Trad limestone Peak climbing with Tim, Ravensdale, my 4th HVS of the weekend. Did 4 pitches, led 3. Absolutely in the groove.

Painful shoulder - hope nothing too serious. Hmmm.

3rd night at Tett's. Food & booze. Great.

Nice evenign road run to old haunts from Tim's, after my best day's gritstone climbing to date (3 x HVS 5a led, all three star quality routes, at Rivelin & Burbage North).

Quite tired! Seems fast when you take climb into it. Running up Freedom Road was VERY TOUGH - no wonder i was OK at running in the 80s!

Travel to Sheffield (whilst we're still allowed to?) to go climbing with Tim. Long, long overdue.... back quite sore.

(Note: back spasm in morning - not pleasant, and worrying for weekend)

Usynligo Green Durdham Downs course. 4.4km. Hmmm. Really not registering at many controls for at least 15 secs. no 9 was awful - 45 seconds? making me doubt i was in right place.

I'd question the omitting of the large triangular open area at no 13 as well.

No 22 was the final straw - all chances of matching Scott's time (due to standing around so much) were going, but this one failed to register, and after about 40 secs i looked at the phone, it said "weak GPS signal" - and I just canned the whole thing on the spot.

"Warm down". Started with a different GPS setting, & no 1 & 2 were not quick, but whatever; jogged across to no 13 to work out the unmarked open , worked it out; jogged back to car.

Back may be an issue this w/e.

BAOC MLS Barossa, Blue course. 6.9km/160m

Nice day, enjoyed it, one small error / confusion(as usual - also Concorde Chase 2016) no 9.

4th, not far behind Adam Conway.

No one cares about O results this week. Not at all, & that's quite right. A very sad day / few days. How lucky I am to live this life. Thought about W & M often during my run.

Well knackered after 3 days climbing in a row, including harder routes into the extremes, courtesy of Matt Thompson who joined us on Sat & Sunday.

Now leading HVS 5a no problem. Probably capable of E1 5b on limestone.
