28 years in the making..

At Minus Ten, Stoney today, with friends Matt and Joe. Beautiful when the sun was out.

I think I tried Sean's Problem for the first time, back in about 1988. For some reason, I'd never been able to stick the move where you reach over with your right hand, while standing on the two small edges above the break..

.. until today!  :dance1:  :2thumbsup:

I'll have to go back for the tick of course, but that was bloody fantastic. I was always solid on a lot of the other classics, but that one move was always a stopper, and doing it with only one of the small edges doesn't count. Trashed today too.

Mega.

Cheers boys  8)

Lovely stuff Dave.

My girlfriend's just got a job in Rotherham. We'll be moving to Sheffield in a month or so. :dance1:

Nice one Mike, where are you thinking of living?

I'd say in the Summer under Hubble, in the winter outside of the New School Room.

Nice one Mike, where are you thinking of living?

Somewhere on the west/ southwest side of the city- proximity to Rotherham is not that much of a priority. Plan is to rent for a year before looking at buying somewhere. Rache has lived in Sheff in the past so has more of an idea than me- my conditions are basically 1) Close to cliffs 2) not accessed by steps with human faeces next to them.

Slightly closer to Yorkshire grit then. You'll have to come and get your guidebook back!

I've seen the storage invoice, Mike. It really is building up at an alarming rate.

A week after flying up from a weekend in London and I can't find my camera. Que: "where did I last have it"? Plane? Bus?  Hmm...let's phone Ryaniar...oh no the airline isn't responsible for left items. Phone Glasgow airport....   

"WHat make is it"?

"Olympus OM-D"

"Yes sir, we have your Camera"

 :dance1:

My lass had asked me to get her our shared bag down from the luggage rack which was just enough distraction for me to totally forget about the camera on the floor...  :slap:
