Like Andy, I'm also really chuffed with how the cheshire guide looks (I can't comment on Andy's book, and anyway I doubt I'd understand it but good work Andy).  Sent Niall a few more changes, but we're so nearly there now.

You're in it Tom.

Punter alert! Trivia Q, I wonder who's mug/back/arse has appeared in the most guides?

My money would be on Colin Binks.

I've just been sent a pdf of the complete and finished Cheshire guide - its looking good. One quick final proof and we'll be pressing print.

YYFY!! Can't wait for this  :2thumbsup:

In other news, I managed a short session at Caley with the wife yesterday, YYFY! First time climbing in 7 weeks!

Unfortunately I'm now paying for it with lots of elbow pain, NNFN...

Had an epiphany moment. Was in Leeds visiting relatives and went for a walk up Ilkley Moor. Never been near gritstone in my life, wandered past the New Statesman and then scoped out the Cow and Calf.

Wow, you gritstone guys are so lucky, the holds are mega grippy and non-rippy. Unfortunately weather was crap but I will be back next year with my shoes and pad.

On a different note, a totall YYFY moment. Went out for a wee sesh at South Head, Wick, couple days ago when a weather window presented itself. Hit my (to date) hardest problem, Lonely Soul, that I have managed to complete only twice in near a hundred attempts. I blasted up it four times in a row. Weird how taking a week out, eating curry and cakes and not going near the beastmaker can somehow make you stronger.

Presumably you didn't try pulling on any jams?

Scan today shows I'm completely free of the psoriatic arthritis that's been fucking me up for 4 years + now. Hips and spine don't ache in the morning, fingers are all working the way they are supposed to - YYFY indeed! Now It's time to get a finger board up to try and recover at least a bit strength in these poor old digits.

After six months of being in limbo and personal turmoil I got the keys to new place in London today.  New start, new chapter, new beginnings....

Five undistinguished damp oranges at Rocher d'Avon. Can't decide if its YYFY because I actually touched rock or NNFN that things have got to such a parlous state that said five oranges might constitute a YYFY?

Life in the Big City! Good luck FD. I can put you in touch with some keen surfers who will want to make weekend trips west if you fancy.

Look forward to watching your clothing get steadily more ridiculous. Have you considered a moustache yet?
