Regaining my physical consciousness
A snapped ligament in my ankle has held me back too long. Following 3 months of withdrawal symptoms I finally feel like my ankle is once again strong enough to continue climbing on a regular basis. Today was a refreshing reminder of how long it’s been since the last time I was on a climbing wall and now I can’t wait to get back.
I was however supposed to have the company of my dad at the wall in Newcastle but I have no problem climbing alone. Company’s great but once in a while its good to get away from the crowd, that way it’s more of an activity and less of an excuse to socialize, thus a chance to get more climbing done.
Once the climbing was out the way, there was still enough time to meet my dad for a pizza before I was urgently called upon to help out the scouts and the other leaders to prepare for a family camp this weekend at Plessy woods. All that was involved was packing small lorry with an outfit that was much more than just essential for 2 nights.
