London

[David Kruger]

Just a wee message, for anyone and everyone who wines about climbing in SA, don’t!! I am stuck in freezing cold London, and all I ever get to do is climb on the stinky dirty old climbing gym! I would give my left nut for a day out at NSA with the lads!!! Rock on I will be home soon, hopefully....

[D Bez]

Mmmm , know what you're talking about . Which one is it Mile End / The Castle ? Not only NSA even , but just think NSA ; Pinnacle ; Mary or Howisons. (dricus.bezuidenhout@za.pwc.com)

Thanks. I'm off to the U.K. later this year.Can't wait to climb in a dingy gym! (shaggyJC@hotmail.com)

[David Kruger]

I mainly climb at west way check out http://www.westway.org/sports/wsc/climbing/gallery The Castle is mainly bouldering, not many lead routes, and mile end is on the wrong side of London for me. J let me know when u gonna be in the UK and we can go down the gym if u keen.. Rock on. (djkruger@webmail.co.za)

just out of curiosity, how many of us here are stuck in London at the moment? For what it's worth I get down to Mile End at least once a week. (callumd@gmail.com)

Hey Dave, When are you returning to the land of the living? UK is for the birds. (marshall@reworkafrica.co.za)

[David Kruger]

Derek \"captain & coke\" Marshall I be back early April for a 3 weeks, I will email u closer to the time. Take some time of work we can head down to Morgans for a few nights if u dig??

[Derek Marshall]

Seriously keen Dave. Will try to make you stay

For those of you living in London, I suggest getting to Spain (especially Catalunia) to climb: endless amounts of awsome climbing, SUN, great food, and the air-fair is about the same as your Zone 1-6 monthly.

Hey London isn't that bad, and you can leave any time you like. I mean why did you come here in the first place? Free choice? And from London you can travel any place in the world, you can't from SA...even on a crappy sallery. And make the best of the weather, maybe learn a bit about trekking and so on, you can camp in the field and won't get murdered (gerhard@soak.co.za)
