Wish NE Scotland would. Area is crying out for a dedicated bouldering facility, nearest are AR2 and TCA.

WE OPEN OUR SECOND CLIMBING WALL ON MONDAY!
Nearly forgot about it!
Congrats Matt, I got the allusion but didn't want to ask too much!
Glad to know it became reality.
Good luck!

And I only just spotted it. Big congrats Matt. Bold move, best of luck with it!

Where will it be Matt? I think I've operated the Google wrong.

Oldmanmatt · June 03, 2015, 07:07:10 pm

Thanks all!
We're taking over a council built wall in Paignton. It should complement our bouldering wall in Torquay. It's a non-profit(ish) set up for us, but good for the Bay.

It's an Entreprise wall with 18 lead lines and a reasonable selection of features. Enough to get some of our setters excited anyway.
Two years old and closed for the past year thanks to cuts.

SA Chris · June 03, 2015, 07:58:34 pm

Interestingly, exactly the opposite of what happend to Ratho.

Hope you got a good deal. We've got rotting unused leisure facilites up here that the council want a fortune for.

Been at my fighting weight of around 14.5st for over 15yrs now. Stepped on the weighing scales last night and came in at <12st. I'm 44 and havent been at this weight since my mid 20's.
Feeling well strong on the board.
And this without actively 'being on a diet'. Just really stopped eating shit ready meals in work & cut down on the cakes
woohoo
time to set a climbing goal for the summer, 7C anyone

Nibile · June 04, 2015, 02:26:22 pm

This kind of body changes, that happened gradually over a longer period, are the ones that last.
Well done.

Oldmanmatt · June 04, 2015, 02:29:20 pm

Finally the kids have reached an age where I can, without murder being done by Ms OMM-2-B; arise with the sparrows and depart for a skin shredding sesh upon the Moor.

Moor (sorry) importantly, today was my first "real" session in almost two years!

So I went straight to Saddle Tor and failed miserably to even scratch the surface of the traverse...

After admitting defeat (for today), had the most fantastic few hours on the endless "making shit up as I frickin feel like" problem over on Bone hill.

Solo Dawn raids really are what makes life worth living.

Nice. Really looking forward to this. I'm a morning person, but kids still young and need looked after whilst Mrs T_B recovers after an inevitably interrupted night. Can't wait 'till I can sneak off at sparrows' in cool temps

I've got an up and coming mixed blessing. Mrs is going to be unemployed as of 1 August which, although a bit of a burden on the finances, will mean she will be organising kids and I can occasionally get up and out at sparrow's and get a spot of climbing or surfing in before work, which I haven't managed since arrival of no 1. Morning sun on east coast is especially good, as cool of evening often means condensation and grease on rock.

Minor but I led another E2 tonight. One that I'd fallen off in the past and was somewhat wary of the rematch, so was pleased it went well. Swiftly put in my place by having to rest seconding another E2 though, but it's a great route and now on the ToDo list :D

kelvin · June 05, 2015, 07:15:30 am

Nice Mr Line.

Also Matt - hope the new wall goes well!

:-)

Nice one Matt! And Chris too.... And Señor Line..

I had partial success on Jericho Road yesterday arvo. Did the problem, but started two moves in... Wasn't expecting to do it so was just working it from standing... Then ran out of beans. Next time..

Went out yesterday night, second time in a row that the barmaid at the local pub offers me my beer.

I've blagged a space , last minute like, to Pabbay and Mingulay. I'm frantically packing whilst trying not to leap around my living room shouting "bring it on!"

SA Chris · June 05, 2015, 12:47:00 pm

Get in. Hope the weather co-operates. Take fishing gear in case.

cheque · June 05, 2015, 12:50:20 pm

Awesome! I'd be doing the same.

Congrats everyone else too.

Get in Dan, glad you're coming. Don't worry i've not started packing, I think I can just put the wardrobe into the haul bag. easy. Pack some wellies or waterproof boots and a dry bag. You'll thank me.
