Such a nice day that I just couldn't resist getting out for a short run. Up to Bolehill, stables and back, feeling fine but still very bunged up.

Climbing at the Edge with Jen, GG, Shane and Heather. We were there for most of the day, but I didn't climb very intensively. Mostly on top ropes, but Shane and Heather got me up a couple of lead routes as well. A good day out.

Throat not so sore after some soothing drinks last night, but not feeling any better. More rest required.

I've caught a cold, no surprise really.

Nice run out to Wharnecliffe with Rob and Pete. Rainy, sleety conditions, but it was all misty and atmospheric in the woods with quite a bit of snow still on the ground. Great fun!

C • is the forest still there? 1

Steady and unenthusiastic run up Loxley with Jen for the first half. Felt tired after the drive home and it was very icy and wet.

Good climbing session at the Foundry with Jen and the Candys. Managed to climb quite a few routes before getting tired. Enjoyed doing some 'up' climbing instead of just bouldering for a change.

Home from York for a brief overnight stop-off and then straight down to Bristol. Ran a tempo session on the roads from my Grandparents' place, down to Stanton Wick, Stanton Drew, Pensford and back x3. Took it easy on the downhill side of the triangle then tempo effort on the other two (uphill) sides. 16.35, 16.13, 16.18, the last one felt much harder. I managed to see the same confused walker 4 times, he was very supportive. Followed by a very pleasant xmas dinner and mulled wine!
