After a great many years, I’ve finally been passed on my Single Pitch Award – the UK NGB in sing;le pitch climbing and abseiling. Did the training about 9 years back with Sam and Ellie Read at Moor crag with Giles, this Assessment was done with Andy Brown (MIC) from http://adventures.org.uk .Only two of us on the course, and the other happened to be a headmaster of a Secondary School in East Lancs. It’s probably only a matter of time until I bump into him!
The course went well, I realised I’d not done anywhere near enough ‘revision’, so thanks to Simon Waterworth and Terminator at their place in Ambleside, I did a few extra hours of group bondage tying each other up, which enabled me to work with a lot more confidence and get through everything ok on the Sunday. Could have been touch and go, but the Gods were shining on me that day!
Good crack that weekend, with Andy ably assisted by Emma and Phil from Newton Rigg. Probably time to work out what we’re going to do for County Camp now!
