I am glad to hear of your training in Wales. Unfortunately we do not have the snow in the Philippines. So I have, as usual, used my window from the second floor as my practice place for rappelling. Of course my neighbors find it strange..but who cares about those weaklings?
I am sorry i cannot join you this year, but I will surely be inLondon in November. I am sure I will be fit for 2013!
All the best!
