The Forestry Commission has installed a couple of big concrete boulders in Swinton, Salford. They asked me to write a topo, which hopefully will enourage a few people to check them out. They have a couple of steep sides, and would make a good training option for locals.

Do you work for the FC? Any chance of a work placement in the Environmental Department next academic year near Leeds or Liverpool/Manchester?

Sorry Will, I don't work for them. They just got in touch because of the southlancsbouldering website.

Nice on r-man - whats the area like? I noticed they'd been graffiti'd already...
At the end, were you running back to grab the camera before the local main heads turned up? 
Only teasing - looks like a great idea,

Thanks for publicising that. Will have a mooch, as they say round there.

Was their today, not too bad, the left boulder is a bit easy, but the right one has some good lines on it, plenty of scope for eliminates, but the holds seem a bit too big for anything too hard. Lot's of westies about, but they seemed interested in what I was doing, and didn't give me any hassle. I also didn't think the graffiti was too bad either.
