That Blown away was wicked - you must have a high pain threshold for piranha, got some nice pics of us trying it and kept coming close but no cigar. Will stick some of the vids on t'interweb.

Blocheart is good enough to at least get you to the valley and get you started. once you arrive you can buy the updated Topo from the guesthouse. This has all the latest and greatest problems that have only recently been done. Fly to Milan (BGY probably best).

jim - thats the mail addy I have for them. I mailed on Monday and aint heard nowt yet. Prices are 18.50CHF for a night in the bunkhouse, which translates as £8.11p. Understand Bungle is keen but thinking about going to canada.

I have booked flights from Leeds BFD to BGY leaving monday the 26th June at lunchtime, flying home again on sat the 1st July at lunchtime again. That was £85 but its in Leeds rather than scouse land. Hope you  big gangly turds can make it. You can witness the fitness first hand then!

Just got back and it was boss as ever. Sad to hear from some yokels that some shank-monkeys have been nicking pads left in the woods by people sieging problems. Mother funglers!

they prob have been left under other probs. "I climb to feel my body" had a right go at ryan and dribble for using their pads. If you want to leave your pad in a wood then you face the consequences. If they have been nicked then it's obviously by wankers >:(

these new smilies are shit

geneva? are you tripping, its about a 300mile drive.



zurich - maybe, innsbruck - possibly if you were psyched, geneva - no way. as far as i can see no-one flies cheap to either zurich or innsbruck anyway.

i dont doubt cofe is in this instance tripping or rather taking a trip too far.  But for future reference air berlin fly cheap as chips to zurich from manc and stansted if you get them on the right day.  just seen £42 return from stansted word.

http://www.skyscanner.net/gbp/flights/uk/zrh/cheapest-flights-to-zurich-from-united_kingdom.html

and a mate i met in cham week before last had flown helvetica (what used to be swiss air) to zurich from city airport for cheaper than easyjet could to geneva.

better places?  why is called then magic wood??
better rock? again. all the hard/harder problems have excellent rock, which I agree is not thrue for easier stuff

+ its hard to find a better place for summer bouldering

but what i write before was ment to be joke, so no hard feelings

never hard feelings.

dunno,
i found the rock too aggressive, and the temps not so cool anyway. ive liked alot more annot, and font even in summer.
it prolly deals also with the fact that i had a hard time in magic wood, due to parents/work calling ten times a day for problems.
for sure ill try again, leaving the cell phone at home.
