any progress here? last time i was there they'd deconstructed those little rooms and there was some poor sole whittling some wood.

Every time I go down there I think there'll be some progress. You'll be pleased to know all the wood has been whittled, some has been moved and said whittler has been promoted to hoover-er. I was told October but I'd not expect much this side of Christmas at this rate.

I was also told Johnny Brown of this parish is doing the constructing (or had a least been over to have a look/quote so he might be the chap to ask).

Was that last friday? I was there then and some poor soul was sat chopping bits of wood in two with a saw - on the floor. Reminded me of someone breaking stones in a labour camp...

You mean andy, not adam

By god, can you imagine a climbing wall constructed by Adam Long? it would be like the plantation, only slippier

They're into critical theory? It'd be better to employ some builders IMHO

I was told Adam but after a quick google, it turns out I do indeed mean Andy.

I'm sure you probably all know this but there is a 45 degree board at Broughton. It may not be perfect but the wall is pretty much self regulated so if anyone wanted to make improvements to it I doubt there'd be anything to stop them.

I'm not sure if I was being prophetic when I wrote the above or just unobservant as I hadn't noticed until today that some changes have already been made. Either way the 45 degree woodie has had all the large holds replaced by smaller ones, some little foot holds have been added. In additon there are now proper rungs on the campus board. Its now a proper hard core trainging venue, albeit one that is too hard core for me.

I know a guy who works there and the final plans were in place for the wall and construction began yesterday. From what i gathered there is going to be:

A stepped roof area,
Concave & convex walls - I don't think they're sure of the angles yet,
45 degree woodie.

45 degree woodie.

I'm sure the technical term is a semi 

sorry couldn't help it, my touch-typing has a mind of it's own.

[Wipey Why]

The structures went up a few days ago and they look monstrous! I can't wait for them to get completed.

I just hope they don't put problems on it. Would be much better as a big training board with stamina circuits on it.

[JohnM]

I hope they don't put stamina circuits on it.  It is big but could probably only accomodate two sweaty, flailing people going round a circuit at one time while others wait to have their go to battle the grease.  Who want stamina at this time of year anyway!?  I hope they cover it small holds and pinches! 

[chicane]

has no one taken any pics? The suspense is killing me...

[Wipey Why]

There you go

[Adam Lincoln]

There you go

  Cool!

[chicane]

Thanks it's looking good!

[dobbin]

That new bit of Logport looks really good. The holds were very dirty on the pre existing bit this saturday, but I understand they were due a reset so is probably all sorted now. And, it was hotter than the sun. I stank by the time I left.

Rumour was that painting (shame) and setting will have begun on monday.

Has the matting all been done?

[dobbin]

No. There was foam ready to be covered off to the side though, so it looks to have arrived. Dont know if you would paint it above mats anyway would you?

[galpinos]

  Good point. Apparently, the word on the street is it'll be half fixed holds/training board and half problems. Can't wait.

Went there on Monday whilst new probs were being set (didnt see the sign it was closed - doh!) and had a chat with the guys on the desk about it.
Apparently its waiting for some new types of Tnut to come in before it can be finished (they're front rather than rear mounted -? -?) and it may be a week or so before they are delivered... then mats.. painting etc..

[Wipey Why]

Was there last night. Painting has started, designs and colours appear to have been inspired by Sesame Street. Been told T-nuts need to be installed on the curved sections.

[namnok]

There you go

mint

are they gonna mat the whole area? hate to swing out from the top, fall onto the walkway and crush a 5 year old having the best time of his/her life at his/her birthday party who was just having a wandering gawp abt unsupervised

[dobbin]

Dont worry about the 5 yr old, if you did that you'd break yer legs a la Bennett corner!

[Wipey Why]

I have been told it is going to be matted up to the wooden box.

If they run underneath you as you are falling off there isn't much you can do.
