Put this together for our karate club today, the clips are from not just our club but form our extended family. I'm the one falling into the garden chairs... Don't know how to post videos on here, so it's a facebook link but it is a public video so should be...

Thanks Paul

which fire pit did you go for in the end Paul? we're looking at getting one whilst in lockdown, and I couldn't work out from the post above which one it was

Thanks not seen that before - it's interesting to look at the different styles and almost work backwards to the route of the kata, as well as how it may be applied differently with the differences in techniques.

this is pretty much our seisan kata except for some reason we do the last push down in tension.

Yep I do kata, slowly with "perfect" technique and real attention to detail, as well as a full speed, as well as completely relaxed just to run through the moves. All good in their own way and all add to the experience. I also look at quite a lot of Ian Abernethy's bunkai breakdowns and...

Seisan is nice, my main ones at the moment are tensho - good for relaxation - naihanchi - can do it in very limited space and I'm slowly going through bassai and niseish as they're the new ones on my syllabus. I run through them all everyday from pinina nidan all the way through then concentrate...

thanks I'd seen that about the bracelets so got a PU one, especially as it'll being getting wet. I think it might have been a post from yourself a while ago that first got me onto them, but after lots of looking around finally decided to go for one.

not that bushcrafty but to be used when i'm out in the outdoors i gt myself a vostok amphibia watch - just have to see how long it takes to come from russia now https://vostokwatches.ru/image/cache/data/vostok-watches-Amphibian-Classic/420634-480x480.webp

https://interactive.planningportal.co.uk/ this is a nice quick and easy interactive guide to permitted builds in the UK I found it useful when designing our extension. Rich

quite a few of my frends wear them for apres and wearing around resort and get on great with them.

i had some of the forclaz trousers with the reinforced seat, last summer, sat down on the way up to a refuge, the rock must have been slightly sharper than I though ripped a hole in the bottom and had to walk round with my undies on show for 2 days. so I wasnt that impressed with the durability...

And looking down into red pike tarn and buttermere lake

This is vignemale

Mine in the UK would be red like above buttermere in the lakes, especially when it’s winter and the tarn has frozen, if you skim stones across it the ice reverberates and you get an echo from the natural rock amphitheater. Further away would be vignemale in the French Pyrenees, a proper north...

Much as I love the welsh hills and the lakes, in all honesty they don’t compare to the experience in the alps or Pyrenees (just my opinion) Big mountains have a different feel, size and exposure. Being on glaciers as well as larger faces is for me a completely different experience. I was never...

The nepalase don’t check experience or ability before issuing a permit. Why should they to be fair? Not their role or their job. If you’re not able to independently climb an 8000mer then surely Everest with its infrastructure and Sherpas makes most sense. Also if you’re going to spend daddy’s...

Easier way would be to ban supplemental oxygen, that'd knock the numbers right down.

Everest has been a circus for a while now. I know the ridiculous queue is being blamed for these deaths, but there is always a baseline of deaths on Everest just due to the altitude, so when there’s 200 summiting in a day the odds are there will be deaths. There’s a couple of main problems...

I’m leaving it proud
