Oh bugger.

I have what may be a problem. An old injury has arisen and it bloody well kills. I broke my femur and pelvis in a car crash back in 2001 and I have had no trouble with it for ages until the last few days. I am getting excrutiating pains in my leg and hip. It feels like it is gonna pop again and walking is hard work. I am hobbling about like an old fella and it is pissing me off in a big way. I was hoping to get out this week but if this carries on I am going to have to pay the quacks a visit. I know exactly what they will say so I'm almost inclined not to go. They will just give me some painkillers and send me on my way. So as a result I am back to sitting on the sofa drinking beer. Could be worse!!!

Some times it seems as though everything and everyone conspires against you. Yesterday and today are perfect days to be out somewhere but various things have stopped me. The biggest issue was the car failing it's MOT which has left me without transport and a few £'s worse off. Ry and Andy are currently at the Bowderstone and I am sitting in Kwik Fit waiting to get my car sorted. Balls!

I am off to the North East tonight for work and am looking forward to catching up with my old mate Ben. When we used to work togther at Cotswolds we had many a fine session climbing and when he moved away I lost my main climbing partner. He is running the London marathon this month so there won't be any beers drank but it will be good to catch up. I'm taking my boots with me as I may get a chance for some climbing at some point.

It's hard work trying to keep up with this blogging business!!!

Not massive amounts of stuff been happening recently. I have actually been getting out more than I thought I would and have enjoyed a few great sessions at Carrock Fell. Me and Ry spent quite some time trying to find a really cool niche that Ry had previously climbed some time ago. When we did finally find it he could do the moves but no longer had his confidence cap on for the height element. He'll get it next time I'm sure. I did quite a few little problems and enjoyed myself loads.

The purchase of the Beastmaker has gone on hold due to the car failing it's MOT. Gutted. I will be making a purchase at the end of the month though.
