After doing Crescent last year, my knees were bleeding so much it stained my trousers, but now I wear heavy duty knee pads from Wickes under my oversuit, and Inglesport kneepads over my oversuit, and my knees felt completely fine on Saturday.

I’ve been in Broken Spring Pot. I thought I was with Sharman, but maybe not.

An excellent trip.

It wasn’t a rubbish day; it was a good day with minor rubbish moments.

P.S.
I should perhaps point out that there were two other people behind her at the foot of the Bar Pot entrance pitch, we really did try our very best to convince her to come with us (but she was stubborn as a mule) and before leaving we went and told several people in the BPC tent that there was someone struggling in Bar Pot.

I’ve always fancied the Large Pot NFTFH trip to the Temple of Doom. I don’t imagine you’ll ever want to do that now.
