How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: Went to class once or twice a week. I could potentially have done this in 2 months, but this was the first grading since December we had done.Going to class regularly is the biggest help, any other practice you do is a bonus!There is a Taekwondo handbook for colour belts - it tells you exactly what you need to know.

At times (just now, for example) I had as many as 16 cheers available to dish out.I started cheering people who cheered me, also people with mutual goals, and the people (18 now!) I'm subscribed to. If I ran out of people to cheer had a look at the zeitgeist for any wort… Read how I did it…

Originally went to tackle these 7 weeks ago (see Carn Gorm, Munro no. 32), had to turn back in the snow and icy conditions tho. Today was a totally different ballgame, great weather was in my T-Shirt for most of the day. Photo is myself at summit of Carn Mairg.
