New wiki site for Broughton Wall
January 15, 2008, 02:36:11 pm
Hello

With www.broughtonwall.co.uk falling into disrepair, there was nowhere handy to download the very latest problem sheet for Broughton.

Enter: http://www.broughtonpower.co.uk/

This redirects to a Wiki. Where you can download the very latest problem sheet thanks to Nick "Broughton" Colton, add new problems, or generally be a nice person and update the details.

Hope it's useful, enjoy.

Alex.

Thanks. I hope to get down more often - I'm always unsure when the place is actually open. :)

Not been for a decade but have fond memories. I heard that the council might be selling the place in 2009.

Me and Ken went the other night. The new woodie is excellent, get down there and put some problems up people.
There is also a new monthly pass you can buy, which I think is £25 and makes it very worthwhile if you go 2 or 3 times a week

I might be tempted to make a visit down, when's a good time to go and receive the knowledge from a friendly local?

The Temple is indeed open at the weekend but I don't know what times - try calling the centre on 0161 792 2375.

Tues can be very busy. Thurs is usually much quieter.

think wiki says but its open 9 till 3ish on both days. shuts very early on a friday. think 1:30pm.
thursdays arent too busy. mondays and wednesdays seem least busy apart from the weekends which are realy quiet.

friction was top last night as it was baltic.

Cheers

Make sure you check the forecast before you go, it suffers from seepage in very wet weather.

Just come back, it closes at 3 on sat and 3:30 on sun, don't know what time it opens, probably 10. Pretty quiet tonight, not much seepage on the 50...

Yes me too, must have missed you as I was on the 50 all night. I'll second the Temple over MCC any day. £4 as opposed to £7.50, its a no brainer.

yes I have definitely clocked you guys!

Good to see the frequent burning car wrecks outside the centre are a thing of the past...I hope!
