Ahhh, the feel of Avon Limestone under my fingers, I just really hope that she can make it.

So fingers crossed. I so badly need to go climbing...
Indeed, I got all excited too .... been a while since I have been climbing ... hopefully go in a coupla weeks!! ... I take it Avon Gorge is outdoors? {google-fu} ... so you will be climbing here?? ... looks cool

As for everyone else ... This thread seems to have turned into a Blue_ bashing thread ... 'whats up with that'??

You posted some idle banter in a thread which is located within the idle banter section. You've got quite a nerve sunshine.

Ah that be Suspension Bridge Buttress,
with the fantastic route Suspension Bridge arête just visible on the corner there.

There are quite a few excellent routes on this crag, all HVS upwards and I have climbed quite a few of them.

Check this article for sake of interest, although it is a little out of date.

I will be climbing in either Main area or Sea Walls given the chance, can't wait, still not heard if my day out is on yet...

Need to climb....

Exactly, I don't think you made any pretense about it being a thread about you, when it was written by you about you, asking people's opinions, even if those opinions just convince you to quit for a while.

As far as I can tell, I've read most threads since I joined last sept/oct, and Blue has been nothing but helpful to me, don't really see the problem! Sorry to stick my oar in but hey, it's a public forum.

Especially when it comes to fixing bikes/general help with SV's or useful and knowledgable opinions, like the Nadine thread with the busted electrics, I think everyone enjoyed reading that.
