12th level 3 ticked today. 13 including the Level 3 I had to do as part of my assessor appointment. U remember every single assessment - I've had some grand rope access legends assess me over the last 30 years. Mark Wright assesed me outdoors whilst it was snowing, Mick Smith when it was 35 degrees c in a tin shed in Brisbane.Both are now busy in retirement. Nick Gale made me tick every single box though Im not going to argue with an international judo champ, and he's still showing the young'uns how it's done. Dave Somers is sadly no loner with us, and that was the assessment day with the most laughs
So, another 3 years and at my next assessment Ill be in my sixties. Catching Alan FoΕest, and still some way behind Sandy Allen :-)
