Jesus, my post is gibberish. I DID type 1890. Meant 1980. Obviously. There's got to be more gems out there.

Al, good to see you joining me in this humiliation. Can you tell who that is in the Catastrophe photo - the person stood in the pod looks nude from the waist down. I'm just praying to god its not me.

Come on, let's get some properly embarrassing ones up. Verdon 1990, first time I met Simon. Surprising that my wife lets me choose my own clothes given some of the trouser crimes I've committed in the past.



Shit. Well there I was having my first coffee of the morning only to end up spitting it all over the monitor in a mixture shock, shame, horror, embarrasment and pissing myself laughter!! Mark, I thought that pic was long gone...but no!!! one of my many, many hair crimes has come back to haunt me!!

Here's me looking very cool - summer bouldering in 1993. Does this link work? http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=58671

On a serious note compare this with the shot of me there this year. Yes I'm much fatter, but the rock and the ground have suffered badly.

paul evans - cratcliffe (early 90's); moony - 'the thing' (91ish); neil travers, dave thomas, sharples etc - rubicon (?)

Here's a few more:



Regulation shaved haircuts in front of the Biffa van on the Buoux campsite in winter of '90/'91 (l-r: John Boyle, Rob Wilson, Gav Ellis and Craig Devonshire)




Yer man Nathan Wind on Pebble Wall , Caley, around '91 (check out the colourful leg wear in the spotting team - nice.)




This is me with huge Pod chalk bag on one of the Blackpool traverse walls, around '84




Me again, getting stuck into Samarkand, Anglezarke Quarry, circa '84

What spotting team (few too many folded arms in there for my liking) ?
Nice shell suit on the right.

Who would have suspected that, fifteen years on, the only one in the photo who doesn't look daft is the moustachioed Frenchman?

UKC don't allow cross linking. The best you can do is either save the pic to your computer and host it elsewhere, or failling that justs post a link to the UKC page.
