My Shoe Collection Lens!
70. Learn to climb to level 6a
on my way!
03/03/2011 failed miserably! I did a few 4+ warm ups and then attempted to do a 5, which normally i struggle through. Couldnt struggle through with this one!! I had to attempt a move that was massively out of my comfort zone! BF was doing his best to help but i had my stubborn head on! (which is like trying to reason with an aggrivated scorpion).
Its sounds so simple now but i had to put all my weight onto my left leg which was at a right angle and all my balance which was holding onto a grip about chest height and push up to hold just above a slight over hang. there was no hold for my right foot, only wall. Basically i hesitated for too long and pumped my arms out and kept having to rest. each time getting more and more stressed with the move!
Im going on Wed and I WILL DEFEAT IT!!
10/02/2011
Well the route i wanted to defeat was changed so i didnt get to defeat it! But i did lead climb a couple 5 routes with the help of the very patient Callum! ive got some nice caluses forming on my once very soft hands :(
came away last night very tired but feeling great!!
Roll on next week!
17/02/2011
I did a 5+ !! yey! i found it reasonably easy as well.... hmmm does make me think it was an easy 5+ but a 5+ anywho!!
bring on next week!!!
24/02/2011
Another week of climbing!
Keeping on 5's really, trying to enjoy them and learning the moves. I did another 5 + last night and found it ok.
My last climb of the evening was a 5 but i was trying to lead climb it and just lost my bottle! i had a disgruntled bf at the bottom telling me off for giving up!!
Oh well! ill give it another go next week and earlier on in the evening when i have more energy!!
70. Learn to climb to level 6a
I went climbing outside!! 10/04/2011
Wye Valley. 3. Achieve body of dreams....

The ancient city of Ephesus
ok so this is not on my list but it is kinda of a wonder of the world!!!!9/05/2011
This was amazing! you have to go and see this!! the ruins are huge and stretch over like half a mile. you can really geta feel for what life was like for the people who lived here. the picture you see was a library.
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Temple of Artemis
ok so it doesnt look like the picture now but their is still one pillar remaining. heres some more info!The Temple of Artemis (Greek: %u1F08%u03C1%u03C4%u03B5%u03BC%u03AF%u03C3%u03B9%u03BF%u03BD, or Artemision/), also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to a goddess Greeks identified as Artemis and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was sited at Ephesus (the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey), and was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401 by St John Chrysostom, archbishop of Ephesus, who incited a mob of Christians to completely destroy the temple.[1] Only foundations and sculptural fragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain.
The first sanctuary (temenos) antedated the Ionic immigration by many years, and dates to the Bronze Age. Callimachus, in his Hymn to Artemis, attributed it to the Amazons. In the seventh century the old temple was destroyed by a flood. Its reconstruction began around 550 BC, under the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes, at the expense of Croesus of Lydia: the project took some 120 years to complete, only to be destroyed in an act of arson by the infamous Herostratus. It was later rebuilt.
7. Climb a mountain
Beacon Hill
OK!! so its a hill!! but its a steep one and takes roughly 20mins power walking to get up!Ive done beacon hill a few times now. It was originlly a punishment from my boyfriend for talking through one of his programmes :)
This is all good practice for climbing a mountain!
Scuba Diving (32)
32. try deep sea diving. DONE 9/10/2011
Try dive!so my boyfriend loves scuba diving and so that we can go on a holiday together i have decided to give it a go and do my PADI course.
I had a try dive on the 14th July and LOVED IT!!!!
It was in an outdoor pool and a local dive club came along with all their equipment and let you have a 20 mins swing to get used to the idea of breathing under water.
If you are not sure whether scuba is for you, you should definitely have a try dive! often they are free!
9/10/2011 -
DONE! relief!! I went to Dahab in Egypt and had a dive in the blue hole! Amazing! Would definitley recommend dahab for new divers as its very friendly waters. resonably warm, nice entry points and fantastic scenery!
If you click on the picture it should take you to the trip advisor website with the reviews of the blue hole.
80. Spend a day in london and see some attractions!
