The Climbing Wall
The Pembrokeshire Wellbeing Podcast
I met up with Liz Collyer at the climbing wall in Haverfordwest Leisure Centre. In the last podcast I talked about climbing over a zoom call from my comfortable chair at home ... this time Liz had me harnassed up and climbing the wall while we conducted the interview ... I do get a little breathless at times, but that was down to nerves at the start and exhilaration at the end.
