Thought I'd just say I'm hoping this is going to be my best year.

Called my dr about an excercise referral and as I have type 1, have tried to loose weight but need a little help. My lovely dr said she would do the referral

Means as I work 9-5 min -fri when I want to go swimming it's only clubs at most of my pools when I want to go. This way I can use the gym pay per session and it's 1/2 the normal price.

Just what I want seeing as I'm wanting to get ready for my. Absail down Avon Gorge in June. As I work for a charity run nursing home for dimentia I'm raising money for them.

I can't wait to do it as I haven't pushed my body since being diagnosed. It's going to be awesome.
 
Matt good luck I hope it makes you feel on top of the world or bottom in case of an abseil x all power to you for being so positive
 
Good luck Matt! Let us know how you get on 🙂 Abseiling is not at the top of my list - scared of heights! 😱 Brave man!
 
Sounds great :D I've only ever launched off a climbing wall, I'd love to do it properly (it's on the list). It does the soul good to do something fun and exciting. I hope you get someone to take some pics. The exercise referral sounds like a great idea. There's a shortage of public pools in these parts too, and gym membership is so expensive (and inaccessible if you don't drive), hope you enjoy the swimming 🙂
 
Good Luck Matt I did abseiling at a local country park but nothing close to what your doing, I was going to take part in one this year with my OH that his dad did last year but we haven't heard anything about it, let us know how it goes 🙂 x
 
All the best Matt with the absail.
Fair play to you man .

I agree the membership is expensive so now I got my referral will make it cheaper. All I did was ring my gp and signed a form.
