Binn Green?

Might be free and willing to make the jaunt down.
Although if I am free I will have junior in tow and will have to leave by 4 at the latest, what time you planning on?

And once again, Binn Green?

might be change of plan, might go to brownstones instead purely for walk in/out times as on tight time scale unless you know any other good areas with quick walk in/out time about half hour drive from east manchester.
binn green is a small boulder in the binn green car park up the main road from wimberry that we developed a few years ago

Only place I could suggest is the Buckstones/Nont sarahs roof problems. Walkin of about 10 seconds, but only the roof problems there.
Pig in a Pokey 7a+
Okey Dokey 7b
Okey Pokey (link up Okey dokey into Pig in a pokey) 7b+
Pig in a Dokey (currently unclimbed potential link of Pig in a pokey into Okey Dokey) 7c?

Or Brownstones

Or any other suggestions?

Ha ha ha ha ha
Nik hates Brownstones.  :lol:

But if you go to Brownstones, let me know.  I may be able to get there briefly later afternoon.  Although I'll need to bring some excuses as my skin is fucked (subtly sneaked No 1 in there....)

where is this Binn Green Boulder that you talk of?  ??? I've never seen it on my walk into Wimberry fro Grim Bean, but alas this could well be due to the blinkers...

topo / lines...?

don't get too excited. Its further up the main road from wimberry, instead of turning off, carry on up the hill for a bit until you see a signpost for binn green. park here and find the boulder just above. A couple of good problems.

This is cool for cats, can't rememeber the grade - 6c?
