Have got loads of pictures, I think I might have to do my own thread sometime (so I don't hijack others) which could show the development over the 16 years. Depends if anyone is interested really?[frame]Image[/frame]

that'd be a beam breaker for cutting the timing check point line thing. guessing if the over-riders were the front-most point, their irregular shape would be hard to determine where the exact front is!

Ive been doing archery on and off (on at the moment) since 1995, (7 years when I havent been shooting). Most of the time has been recurve, but I did barebow for a while as a junior and got a couple of hampshire records 8)

But I also have a '95 transit that I am putting a 2.9 V6, tidying up and converting to a camper van, a mini and a couple of other cars

My main interest now is rock climbing. It is a mixture of a mental and physical challange. I also like it because I decide what risks I take, I can decide just what I do without any rules or regulations (for example when car building there are now too many regulations and when driving too many rules such as speed limits and traffic lights)

i go rock climbing every know and then. well, bouldering to be precise. it's awesome! it's rock climbing without ropes, and a nice padded floor! you don't go very high (the place i go to is just a normal room's height) but you can go up certain routes, and when it's quiet, you can traverse sideways around the room!

i say i go every know and then. i go, then my arms ache for a week, then i put it off some more, and then i forget how much my arms ached so i go again, and then i remember how much it makes me ache!

turns out i'm quite suited to bouldering. i'm pretty light for my height, i've got reasonable upper body strength, i've got a technical, logical mind, and i'm pretty fearless, so i'll end up throwing myself at something i can't quite reach!
