Thanks for the sympathy vote Dave   :lol:

Still only a couple weeks to go, then off to Oz and no indoor shit ever again.  :8)

I loved Vancouver - the laid back people, the BC weed, the North Shore mountain biking and Whistler about an hours drive away. Hard to beat.

Cheers! Its a bit of aggro, but I was lucky 'cos the missus is an Aussie so getting the Visa was ok.

I loved it in Sydney, was one of the few places that after a few days there I thought 'Yeah, I could live here'. And what with the shit loads of bouldering - A nice change from London.

I'll still be on here, but there'll be no-one around 'cos of the time difference  :cry:

Anyway, anyone coming out there please look me up- I'll be a stranger in a strange land.............

thats probably gonna be where i end up - Grace can transfer there with Cathay (if we go to the UK or Oz i've no idea what she'd do to bring in the bucks - plus she thinks Oz is full of red-necks, quite probably true...) and in civil engineering i should be able to turn up a job without too much problem

it does look top notch - although friends (from there) say the weathers a bit British.........

I think they get better summers, but worse winters - I could live with that just for the boarding. 1/2 hour out of town and you're in miles and miles of backcountry - not like our over-crowded island one bit....

 Yeah Aaron is a good chap, he's over in the US at the mo but is a good Sydney bouldering contact anyway and will be back in Oz next year I think.

Dense and Jim were indoors training at BoulderUK last week when it was nice and sunny outside.   ;)  In fact quite a few people have been putting the hours in when it's been sunny trying to get fit for trips to america and the like...

 I think an upgrade to a full folk-moses is more on the cards.

 I'm just making up for all the times I have to watch the footwork brigade do laps of West Side Story seven different ways whilst I fail miserably to do it at all :roll: .

Wento the kentmere boulders - little font etc  Hmmm, not sure!  Beautiful place but the rock was a bit iffy.  Also Trowborrow, and got off the floor there for the first time ever!

Aye, what a pile of shite Little Font is, to be sure. Did you do Karma of Trees? Now there's another confusing problem.
