I went out today. It was fucking great  :2thumbsup:

Got the last speck in the lay-by for 3 cars. The drivers of the other two nowhere to be seen. Saw one group of three walkers on the approach. The track that runs past the crag had three pairs of walkers go past all day.
Nobody else at the crag.
Used sanitiser when I arrived and when I left. Managed to not touch any gates by using the bamboo cane of my stick brush to lift the latches. Overkill, but it was like being in the crystal maze so all added to the fun.

Even found an undocumented boulder and did 9 new problems.

 :punk: :punk: :punk:

Lovely stuff. Sounds like a great day for the soul.

Sounds good Will. Quite a surprising proportion of Yes votes to the poll - would be good to hear some views from them. Though without naming crags as I agree with danm on that point

Another message:

due to the unbearable bollocks posted on ukb and their self congratulatory circle jerking compounded by the moral high ground adopted by ukc/h and ukb I entered a dissociative fugue state on several occasions coming to with chalked hands and a rope between my legs
Yes I climbed but I can’t remember any of it

Good move, not the smartest flag to be flying.

It's not them we need to worry about Will. Good move on pulling the poll I think Shark, hope you enjoyed getting out today.

One could ask what the purpose of this poll was?

It's just information. I was very surprised by the result.

I'm amazed at the numbers on social media who were congratulating the keep-fit stone wall traverses during stage 1 whilst simultaneously slaughtering anyone who dared to climb on stone that hadn't been rearranged by human hands. Some of these stone walls under railway bridges etc appeared to have collected more chalk than demon wall roof!

At the beginning of lockdown I thought I would end up climbing on rock but built a board in the first 24 hours and that has kept me occupied. Annoyingly, I now have a bacterial infection in my foot and can't put shoes on!
