1.5 hours at Substation, new Macclesfield wall. It's very good.

That's good to hear, I'm heading there Friday morning. I'll have the kids in tow, any opinion on child-friendliness (with regard to setting rather than gimicky kid shit)?

2. Gentle indoor routes. Couldn't do F6b+/c as that felt too risky on elbows (tender afterwards anyway). Dire. Had strop and threw shoes across floor.

Substation is pretty child friendly because there are easier angled sections to play on but also a mezzanine with a low bouldering wall upstairs. I quite like that both rooms are easy to monitor if you want to give them freer rein to play.

Cafe, woody, campusboard etc.

Take a little padlock for a locker for your valuables if you can.

Oh, 40 minute run tonight.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to take a stepmother to guard the valuables rather than a padlock  :lol:

Out on the grit yesterday with my boys and Conors. Team ascent of Trackside with me lagging the field. Only tried and done it once before - 21 years ago <gulp> Tommy went on to do Sidetrack and Early Doors

Replacement scales arrived confirming that I’m 6lbs over target weight.

Gardening today, Gardoms tomorrow. Might do a bit of reconnaissance with dogs before dark.

Good to get first 7 of the year. No booze obvs

No booze.

2. Day out helping my gf with fieldwork. Lots of walking up and down steep river tributaries collecting data. Stretching in the evening.

3. Drove to Wales and had an afternoon at the cromlech boulders. Nice day and lots to go back for. Stretching in the evening

4. Stayed overnight in Llandudno and had a day out at sheep pen boulders. What a place. Nice day out and managed some 6C and 7A which I'm happy with. Should do some stretching when I get home

Bouldering at Gardoms with the boys and Dolly yesterday. No tickage. Then went to Foundry for a moderate pump on the auto belay.

Weighed in 2lb lighter than Monday but visceral fat higher than normal at 7 although I don’t know what to read into that or even know what the 7 stands for except I’m usually 5 when lean and 6 when a bit heavier.

Rest day climbingwise today so probably gardening ‘exercise’ today - leaf clearing and bush chopping. Indoor training day tomorrow

3. An hour on the Wave plus TRX IYTs and core.
4. Some stretching although saying it was 30 mins might be stretching it some.
5. Baslow bouldering. 3+ hours of trying hard and ticking nowt. Brilliant.

3 - 35 minutes physio including dry needling and taping. Phil positive as always. Didn't bollock me much for overdoing it over Xmas but then again I probably bollocked myself enough. No exercise cos reasonz.
4 - 1.5 hours gym including the fucking sledge, gentle non-aggravating weights and decent CV despite feeling delicate.
5 - 2 hours indoor bouldering, hard to warm up, elbows felt very susceptible and was demoralising struggling to do the easy stuff. Managed to do a few okay slabs after I packed up my tiny violin.

5. Good day at malham today. After 2 days bouldering in north Wales I felt pretty readied trashed but had 5 or 6 goes on F&EE. Cold rock limited some progress but happy to get to get up it a few times.
Not much dry hence the same climb over and over.

Felt way harder than last time I was there a few years back but I'm putting it down to freezing rock and no rest days. Feel like I'd walk up it again next time. Made me psyched for malham this year!!

Yeah I was up with Andy. Most things were pretty soaked on the catwalk. Rated PG to F&EE were dry. Raindogs pockets and some footholds were wet but dryable. Everything else would be a non starter

The oak had some wet bits low down (pockets which you go out left to about 4m up) but not sure about the top.

Someone was on obsession which was okay plus a few other lines up top but I can't remember which were mentioned.

Jan 1 - Jan 3. Skiing in a daze of drunkenness (due to extraordinarily aggressive plying from mother in law ... the booze that is.). Shoulder rehab exercises every day.
Jan 4. Walking 60 min. 30min at good clip. A few shoulder rehab exercises. Plenty of booze.
Jan 5. Flying back home very early from Geneva. Fingerboard max session, pullups, a bit of core, some aerobic testing on fb. Weight 69.1 kg at 11am before eating (can't afford having breakfast at Geneva airport, because not made of swiss francs.)
Walking 2 x 15 min at brisk speed. Biking 2x15 min.
Jan 6. Fingerboard, max hangs + anaerobic function testing (was even worse than I could imagine... I knew my short strength endurance was shit, because I have a hard time doing 20 mvs route at grades similar to my max onsight level for 50m routes). Shoulder rehab exercises. Morning weight : 69.9kg.
