Escaped from Kate's folks garden.  Found a Muntjack(?) Deer.  Chased it up and down the road like a mad thing and fell over on a gravelly drive.  Lost two claws and lots of skin.  And then I lost all my money at the vets.

Apologies for the  , I'll post some aims now.

2012 was not a vintage climbing year (except Squamish), so I will make some public goals for a bit of motivation.

1.  10 7a's on the bolts. 
2.  Klondike, Pocket City and Solid Gold at Pen Trwyn.
3.  The Big Groove and Rat Race on Main Cliff.
4.  Red Wall on Red Wall.
5.  Something easy at the easy end of North Stack Wall.
6.  Go to Pembroke at least once (no trips this year) and do another route in the leap.  (Maybe Bloody Sunday if I have a cup of MTFU).
7.  Go to Cornwall (Bosigran and Sharpnose are pre-requisites).
8.  Climb in the Pass a bit more.
9.  Get on Laurin or Flaky Wall at High Tor.
10.Something on Craig Arthur.  Maybe Manikins of Horror.

Possibly....
a. when is it
b. this depends entirely on whether I can even run as the knee ligament damage I did in September still gives me gyp sometimes and I've not even tried running on it yet...

[GCW]

March 24th 2013.  26 miles over rough ground and big hills.   

The Rivington night race (10k) is on next weekend, should still be spaces.  Good fun if the Delamere race is anything to go by.

11 - ski / board more
12 - sort out shit at work either by fight or flight
