday.

Hot Rocks sits just behind the Mountain Centre about a mile or so further on past the main entrance to Tollymore Forest Park. It is a reasonably small centre but it utilises every inch so you get the maximum experience from a visit there.
