It really depends, 45 minutes is too far if your kids don't go to bed until 8:00 and the wall closes at 10:00.

Fair enough, with nippers it might be a pain but 45 mins isnt a big drive if you dont have other things to do.

45  minuets is a hell of a drive when i don't have a car, and busses don't run there. thats why the finger board though the weather is picking up at last and not so much rain, so more outdoor sessions for me i think.

Bikes are quicker

[haydn jones]

trust me its too far to cycle, i've cycled a few times to the dewerstone, and that took me 1 1/2 hours the barn is about 3 times further

[Krank]

you would be amazed what can happen when you cycle to the crag

....no hay límite a la trituración se puede lograr

Haydn, if I were you I'd keep on, but keep a close watch on those possible tweaks... just keep thinking about how to get on rock. Which might involve joining the local club.... just to get the lift of course 

[haydn jones]

honestly don't think i can climb any more than is possible, i get to the climbing gym 1-2 times per week, i have joined plymouth uni climbing club, i go bouldering 1-2 a week and usually go trad climbing once a week, the training board is really there for those wet days.

So what's with all the bollocks about it being too far for you to drive to the wall, etcetera?

[haydn jones]

Its more I have to rely on other people to drive and I've been extremly lucky so faqr to be able to get out as much as I have.

[underground]

Well you either can or you can't get to the crag, PaulB's advice is still sound.

[tunaficiency]

a drive where you could play 45 minuets back to back, say 5 mins each 45 * 5 equals
close to a 4 hour drive, i'd say thats quite long.

I think haydn jones has been unduly taken to task here.

1/2 times a week to an indoor wall which is a 1.5hr round trip away and a day outside and the rest home training seems a not unreasonable dedication to the cause - it is probably what I would do in his shoes.

I think that my contribution was a bit uncalled for certainly, and arose due to being a bit confused, but I'd have never responded in that way face to face.

Sorry, folks- especially Haydn jones.
