Hi Dave, it seems like you managed to use the wiki to find dalis hole, and enjoy the climbing there. When people have mentioned looning the tube area within a matter of minutes there is a host of sports routes above the area, most established by small children, they aren't two bolts in 30 metres, there is a range of grades, the rock is far better than at dalis hole.
The area is called the sidings, and a similar range of grades is available on the wiki at an area call above looning the tube. I have cut and pasted the routes from the sidings below. If you want a bad weather venue for a group, then slate just isn't it.
People like you seem so unimaginative, as the starter of the wiki, it was never meant to replace the guide book just allow you to see what new rotues had been established, and which oif the classic routes had been re-equipped. Combining a guidebook and a little common sense it is easy to find these things.
Tip for the the top, high the text in the wiki you want, use ctrl C to copy it (Apple C for macs) and then paste it into a word document for printing, alternative print it direct from the wiki.
I am sorry I can't be there to hold your hand. i hope you enjoy exploring and the adventure.
