Climbing Trees

We travelled down to Sheffield to visit R and the Grandkids.  Now the kids areolder they a) aren't keen on having their photo taken and b) weren't doing anything exciting, as they had both had activities before we arrived.  MKN had been to Newark to play football for his club, EFM had been to gymnastics.

So I wandered the garden looking for a blip.  Climbing trees was never like this when I was a boy.  They are fortunate to have what by city standards will be a very large garden and at the bottom is this large Birch tree.  The holds are identical to the sort of thing used on climbing walls only held in place with ratchet straps.
