Be interesting to see how that outdoor ancap action goes when you’re feeing fresher, may have identified something to work on there that would show quick returns.
11.8-9 average 163.3lbsMT. AM Weighing heavy. Home warm up. Tor. Hot. No one there. Like a pro took my fan. Like a punter forgot the battery. Again. Andy Harris swung by with kids and had a natter.Tried the hard moves on Bens then had an unsuccessful go at trying to do AnCap on THFML. Managed one set of 3 with a minute rest between goes then quickly went to shit when I tried a second set 5 mins later. Couldn’t even do it once when I tried a 3rd set. Went to station cafe with PoppyW. AM was going to join Keith and Mark at X but felt wiped. Quick test on the pull-up bar confirmed zero snap.T Still tiredF AM Did a home warm up but felt tired. Went back to bed instead of going to the Tor and slept till 1pmS GardeningS Eve Driving to PembrokeWas hoping to do a decent amount of training this week but was too tired (presumably from previous week in Wales as can’t think what else) which was annoying as wanted to start doing some groundwork for RRG. In more positive news Poppy exceeded the required grades to do Human, Social and Political Sciences at St Catherine’s, Cambridge. She’d really set her heart on the course so massive relief all round that’s she’s got in. Also lined up some lodgers so house won’t be empty when her and Tommy leave (he’s starting a one year industrial placement at Glaxo in Stevenage as part of his Chemistry MSc). Pembroke with Duncan this week. Aiming to get Duncan to push himself, try another E5 which I’ve not done before (Circus, Circus and/or John Wayne sound suitably amenable) and get on Stackpole although tide times are a bit shit.
Duncan doesn’t do DWS. I’m wary of it too

Recently did The Big Dig 7A at Earth Quarry (jury is out as to whether I accidentally did the Big Eliminate 7A+ just by accident, either way its def soft)
I might be more tempted by DWS if the water was 28C like the Great Barrier Reef!
I think you'd be surprised how warm the water is
T: AM: Surf @ Cayton - Set alarm for 6 am but get woken by the sun at 5ish... Decide to not try and get more sleep and am rewarded by a magical sunrise, an uncrowded lineup and some mint waves! Bigger than I was expecting too...Really struggled to get out the back, managed to catch a few with one being way larger than expected (swell was supposed to be 4-5ft but this bad boy was more like 8!! Would have bailed but once I realised it was that big I was already committed), ballsed my takeoff meaning I stood up way too late and slightly off-balance so got completely flipped by some chop as the wave broke... Knocked the wind out of myself and took two on the head (not quite a hold down but close!)... Had to have a bit of time out after that and spent the rest of the session working on my pop in the white water... Totally trashed but back in Sheff and at work by lunchtime... Great!
Power club:S. Spent the night at a local campsite, first time having the little one (8 months now ) sleep in the campervan, slightly stressful but everyone survived! Yay!
Seems like you were probably walking out while I was walking in! I concur, the waves were big, especially for me since I can barely surf

To all those surfing…If I had a lesson whilst in Cornwall, are you likely to get much done in 90 mins? It’s something I’ve always wanted to try.Don’t want to get into it properly but if, by the end of 90 mins, you might be able to actually do some tiny waves I might try to organise it.

Found this desperate trying to manage noise etcWe put him down at 7, spent an hour getting him to stop crying and go to sleep (technical crux), then sat outside drank a bottle of wine and successfully snook into the van at 10 without waking him (redpoint crux), only to erupt into screaming at about 10:15 (fell clipping the chains). Then did 3 hour sleep cycles with a screaming match in between for the rest of the night! (few laps of the crux for training) Type 2 fun.
