Oh my god please let me unsee that! I've spent the last 5 years trying to forget that trip and now it's right back there  :o
I know, this is :offtopic: but what problem is your profile photo of? looks like something I recall from my first trip to font back in 1995 but I've never been able to work out where it was and its bugged me ever since... in fact I would go as far as to say it might make me do more climbing , not give up as would really like to head back to the forest, not been there in a very long time.

It is indeed Jo's Special http://bleau.info/cuisiniere/9598.html

Not hard but a great bit of rock and nice climbing... Fnid did point me at it IIRC but I draw the line that he talked me up it - the twat!

;D

Jo's special is a weird problem. It is really easy to bail around the corner once you get about half height, which makes it pretty easy. Going direct to the top on the left feels much harder (crux at the top i thought).

'Jimmy and the gang'

Its not even necessarily the video itself its the accompanying blurb on epictv that mean I can't watch it in the first place.

I'm self imposing a media blackout on all jimmy webb and daniel woods stuff, when watching them I feel like my IQ is being eroded down and, as anyone who knows me can attest, I have limited resources to work with in the first place.

I feel like that with most epic TV stuff. Ultimate dumbing down of any worthy story to give it mass appeal.

yeah, I like to hold onto people's waists and sometimes put my palms against their firm buttocks - I say "people", but that's how the hot chicks choose to be called, you know; and the paying customer has 60% of the call
