I'll be in Mansfield for a few days over the xmas break. I might have to pack the pad and get out there one day myself.
Although - I'm nursing a tweaked finger at the moment - granite crimps might not be too friendly......

@ Bl@ke: If you've got any suggestions as to where to go, I'm all ears...

I'm from Shepp and I know the Boho, Barjarg, Lima area like the back of my hand because I used to go up there every weekend with my family.

I'll be back for Christmas so I'd love to help develop the area with you. I'll bring my bouldering pad.

PM'd you superstu and bl@ke.

Cheers,
Staggy

Thanks Rat Man! Same xmas cheers to you, Gemma and family. Definitely need to catch up again and meet the rug rats including the latest rat in the nest! ;-)

Will be in touch to try and organise something in the new year.

I've tried the circular wire brush attachment on the drill with little luck. The best brushes I've used have close and stiff nylon bristles. Get ones with a "knuckle duster" handle.

A good spray of roundup the week before always helps.
