Nice on TT, made it look easy in the end. Will be making a visit to Almscliff, no doubt it will feel very hard in reality.

NICE ONE TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
What's next?

Had a stolen hour at cow and calf in the bitter wind this afternoon. Got really close to superset which has been 'mildly frustrating me' this year (read p***ing me off). Did it years ago and couldn't get close last time I tried. Fell of the last move going for the jug. Hit the sloper instead. I know what to now...next time

YYFY, my copy of Llanberis Slate arrived today. Can get properly psyched for the Muenchen DAV North Wales Expedition now.

Excellent customer service from The Book Depository UK - a previous copy got lost in the post somewhere between Wales and Bavaria, and when I asked where it was they sent a replacement promptly and with no hassle.

After a quick thumb through, I fond myself nodding in agreement with a review I recall reading somewhere that described this a possibly the best climbing guidebook ever written. Would it be ok, etiquette wise, to just pick any random ukb post by Simon P and wad him for it?

As good a place as any?

[andy_e]

Did a problem yesterday I've been trying for a few sessions. Hardest I've climbed in well over a year. Feeling pretty good at the moment!

[andy_e]

Hardest I've climbed since 2010 apparently

Don't be afraid to namedrop it, Andy. What problem?

[andy_e]

Only Half The Story, Whitehouses. See Power Club for a blow-by-blow recounting.

I just got a promotion and a 20% pay rise    
and I found my missing chalk bag

Where was your chalk bag in the end?  Under the car seat?

Excellent

To continue the YYFYing, I've just booked flights to Boulder for the end of March.. away for a week, 2 1/2 days of meeting - rest for exploring/bouldering

Nice one. Shout if you want some local info. Esp if skiing is planned.

Great - will do closer to the time.. expect it'll just be exploring/try and get some climbing done/mini road trip styleee

in my bouldering mat. I cleaned my entire house trying to find it then I looked in there 
 

[andy_e]

At least you have a clean house now too...

Did you find Shark's passport?

I thought I had lost my climbing wall yearly pass last week, but then found it two days later in the pocket of my climbing trousers.

Big YYFY with a little side of NNFN -

Nat secured a sabbatical for our trip today after one of her bosses emailed HR telling them to do whatever she wants so she'll come back. YYFY.

Sunday I sold our lovely little vRS (to act as a bit more of a financial buffer), which took me ages to find (in good condition) and that I'd intended to own until it died, needlessly!

Come on Paul, look on the bright side - who doesn't like car shopping? Me and a mate at work spent our whole lunch break today coming up with increasingly ludicrous ideas for his step-son's first car...

BM this time round then word? I found some decent looking 328i Coupes for a surprisingly small amount of cash!

Not unsurprising really. It's difficult to shift a gas guzzling, rear wheel drive piece of crap that costs a bomb to maintain and is about as useful as a skateboard in the snow.


Ps sorry you lost your car Paul.

No matter how good they are, unfortunately not. That'd make her Dad far too smug and I'd never get let out at junctions.

Octavia vRS estate probably, or Seat Exeo if they do one with appropriate levels of fun. I actually had stupendous amounts of fun as a passenger in Littlewads Cooper D (as a passenger), it mightn't be the fastest thing on paper but I had a big smile on my face when I got home (nothing else happened). Suzuki swift sport as a little silly bit of fun perhaps... Ok triple T, maybe you're right, I love it really!

 Not that I've been looking or anything

I got two unexpected items of post today, Valentine's day. From HMRC. One explained the calculations. The other was a decent sized cheque.  ...especially since the last time we had dealings, it wasn't very amicable, and I was given a thorough

I wish I had a boss like that.
