WoW?

For some reason it's pretty much solely racing games that interest me, but I guess could try something new.

Dirt 3

Awesome game, does it not get boring eventually though? Getting bored/losing interest seems to be a big problem of mine!

Play guitar and ride bikes are the only two left for me really. Guitar I've given up on pretty much, lost interest in that and been playing for 9 years ish I haven't progressed at all really. Can play a few songs but anything that has speed or solo like stuff I just cannot physically do.

I want to start trials again but I don't have the money or time to ride as I work full time. Also southampton is pretty lame for riding anything. All the parks are only really good for bmx.

Yeh, a f**king fortune. Indoor doesn't cost much though, but I climb outdoor as well so you need a lot more kit.

Here are some rough prices for you:

Entry to indoor wall - £5-8

Shoe hire - £2-3

Harness hire - £2-3

Belay device hire - £1-2

To buy your own kit though (which is much nicer to climb in and well worth investing in if you plan on doing it often):

Harness - £50 - £70

Shoes - £70 - £100

Belay device & carabiner - £20-50

Chalkbag and chalk - £15-30

That's your minimum amount of kit to top rope indoors. If you want to lead you'll need your own rope, which can be anything from £65-£250.

If you want to climb outdoors, set aside at least £200 for a rack.

Best advice I can give you is to find someone who climbs regularly, and tag along. I did that and I've managed to borrow a lot of gear, so it's not actually cost me much so far.

On climbing itself (getting there, getting in, chalk etc), I probably spend £50-75 a month, and on kit about £150 a month.

Yep. If I drink I don't want to remember the night, and beer makes me remember... That and the fact it tastes like gone off vagaga. Stro 80 on the other hand...

Fair enough :) Horses for courses and all that. I don't drink specifically to get drunk, I drink stuff I like the taste of. Clearly I'd like a gone off vagaga too... :P

Haha, I don't think any less of you because you drink beer. I think less of you because you ran the marathon and I almost died running 12 miles.

There's nothing wrong with vagrot, it's just beer puts me off it.
