Title: new to sheffiled and bouldering
Post by: cbay87 on July 15, 2007, 07:25:44 pm: hi, my name is Craig and i have only truly been bouldering for a few months on and off for the last two years in Edinburgh. I have just moved to Sheffield and would like to get in to bouldering more regular. i have put on weight and became slightly unfit, as Ive never really had to train or watch what i eat before ( was a natural skinny fit child ) this is new to me. i was wondering if there was any one in Sheffield that would be willing to help me get fit and good at bouldering.

Cheers Craig

I bet that all the :google: searches you did came up blank. Not suprising really. I hate living here. I'm thinking of moving to Lancashire
