Now a Fat Old Fart. I suffer badly from depression and have feeling of suicided, especially after losing my job in 2020. There are times when I don't leave the house for three to four days at a time, if someone I don't know is walking past I go back in or not go outside the door at all. I have lost interest in everything I use to do, including climbing, walking, Golf, photography etc. According to the "millennial snowflakes", I don't belong in this world anymore.

Location

Best Climbing Experience
Cardinals Crack 20m VS 4b, Latecomer 16m VS 4b in Yarncliff Quarry and an excellent reverse swallow dive off of Three Pebble Slab.

About My Photography
I drive a Canon 50D & 20D with a 17-85mm & 70-300mm lenses, both are IS. I enjoy night time photography and tried to do some climbing stuff but still early days. Have a look at my Flickr page:-

Recently I have sold a framed print of Tryfan so I guess I can be deemed as a professorial Photographer Ha Ha!

Anything Else We Should Know
Started climbing and hill walking in the early Seventies with Dad, been doing it on and off ever since. I use to spend a fair bit of time at the Pinnacle Climbing Center in Northampton on the bouldering wall but too fat for that now.
