As your make-shift PA, you have a lot of appointments! This visit needs some timetabling...

You have 2 days Nibz.  Use it wisely.   The Cave is not a wise decision.  Not at all.

All this fannying about is all well and good, but remember that it's only England for a couple of days. Think of it as the warm up, the starter, the soup course before the real meat that is Font. I will be waiting for you at the station Lore. Don't bring excuses, torn tips, or sore muscles as I have no room in the car for such things.  ;)

He's a poseur Nibz as you know.  But he speaketh the truth!  Boyo!  Fuck the Cave - experience the best Blighty has to offer.  Dude - I've lived in Wales 12 years.  If you travel to Wales just for the Cave I'll never forgive you . . .  there is so much more!

No Scotland visit. Disappointed Nibile, would have sorted out a longboard for you.

Hope the weather is kind to you.

sadly, just two days, but a comeback is already on the plan.
there are such things going on here right now as i type, that i really can't plan anything far.

anyway, as usual i will decline every responsibility about my stay in uk, as far as climbing goes. i just put myself into monolith arms (so to speak) and let him decide for me. i just want him to take somewhere, point me at something and yell "go kill." then i will rush.

I imagine you'll be eating a lunch purchased from a filling station, doing no warm up and then repeatedly trying a really contrived but desperate sequence on a dodgy bit of limestone then - justifying it as "training for the board".  Sorry Monolith but that's how it is mate. ;)  :kiss1:

Nice try mate, but you know that if I was to turn up (and I wish I could), you'd be burnt off the face of the planet.  You'd probably hang up your boots and take up powerballing full time.  Oh, you have...

houdini, i have just drank three negronis (with bombay), and while cycling home trying not to be killed by traffic, i realized this is the greates appreciation of my climbing i ever received, and although it's probably justified just by your good sould, i really thank you for that. really.

The image of you weaving in and out of traffic, pissed, on your bike is an amusing one (barring the potential harm of course).

You'll have to check some timetables, Nibs.  Getting anywhere when you arrive late tends to be a biatch.

Buses are always cheaper than the trains.

Buses are chearper than trains but if you have a lot of kit trains are better (and you can get some good deals sometimes too, especially london-manchester which is what you'll probably have to do)
