That’s great news! Now I can go wild walking to go Wild Climbing, after spending the morning Wild Gardening and visiting the local out door market or ‘Wild Shopping’.

Good effort and I applaud your article! 😂😂

I proposed some time ago dropping the 'r' from 'trad' so we were left with 'Rad' climbing. So yoof don't you think!
