Yep, an excellent day. I now ache in places I didn't know could ache!!
As always lots of good hints and tips from Simon & Pete but I think the top tip of the day is, as Pete says above, "Don't leave it so long!!!" First trip out this year and it certainly showed, whilst I could still remember the basic principals I had lost the ability (what little I had) to move myself or pull the appropriate bit of rope INSTINCTIVELY - lots more ground practise i think!
Good to meet Tim and Gary, and finished off with a pint sat outside the local on a gorgeous sunny day, what more could you ask for (except less gusty wind!!), see you next week.
