M - Swam in the murk 400m at 16C. Not quite as masochistic as last week. The usual hip flexibility work and shoulder conditioning.
T - Drove down to Weston. Stopped off at Woodcroft Quarry to climb with The Ski Instructor. Conditions were dreadful, 90% of the quarry was dripping wet, the remainder merely damp. Several 6a to 6b (Saudi Air), a good effort under the conditions I thought.
W - Attempting to get Mum some help from her GP. Saw a paramedic on the second visit and, very briefly, an actual doctor. Unfortunately there was a potentially dangerous mistake in the prescription which took a third visit to sort out. Fortunately I noticed before opening the tablets at home. The practice is rated Inadequate by the CQC. I know one word conceals a lot of nuance but the report indicates safety is one of the reasons for the rating and mentions issues with non-medical prescribing. Moral dilemma: I’ve not told Mum. She needed a considerable amount of chivvying to get to the GP in the first place and I don't want to further erode her fragile confidence. I'd like to put in an official complaint if it nudges the practice to improve their systems however it needs her permission and signature to do this. Any thoughts?
Swam one lap of the Marine Lake (~500m) to decompress from all this. Sea temperature is supposedly 12C but I’m sure the lake warms up faster.
T - Woodcroft Quarry with the Ski Instructor again. Not as wet. More easy sport ticks including Still Nice and Still Sleazy, the route of the crag, but one of the more optimistic three star ratings in the known universe. Back to London.
F - Hip flexibility. Walked 10km.
S - Fingerboard pickups, left only, all grips, to 36kg. Right elbow rehab. pick-ups to 22kg. Hip/leg conditioning: single leg squats, box steps etc.
S - Swam in the murk for 400m (17C). Lovely! Hip flexibility, shoulder conditioning.
Another new climbing partner and some might count Woodcroft as a new crag. I’ve not climbed there before but only because it looked so shit when I walked on by to Fly or GO wall. It did not disappoint! It was good for some easy rehab. climbing and, at long last, my elbow seems to be on the mend. Off to N Wales for some easy trad. followed by Devon for a family Whitsun break.
