Feel sorry for the very old, isolated, and vulnerable who have to take a bus to get there, can't carry much when they arrive, then leave with only half the messages they tried to get. Sitting ducks for the virus. Not seen a toilet roll, pasta, or hand sanitizer for two weeks now, all disappearing by the trolley load into cars and vans, boxes at a time in some cases. Luckily, I guessed in advance what would happen so I stocked up while it was confined to China.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-61058693973895085922020-03-28T00:01:38.559+00:002020-03-28T00:01:38.559+00:00Hi Andy,

Smooth black vertical basalt with a natural polish and small holds or crack lines that start at HVS to E11. Some of the hardest climbs in Scotland/and or the world. I liked the long low level traverse at V.Diff climbing just above the waves at high tide but other than that it was/is desperate stuff unless you are really good. Not a place for V.Diff to VS climbers to flourish. Might even be up to E13 by now- I'm out of touch with the E grades.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-18726501185742606832020-03-27T21:14:01.640+00:002020-03-27T21:14:01.640+00:00Trouble is getting the fresh stuff in.

As soon as the virus started to spread outside China, long before panic buying set in, I got myself ready. Just as well now with shops shut, restricted opening hours for chemists and spaced queuing at food shops coming in. Thought I'd avoid all that if possible. Think Dumbarton Castle was the longest continuously inhabited fortress in the world dating back before Cleopatra's time to the modern era. Very undervalued due to not being in a tourist city or tourist town.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-27040924104473012612020-03-24T09:31:06.716+00:002020-03-24T09:31:06.716+00:00I am pleased that eventually you came to realise t...I am pleased that eventually you came to realise that you were not abandoned - is your fridge/freezer full now. With this lock down I don't think that mine is anywhere big enough to keep us sustained. <br />I am disappointed now that I never got around to visiting Dumbarton Rock and Castle.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-5426080967092825892020-03-24T00:05:05.863+00:002020-03-24T00:05:05.863+00:00Hi Carol,
