Cheers Graeme. I will be living in the north, but not til September (Fair Head, booyah!). Will see about getting the funds together, and recruiting such a person.

I've got one of the Mondo pads which is excellent but WAY too big to take on a plane. 

and it's also bright pink  :)

We've reduced the price of the pads for the summer.
They're now down to £250. Details are on the blog in my sig and you can still get them from The Climbing Works or their website.

Here let me google that for you  :P

Common sense would say that folded (presumably in half, you'd be hard pushed to get it into quarters!) you half one of the dimensions and double the depth.

my question about size may seem a little obvious but having measured my car boot wanted to make sure it wasn't some funny folding thingy ma jiggy that caught me out having just spent 250 of my hard earned cash. you could do the same for some metolious matts and come unstuck.  :shrug:

was going to buy one of these for taking on planes but when I last looked into it they are still quite large when deflated but the biggest problem is the weight.
Still don't know why you would need a bouldering pad on a plane for but it seems all the rage so I'll keep trying

Do people not know about "Sports Luggage"? Get 4 Dropzone sized pads, tape them together, and book it in as one piece! Not too expensive either.

the problem is when the sports luggage is twice the price of the flight

An air pad may keep you afloat after the ditch in the ocean.  Presuming anyone survives the crash.  :shrug:

You could always pop down the Works and try before you buy. £5 a day with the hire charge refunded if you buy within a month. Fitting in boot service is free
