I'll be in Stoke / Keele University for a meeting until 3pm on the 9th. Very keen to get out onto real rock afterwards. Trad. lime would be ideal but anything is better than plastic.
I could drive from London but I would much prefer to take the train up to Stoke, hence this rather premature request for someone with transport. I'm very much in rehab. / punter mode at present - see any powerclub from the last 6 months - but have reliable belaying and jetboil skills.
