Fool me Once I'm really enjoying this despite a storyline which stretches credulity at times. It's sufficiently compelling to keep me watching at least; Joanna Lumley is remarkably good at playing a nasty old matriarch. It's on Netflix.

Also, never been so nervous about downloading files from a memory card ever before. Might do it one by one....

I'd recommend not putting sika on a Pembroke trad classic. For context, routes and entire cliffs at Pembroke fall over from time to time, like the Public Enemy area at St Govan's. All part of the fun. I don't know of any examples of holds being reinforced with sika at Pembroke previously - if they have been, the sculptor has probably kept quiet about it.

Mon - shoulder static holds, hell on earth, Ioved it. Bentover rows, high pulls.
Tue - AM as usual; PM board climbing, did the problem I'd set the previous session, then set and climbed another one. Board fitness increased by 100%, this inevitably means that problems' difficulty must have decreased by 100%, because the glass is always, always half empty. Back work.
Wed - DL 531 week 4. Training max 138 kg. TRX.
Thu - AM as usual; PM shoulder static holds heavy.
Fri - AM as usual; PM GM 5x5 110kg with pause, bentover rows.
Sat - AM as usual.
Su - regular weights.

My Subaru Legacy has developed a very loud jet engine type noise. It drives completely fine but above about 30mph a whine develops which gets louder and louder the faster you go. It is worst around 60mph and then dies off a bit about 70. Its just about ignorable when driving but apparently for rear passengers its fairly deafening. Internet research/asking knowledgeable friends suggests this is likely to be either the rear diff or wheel bearings. The latter seem particularly bad on Subarus, but there is no discernable change in the pitch of the noise when I change lanes/ go round corners. However I'm not sure whether this would be as noticeable in the rear bearings as the front. There is also no change in the pitch/volume when I shift into neutral. As I brake the noise decreases.
Obviously I would prefer it to be the bearings as the expense of replacing a diff is likely to be more than the car is worth. Anyone got any suggested methods of diagnosis that I can do without getting the car on a lift? Is it worth taking a punt on it being the bearings and getting them done? Will changing the diff oil make any difference to the noise?
Currently my plan is just to drive it til something breaks and ignore the noise but I feel like it might be worth the gamble of spending a bit more money on it as its only done 110k miles and has hopefully been reasonably looked after as it has a full service history. All input appreciated!

Is she not meant to be training for the Olympics?

So in summary, we have a grade system in Britain that only works for on-sighting. Routes =>E7 90+% of the time aren’t attempted onsight. The grading system doesn’t make much sense for these routes. All roads lead to H grades. 🙄

Planning to do more of the same the coming week. I’ll be down in Weston on Tuesday afternoon/evening to Thursday if anyone needs their rope holding or would like to do some trad. punting.
Bad timing Duncan I am back up North

Just give her the Olympic Gold now, so she can stop wasting time doing comps and get on with real climbing. She absolutely paths it.
