Questions and worries you may have:


I don't even know what roped climbing, bouldering and auto-belay mean!

No worries, we will start from scratch, and everything will be explained.


I have a fear of heights, is this course suitable for me?

Absolutely! It is quite normal to have a fear of heights but you'll have to start somewhere if you want to give climbing a go. There is no expectation/pressure for participants get to the top of the walls (or even off the ground). And trust me, the fear will become less and less, the more you practice (if you do it the right way, more about this on the course).


I am worried, I'll embarrass myself!

No need to worry. This is a group of supportive women, and the climbing wall is small and it's likely we'll have it all to ourselves. Yes, climbing can make you feel vulnerable and exposed, but remember, we are all in the same boat. And we'll own it! Besides: Just the fact that you are part of it just shows how brave you are!


I have medical conditions/disabilities

Please do message me, so we can talk it through and see if this activity is suitable for you. Climbing can be beneficial to a range of medical conditions and disabilities when practiced correctly.


If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
