Good effort Chris, I remember meeting you down there last January or Feb and you seemed quite psyched for the Portland  ;D. (p.s. Still got that project on the go under the cavity roof or has it been done now?)

Being syked for Portland is possible more impressive than climbnig Guy Fawkes. Good effort Sircumfrins shows what a bit of dedication and determination can do.

The Big Island?

Is that a variant of the Island (doesn't the original start further round to the right?)

The Big Island is a lower start than The Island. Was a big discussion on numerous forums about it.

Cheers Adam. Seems it's the French being hypocritical because it was a foreigner who did the FA of the higher start? Quell surprise!

Even if Dave started in a slightly unobvious place, Font is full of these starts. Bas/Assis....

Exactly.

As someone on that thread points out, are they going to scrub every problem that has a lower start off the list? I think not. End of argument.

If they did scrub The Island (and therefore set a precedent) would there be a rush to do pointless sitters to all the classics so they can be claimed and renamed?

If a Frenchman had done The Island first then they wouldn't even be having the discussion.

That is a pile of cock. Les Francais and their stupid naming conventions (which UKC are jumping on, quel surprise)  ::)

I was tempted to look for the discussion but came to my senses and backed off quickly when I saw a thread titled "When was the last time you ate corned beef?".

Hey, it's you from that brilliant thread on UKC, years ago! I remember this was the problem you said you wanted to do. Well done for sticking with it, even if you didn't get it by April.  :thumbsup:

Thanks R-man! Just a year and a half late! Haha!

Thank you very much!
Have to be psyched for Portland...don't have anywhere closer to go!
I beasted the project under the lip and called it Gregarious by Nature. V8 i reckon.

all the shit weather we have had, this is a sorry dose of font this month
I rather liked it. Nice mid-grade problems and good to see what you managed despite the snow.

It really does look excellent doesn't it? I had a trip planned there a couple years ago and got rained out. Bummer. Or now, big bummer.  ::)
