Without any doubt,  the one that stops me from reaching my potential outside the most, is the bloody weather!   :evil:

i find that the inability to throw myself around with gay abandon,which i seem to be able to do indoors.
might be something to do with the rock being ever so rough out side. :crying:

Is his length useful so he can wave it about at everyone once he gets to the top?   :shock:

Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
 :hi:


You jammy bastard. Doylo, if you fancy a chilled out day, getting some easy mileage in, head to the Catacombs on the Sherwin Plateau. Beautiful Place, awesome rock, nowt too hard though. Some pictures here ; http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4209725&a=31352651&f=
