I've heard that Spaniards have good night vision.

Like Ramirez de Sanchez (unless of course, you cut his head off)

If you have a bike, it takes 45min to get to stanage from hunter's bar. That's what I used to do when I was a student (head torch comes in handy for winter). I now live 10mins ride from Bell Hagg, but find the 20 min ride to the works more inspiring. Sorry if this post reeks of smug self righteousness. :-[

I actually cycled to stanage the other day and it took me 2 hrs silly weak legs  :-[  (only 1/2 hour to get back though  ;D ), i was a bit disappointed by Bell Hagg its filthy. I might give cycling to the works a try, at least i wont have to take my highball lol.

You had good weather, I got soaked last time I was riding out to Stanage to climb and gave up at the Sportsman pub  :beer1:

How about this for a novel idea?

You take advantage of Sheffield's close proximity to tons and tons of real rock and go outdoors for the cost of getting to the crag  :shrug:

Where's the fun in that?

The water bottle I drank from had alcohol in it!
