Better them than me! by jamibann

Better them than me!

My sciatica was getting me down big time yesterday. The best I can do at these moments is go for a walk - it helps my leg and definitely helps my morale. Hubby was working away in the garden, so I went off on my own. I nearly didn't bother with the camera, such was my mood, but a timely reminder from hubby made me go back into the house and get it. I'm glad I did, because without it I wouldn't have been able to capture these two brave fellows climbing up the rocks at the Pass of Ballater. I watched the guy in red for ages before I realised that there was also a guy in blue above him.
wow!

Good grief.. that looks scary. The guy in red looks in a bit of a predicament.. glad he wore red just for your shot..

Goodness me, brave chaps! Hubby's godson is a rock climber. Amazes me every time I think about it.
Sorry about your sciatica. Have suffered from it myself before, so I truly feel for you. Mine was caused by a disc issue but have also had it from piriformis syndrome. Physio helped me. Horrid thing, I hope it settles down again soon.

This is an incredible image. I hope the walk helped with your aches. Fav

OMG not for me! Hope you get some relief from you sciatica soon! I know how it can drag your mood down. Big hug xx

Glad you took your camera! I didn't see the second one at first too. Great capture - and good entertainment for you to capture! Hope you're feeling better soon

Crikey, rather them than me.

Hope the sciatica has eased today. I have problems with my neck and the last couple of days have been so chilly here and that has given me problems with my neck. I think we both need oiling.

It was nice of them to wear bright colored shirts.
July 15th, 2020  
yikes... perfect that he was wearing a red shirt
July 15th, 2020  
Wow, they can keep that sport all to themselves. I hope your sciatica is improving.
July 15th, 2020  
Wow crazy business going on there..........great shot!
July 15th, 2020  
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
July 15th, 2020  
noppity nope, not for me.

I didn't see the guy in blue until you mentioned 2 people in your comment. Well spotted.
July 15th, 2020  
Well they are roped so it's not that dangerous but the strength and stamina needed is something else.
July 15th, 2020  
That’s some climb, must admit saw the guy in blue first, still can’t fathom why????

Not for me... I hope your sciatica is improving.

I have no idea how anyone could get the slightest bit of pleasure from climbing up there. Good job we aren’t all alike!
Do hope your sciatica is feeling better today but it’s a long haul with that sometimes!
July 15th, 2020  
Cool shot.
July 15th, 2020  
Sorry to hear you have sciatica :-( hope you feel better soon
July 15th, 2020  
This is definitely NOT an activity for the faint of heart or those who are afraid of heights like me! But it sure makes for an awesome shot! I hope your walk helped to relieve the sciatica. Anyone who has something like that can sympathize! But I'm inspired by your determination to get through it.
July 15th, 2020  
Nice shot
July 16th, 2020  
Could the sciatica be from your cycling on Sunday? Hope it's better soon. Great shot of these climbers, not for me I hate heights!
July 16th, 2020  
Sorry to hear your sciatica is still playing up 😞 I’m painfree sine a week 💪hope that happens for you too and very soon !

@jb030958 You know what, I've been wondering that myself. It may well have been the trigger to this flare up. I cycled two days running, which I haven't done in ages. It seemed ok at the time, but it is possible that there's a link. So, I'll forget the wheels for a while and stick to using my legs to get me about.

@momamo Geez. Fingers crossed! Happy that you're feeling good though! xx

@happypat It's a very long haul, this has been going on for months now ... but walking is still a tonic, and something I can do with no side effects. I must remain positive and get myself out walking as much as possible - even if I can't be bothered, it always helps me. So, I go out, rain or shine, alone or accompanied, but always with camera!
