This film is fantastic. I'd really recommend watching some of Alvi's other videos http://vimeo.com/alvi/videos
There are some really good ones of Finnish bouldering.

P.S. In reply to HeMa:
If there is going to be a UKC Konala meet, I'd like to go too.

If you want to get a cup of Andy's coffee, you have to hurry, we are leaving for Rocklands next Monday, and will be out for the summer.

In reply to sakarimcgregor: Just make sure you train whoever replaces you guys to make such nice coffee as well! Have a great trip to SA.

One the DH biking is the wee ski hill just down the road from me. Must say it looks maybe better for biking than it is for skiing.
