Have a spare saturday morning and need an excuse to avoid being dragged round the shops, where's good for a quick hit? Minus the wheels so it'll be the indoor thing
the new spot in the bennets church looks alright...?

Yes you do, you just don't know they've been.
Currently the routes bit is lots better than the bouldering. This is will hopefully be changed when the new boards open upstairs but that's not for a few weeks.

Cheers, I'll take a look and see what what, only other one on google is a uni wall (?)
shame the boulder bit's not open, maybe risk one of those auto belay wotsits if they've got em
unless anyone local is going to tell me there's an awesome boulder gym in the centre!?

the only manc training venue is made of concrete, not plastic.

clm is partially correct, the concrete one being at broughton, which is good. The other is made of wood and resides in my garage.
Dunne's place is ok, the routes look good but the bouldering wasn't up to much, hopefully will improve when new wall goes up.
However the weather is s'posed to be alright tomorrow so you'd be better off going to hobson moor, the place dreams are made

The web site for the new wall in Mcr says that the new bouldering wall is open, is it not?

looks a bit toss to me. unless there is a campus board then I can't see myself going again. Broughton is better for bouldering for many reasons:
Campus board
decent woodie
freestanding boulder with plastic problems on
cheaper
bendcrete wall
variety

The church spot was ok for a quick session, probably being dim but didn't get upstairs.
The section downstairs is pretty small, and a long way from dedicated places like mile end and the beacon, but the setter is on the money, and I reckon it's good for what it is.
Although not as good as a saturday night round manc, tidied the place up a bit eh!

Started off near the printworks, then ambled along a bit to a spot with barmaids falling off tables (ouch), witnessed some unlucky sod get a shoeing, then a bit vague after that. Bit of a lack of knowledge on good tune venues but alright for a change of scene.
Yeah read your post about the concrete place, with a woody and campus board after I was back, doh. That would have been good, but then again the thought of concrete brings back nasty memories!
