Evening walk with the boys, found a ruined castle! Sign on gate identified it as Pendragon Castle.

Ruins are somehow always great

 

[TomP30]

I know, they fill me with fascination, doesn’t matter if it’s a castle or an old mill. My youngest got a metal detector for his birthday, can’t wait to get it in the fields!

 

[blutsj]

Mine also enjoyed the metal detector

NTS:

STOP trying to do a bloody sit-up with the kettlebell when doing TGU (left)! Points to remember and focus on for next session: 1. Drive more with the leg, drive the heel into the ground. 2. Engage lats, drive through almost as if going under the kettlebell, keeping shoulder packed and chest pushed out, at the same time roll to the right, driving right elbow into the mat.
