Mynydd Climbing Club

From Emily L:

“This week’s FMT challenge comes from me – my enthusiasm for all things daft, and an earlier ambition to be a florist lending itself well to this one! [See you at the Not Royal this Thursday for the story of how a few years ago I ended up having to pretend I wanted to be a ‘forest’ if pupillage didn’t work out…]

Anyway.

Challenge this week is to don your head torch and get adventuring once again –

Either join me in “bringing the outside in” with a flower moon bouquet with stems acquired by the light of the moon (see “tutorial” on the facebook page) OR maybe explore the cellar, the attic, the cupboard under the sink, or the streets close to home and try to shoe-horn the flower theme in there – with your outfit perhaps?

Submit photos/videos of your efforts into the lockdown activities dropbox here : https://www.dropbox.com/request/bWNTgix1LcYXTtw672v6

You’ve got all week, but you’ll need to get cracking for the proper full moon.

To view other submissions for this week, please go to: https://mynydd.org.uk/lockdown-activities/ ”

For those of you eagerly awaiting the results from Liz’s Cryptic Climbs quiz, the winner was Catherine E with all 30 answers correct. Abi & David came in joint second with Jo & Julian B at 29 points a piece. Submissions (and therefore correct answers) can also be found on the lockdown activities page.
