In reply to Stu Tyrrell: Would this jeopardise any walls in Manchester area, as this is Greater Manchester/Merseyside?

And I was thinking of moving...

In reply to Stu Tyrrell:Wigan/Skem are not really near any other walls. Warrington is probably the nearest, but this area is generally a bit removed from the "hotspots" of climbing. I know - it is the devil of a job to get a regular partner round here.

In reply to Stu Tyrrell: If it's anything like Xscape, you'd better start saving now.

In reply to Dave Stelmach:

Whats xscape like, is it finished and running?
