Tomorrow on Channel 4, 9 pm, Free Solo. Absolutely incredible. Greatest sporting achievement I’ve seen.
It's a fabulous film (which I have seen 3 times it's that good!)
If you like that kind of thing, I would heartily recommend 'The Dawn Wall' which features Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold's climbing partner for his free solo recces. He is perhaps the greatest free climber we have ever seen and has an amazing back story (including the loss of a finger.)

Cheers Pete. Started watching it today. Excellent stuff indeed.
Pitch 15 gets me every time. Totally unreal as is the downclimb and/or dyno that follow.

Going downhill fast
Just watched Pointless whilst having my tea and the winners were a Keith and Georgie who scooped £4,000. I am certain that I reconise Keith as being a fell runner as I have seen him at races.
I bet he treats himself to a new pair of shoes!
Well Done.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
He could probably afford some of those new fangled graphene jobs now
Only a little one.
7k around Göcek harbour.
Was supposed to be a mountain bike but it turned in to a fixie as there were no gear change cables 😂😎
Hopefully this might kick start biking again 👍
Was your "little one" on Turkish TV Stagger?

Watched the BBC programme with Ben Fogle last night about the preservation of Scott’s hut in the Antarctic, really interesting and amazing to see but... I do wonder whether it worth all the cost and effort as it’s unlikely that many folk will ever see it, perhaps it would have been better to photograph it, record it and then let it slip into the antarctic ice for perpetuity
