UKC

I am desperate to get out but unable to climb yet as I am still recovering from shoulder surgery.

Just wondering why the 256 other people logged on th the UKC forum site are not out climbing on this beautiful day???

In reply to Christheclimber: Because this morning I drove down to Conway to look at a boat. Got there to find it's sold! Lovely boat though and cheap, so can see why it was snapped up.

In reply to Christheclimber:
Because some of us are working! And, seeing the mass hysteria outside and on the TV - it's not at all a bad place to be!

In reply to Tyroneslater: That said, does anyone actually ever log off? I don't turn my PC off and never log out of anything. I reckon a fair portion of that 250 odd are nowhere near their PCs

In reply to Christheclimber:

Work !

In reply to Christheclimber:

Because I'm working, but driving to Donegal tonight for 3 days of sun and sea-cliffs

In reply to Christheclimber: im writing a uni assignment that i should have done ages ago then have work the rest of the weekend!

In reply to Christheclimber: Ill and finger knackered.

In reply to Christheclimber:



I finished work at 7am.

probably not a good idea to go climbing after being awake for 36 hours. I have had 3 hours kip and probably won't go to bo-bos till I've consumed large amounts of rum at 11pm

In reply to Christheclimber:

Cos I got back from Spain two days ago and spent yesterday galloping round the Manifold taking pics for Peak Lime. I need some time to get organised and a Bank Holiday is always a good bet for NOT going climbing!

In reply to Christheclimber:
Just finished work, but am wishing i was climbing!
Checking on here to see if anyone is looking for a climbing partner tomorrow.

In reply to Christheclimber: Ordinary working day here in France, and its been raining, with worse forecast to come so doubt if I'd have made the effort to get to 'bleau even if I had the day off

In reply to Christheclimber:
Thesis to be handed in soon. Went for a run over the hills this morning tho.

In reply to Christheclimber:

Studying, off out tomorrow though.

In reply to Christheclimber: Studying! took the dog for a walk tho...

In reply to Christheclimber:

ruined finger

In reply to Christheclimber:

I am. Or at least I spent the morning at Wilton, not a soul to be seen at Wilton 2 or 3.

In reply to Christheclimber:

because my girlfriend just finished with me because apparantly she came second to climbing and i havn't sleep for about 3 days and can't summon the energy to walk to the train station and head to the peak

In reply to Christheclimber:

Most of my local MC are up at The Roaches, my indoor leading partner is in a band and can't do this weekend. Have put a message on one of those meet up sites in the hope someone will be keen to get outside. Otherwise I'll have to wait until Monday

In reply to Christheclimber: Working unfortunately, although on the up side I get double time and a day lieu!

In reply to Christheclimber:

Technically I was, climbing a tree while chopping it down to enjoy the sunshine! No ropes either! oooh, scary!

In reply to Christheclimber:
Bloody injuries =(

In reply to Phippsy:

Sorry to all who are injured or at work

In reply to Christheclimber:

1. I'm looking after my mum who is poorly with cancer.

2. I stopped climbing last year (again!) when the same recurring elbow injury reared its ugly but, sadly now predictable, head again. I've this bast*£d on and off now for the past 6 years!

In reply to Christheclimber:

I've been glued to the television watching the event of the century so I can say that I was there to my grandchildren. Then I watched the highlights and thought I'd see if there was any other news today, which there wasn't.

Actually, I went climbing yesterday and today has been for gardening, before getting out again for the rest of the weekend, whe nthe better looks better.

In reply to Christheclimber:I have been this morning!!

In reply to Christheclimber: you arent married are you?

In reply to colinkeb:

Why?

In reply to Christheclimber:

Gardening today and Sunday and Climbing Saturday and Monday, due to a deal with Lady Blue

In reply to Christheclimber: Cos' it's dark! Though perhaps I should be showing a little more headtorch illuminated determination, will be out tomorrow.

In reply to Christheclimber: Because I live in Kent and don't own a car, and am desperately trying to complete my PhD.

In reply to tasmat: Because I live in Southampton.

In reply to EspenK:

You have my deepest condolences.

In reply to Christheclimber:
Possibly because there is more to life, and more ways to enjoy a beautiful day, than climbing?

In reply to Only a hill:

totally agree.

(the above statement is a lie)

In reply to Christheclimber:
cos Im ill and just about managing OAP style short walks
and even if I wasnt - I may well be MTBing anyways

In reply to Only a hill:

Is that some sort of sick joke?

In reply to Only a hill:

Really?

In reply to Only a hill:

wut?

In reply to John.RH:

I don't get it either

In reply to Christheclimber: Climbing partner for today had a late night and is sleeping it off I think...and several other climbing sources have gone off to assess duke of edinburgh...not happy! Trying to motivate myself to spend the day getting my life in order but actually debating petrol costs to cannock to go razz around on my bike. It would probably be cheaper to go boulder at awesome walls but the lovely weather is putting me off being indoors!

In reply to Christheclimber: my other half gets pretty arsey if I dare to dissapear too often, otherwise I would be out every minute I could
