We were discussing this while we were away although it was a perfect bouldering destination rather than board. Here is what we came up with...

Little monkey butlers in fez's smoking cigars, serving drinks and food!

Lots of scantly dressed females crushing hard problems!

A secret portal through a waterfall that took you into this place of wonder!

And of course thousands of perfect granite and sandstone boulders.

So for a board take the top 3 and replace boulders with the dream machine, the cragx board and throw in the Mill too! There you have it!

Here's a pic of the Mill board in its latest state - still need loads more holds, but getting there. There's also 6 finger boards out of picture, plus bench press weights and a massive campus board being built at the moment. The sofa/rest area is very palatial now (thanks to Nodder, official board caretaker), although we probably need to work on some of Monkey Boy's tempting peripheral suggestions.

Oh, and it is working - I feel like I've been trampled underfoot in the Grand National. Nodder tells me that is normal and that I'll get used to the pain...

It really does look very good. In some ways I hope to be able to sample it soon, but in other ways, I hope it's dry enough to be out on the rocks! Good job NW crew!

Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

Well I've got a skip load of weakness to expel - that'll explain why I feel so busted up!

I'm so used to mine that I regard my weakness as one of my strengths.

MMMMmmmmmmm!

noticed earlier in the thread about the Bleaustone board.

Ive got the Moon fingerboard and have always thought the crimps were punishing. Is the Bleaustone Fingerboard a better all round fingerboard than the moon board??  :-\

Apologies for bringing this back to life, best thread for my purpose you see.

Does anyone have anymore inspirational ideas for building a home wall from scratch.

Just been given some land by the in-laws thats completely ideal for whacking up a training barn so I'm starting the feasibility study now.

The north wales one looks awesome!
