damn.
Still, is it costing you a lot for where the board is? Units in sheffield seem to be £3000-4000 a yr plus service charges.

Just moved from sheffield to arnside in a second. Obviously still no luck finding a board then Paul.

The 2 board sections closest are going to gain a top panel, slightly overhanging. Behind where the picture is taken is room for campus boards and there is another board but we need to makes some holds as we are running out, but we are getting some systems holds soon.

Yeah, I was wondering about solving that. I was thinking about digging it out and filling it with water.

You'd think someone would come with a mat or pad that reduces the impact of a fall...oh well just have to struggle on for now.

A deathmat 2000 could be just the thing (obscure but look in very old copies of 'SIGH' magazine).

.......but by the look of the lack of chalk on those holds maybe just leave it unmatted eh?
