Progress at the Depot
February 18, 2009, 09:26:16 pm
Hi all.

Thanks for your interest so far.

While we are getting our internet site up and running, we thought we'd post a link to photos showing progress (more will be updated every couple of days).

Any feedback welcome and if you want a tour around the building just PM me or Steve.

Cheers Oliver

Fucking hell Oli, that looks like a fine effort. Thought I recognised the name Brolly.

Hopefully no one will change the locks so you can't get in at the Depot  ;)

Good effort Oli.

Looks amazing and very big (presumably the biggest indoor bouldering venue in the UK?)- I dare say they'll be queuing round the block once the doors open!

Hi all.

Thanks to the people who have been down to visit.

A few more shots of some of the shapes we have put up over the last week.  We are getting there now, first coat of paint going on this weekend!

That looks amazing. Is it just me or are those walls pretty high? Or are you going to install 2 foot deep plush matting?

This is walking distance from my work, so cant wait!!

When are you due to open, and will the use of the cardio equipment be included in the entry fee?
 Plus, can we have some pictures please.

Looks ace... Any news on prices? membership etc?

I'm particularly excited because fingers crossed - i'm buying a house 5 mins walk away.. anybody want a room to rent?

The pub opposite the depot is quite friendly and serves decent ale.. the chinese takeaway a few buildings down (orient express) is brilliant food, went for a night out around there and was pleasantly impressed.  :beer1:
