Really good effort.  He was trying this in 2002 when I first visited Ceuse.  I don't know how much he's tried it since but it must have been in the back of his mind for a long time.  It can't be often he leaves a crag without his intended route bagged up.  Especially one of such significance.

I guess the stress of doing Realization has made Mr Graham take up a different hobby. Imagine my shock at seeing this poster in a local pub window...

Busy guy that Dave fella.  For years he was resident at Club 051 in Liverpool, releasing many tacky mixed cd's of dodgy scouse house with semi-clad women draped over the covers.

Actually that poster is rather classy find Golt.  Having studied it a little closer than I did earlier, I've fallen in love with the idea that these guys are bringing music as played at Gatecrashers (sic) and Ministry to Workington.  Along with live premiership football on the biggest screens in Workington.  Oh yeah and with lots of drink            promotions.

Brilliant.

If I was a wealthy man, I'd waste my time building huge dance arenas in non-typical locations such as Workington, Street, Tadcaster and Rannoch. Thanks for the inspiration Ben.

Oh yeah, Dave Graham sends Realization yadayadayada  :yawn:

When I have finished my next degree and am a qualified architect who designs yet more blocks of empty "executive" flats all over Liverpool, I'll waste my time building huge dance arenas in non-typical locations such as Workington, Street, Tadcaster and Rannoch. Thanks for yet more life changing inspiration Ben.

No problem.

You mean making inspirational public buildings?

Well done for putting out more off topic bait that you know I'll take ::)
