You know what’s really satisfying?

Laying new mats in your Bouldering gym.

Smooooth.

Nice.

I scraped up Blind Date on Weds... been working it on and off for probably 5 years. And my hardest grade on Peak Grit.

Normally that would be a full on grade 1 YYFY for me - but this week has been overshadowed by MrsTT waiting for biopsy results following a mammogram last week.

YYFY all benign 👍👍

What a rollercoaster Tom! The worry, the send, the relief. I would bet you feel exhausted now.

Waiting on biopsies. Dante’s worst nightmare doesn’t come close.

Thanks for all the messages everyone. MrsTT is (rightly) knackered and just disappears up to bed with a large glass of red wine :)

One of my Instagram posts was liked by Danny Rampling.
Which was kinda cool, but, it turns out, he’s a former Para and still very active in Tabbing and Yomping events (load bearing, endurance racing)!
I had no idea, back in the day, that he was a former.

Fantastic news about Mrs TT.

I appreciate this is very very late, but that is wonderful news. Sorry not to pick this up earlier  :great:

Yes, Blind what?  ;) nice work TT.

And Matt  :thumbsup: please tell us more about "load bearing"

Competitors are required to carry a set load. Open male: 35lbs +food and water (so usually 40-45lbs at the start). Full mountain safety equipment and (most organisers insist) no dead weight, so load must be made up of “useful” kit. Boots are also a requirement. No low rise footwear.
You can be randomly targeted for weight checks on route and at finish.
The comps have their origins in various military test marches (most notably, here, the SAS/SBS selection marches. The Fan Dance, Richochet etc. But also other units variations). Not only military formers and currents compete, plenty of civvies take part.
It’s a worldwide thing and the “Gone Tabbing” community is huge (look them up on Facebook).

Danny is out of retirement and DJ’ing again, apparently.
