Well I didn't come last last time so things can only get worse, or better.

[Tiberius]

I took no.1 son to round 2 at the depot in Pudsey. I was gonna climb myself, but as soon as I walked in the door I refused to take my jumper or coat off...jeez that was cold. I was warmer outside.

[Brolly]

Cheers to everyone who came down the comp of Friday.

I've posted photos to the comp at http://www.flickr.com/photos/19083292@N00/.

From this shot of Roberto he didn't find it to cold as he showed off his new tights.....



Strong performances from Tim Palmer and Shauna Coxsey who got the highest male and female scores.  Also from juniors Nathan Phillips and Seb Smith.

Next round is at Leeds wall on Jan 22nd.

Did Roberto get the wrong day? They wouldn't look out of place at a roller disco.

Those tights are fantastic, I need some in my life.
