The chain isnt high, just hard unless you have ubber strong fingers.

the ladders you may feel different about when you see them, or rather see whats missing from them.

you dont have to use the ladders or the chain . you can access most levels using the old mans stair ways. there's tonnes(literally) to see.
 if your climbing there dan give me a nudge, if im free i'll come along

You "should" already have the details..

I'm going to have to start throwing my weight about, not to much to worry about, not until I start throwing Tims weight about.

As long as there's no wind, I'm fine with missing rungs. Anyways, as You're not going there, any other suggestions?

hummm, if you would need picking up, it would need to be something in that direction. manchester to north wales Via wrexham is a huge de-tour

Let me have a think. Gwenfro Culvert, although it is underground-ish. The Industrial estate is full of WW2 Munitions-buidling stuff.

Or, I have an SRT practice spot that's pretty cool, maybe 10 mins walk, 2 mins drive.

been up Snowdon today taking the Dan route, so my feet are now blistered, my legs are cut and i'm covered in bruisers, i'm happy to go out, but nothing too mental, if there isnt something organised quickly, i'll just take my bike out somewhere.
