Jet Lag
I’ve just had a new experience. Coming back from a trip away to find the weather at home better than where I have just been. (exclude Norway from that!). I’m a day into the UK from China. But don’t get me wrong, China was awesome, and good climbing weather too, I just didn’t coincide my trip with the sunny days that they usually have at this time of year. And it’s sunny here. I went straight out to the peaks, and then realised I was totally jet lagged and totally useless! 8 hours sleep in 4 days, not a good amount!
And also suffering that ‘just back’ feeling, a bit empty and plan less! I always get it after a Rock Trip, these events being one the best events of the year. Being invited along is a massive privilege, hanging out with the best climbers in the world at the best destinations. China was just off the scale, hard to get your head round. I’m telling people about it now and doubting my own description – was I even there or was it a dream? So much to tell.
Look out for my article in CLIMB next month which has the full details: Why you’d want to go, what there is, what the routes are like and what the stars thought of it all.
