Out with some friends Friday evening
And then Tayyab's next weekend! Also going to Scotland with a few friends in June for adventure-type stuff (canyoning and bungee jumping).

That sounds good fun
I'm debating whether a weekend break if I can rustle up the money might make me feel better

I'm thinking of going to boot camp in Cumbria.

Army?

Too much shoe talk in this thread!

Nope! Just run of the mill training types.
Lots of exercise and veggie food.

That looks pretty good
bit out of my price-range though

I need to lose a stone and then I will suddenly become irresistable.
I figure it will get me out of my comfort zone a bit.
( girlinthehole, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:28, Reply)

It'd get my bank balance out of the comfort zone
I need to lose a stone, but I'm going to achieve this by portion control, cycling and sit-ups/press-ups/chin-ups.

That looks a bit extreme to me Blousie.
For the money they are charging, why not go to India and do the dysentery diet?

Take up rock climbing
You'll become as skinny as Olive Oyl, have fabulous lean muscles and as many men as you can throw a carabiner at.

*note to self - must get back to climbing for Olive Oyl part.

Hopefully they'll do it on the course.
Then I can give it a go.
( girlinthehole, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:41, Reply)

Do.
Watching good (male) climbers in the summer when they've removed their t-shirts is a truly wonderful experience. Smooth graceful muscular movements...and seeing all the muscle definition in their back.

I'm being serious here
Don't you find your tits get in the way?
(that's why I stopped. Also, because I wasn't that good.)
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:42, Reply)

Only if you're hugging the rock
and if you're doing that it makes your arms tire too quickly. All the power should come from your legs and you should try to have your body away from the rock face as much as you can - that way you can also keep an eye on your feet.
Also with more climbing your tits tend to get smaller but firmer - less fat, more muscle - without turning into Arnie.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:46, Reply)

Woo!
Small, firmer tits ftw!

I was supposed to be starting climbing last weekend
But the flu caused my mates to bail. I'm busy most weekends from now until March, but really want to get into it.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:49, Reply)

It's a brilliant thing to do - I used to climb about three times a week
It keeps you amazingly fit, you can eat like a horse and even more importantly when you're actually climbing you can't think about anything else except the moves and how you're going to reach the top - that mental space is so rare.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:54, Reply)

I might look into doing it just by myself then
Think the closest place is Warwick Uni.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:57, Reply)

If you're starting on your own then try bouldering
It's low level, requires no ropes or harnesses, just some climbing shoes, some chalk and a mat. Also take a look at www.ukclimbing.com/news/ they have lists of the good climbing walls - universities often don't keep theirs up to scratch.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:00, Reply)

Found the one at warwick uni
It doesn't look too bad, certainly better than anything else in my area.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:14, Reply)

Give it a go - even if it's not up to much you'll probably find out where there are other walls in the area
from the people climbing there.

My dad used to climb a huge amount
so I've always wanted to do it. How important is it to be a) flexible and b) have feeling in your feet- is that absolutely essential?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:58, Reply)

Flexibility comes with more climbing
Women tend to be far, far more flexible than men. Feeling in your feet is helpful but most climbers after a few years have numb spots - I've not felt anything in most of my right big toe for a couple of years...Mind you, I've not climbed in about a year :(
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:04, Reply)

Well I'm definitely giving it a shot
novice lessons start at Oxford Brookes so I've given them an email
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:06, Reply)

Brilliant!
It's a fabulous way to get fit and find casual sexual partners new friends.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:32, Reply)

I don't mess around
when I decide to do something. Signed up for lessons and joined the Oxford society.

haha my dad did want to once
sadly my mother did not like rock/mountain climbing
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:38, Reply)

Flexible?
I wanted to join a climbing club and the bloke running it said, 'How flexible are you?'

I said, 'I can't make Tuesdays'
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:15, Reply)

That's absolutely terrible

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:18, Reply)

Oh yes, I know all about the not pulling with your arms.
I quite want to do Via Ferrata again. It's a lot of fun.

Imagine what they'd be like if she didn't climb....
Tits do sometimes get in the way, there's no denying it. But they also enable you to get plenty of climbing partners.

You're coming on a weekend break, aren't you?
To London, to Tayyabs. I thought I might give Spitalfields a wander round on Sunday if you'd like to join, too?
(berk, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 15:15, Reply)

Definitely coming to Tayaabs yes
and having a lookaround sounds good.

If I have the money I might just go hide out in Scotland or in the West Country for a little bit
