New gear store opening nearby. 2 new climbing walls open in Leeds now!

Just had this through the email:

I'd like to invite you and your members to the official GO Outdoors Superstore (www.gooutdoors.co.uk) opening on Saturday 25th April. The Mayor of Leeds will be in store on Saturday morning when, amongst other things, he'll be presenting a trophy to the West Yorkshire Outdoor Adventurer of the Year.

GO Outdoors Pudsey becomes the national outdoor retail chain’s fourteenth store and the West Yorkshire’s first themed 50,000 square feet outdoor superstore featuring a six-metre-high family-friendly climbing wall. In a break with traditional outdoor store layouts, customers will enter the new store through a walk through on a hand-made timber path. The themed area will also feature more than 4.5 tonnes of lime stone fashioned into a hand-built dry-stone wall. The theming will continue with wooden rustic gate and stile and more than 1500 square metres of synthetic turf for the complete the ‘outdoors inside’ experience.

The centre piece family-friendly six metre high indoor climbing wall will allow customers to experience indoor rock climbing, before putting new footwear to the test on a range of different walking surfaces.

If you can make it let me know and I'll make sure I look out for you on the day. It would be good to meet up.

Cheers,

Check it out if your interested. I suppose it's a good time to point out that Leeds now has TWO yes TWO more climbing walls. They both look really good and what with them both being dedicated bouldering facilities there won't be any ropes or harnesses to lug down there. Just pop your shoes, chalk and a drinky in your bag and off you pop. Don't be afeared if all the problems look sick hard and overhanging. There are some gentle slabs and easy problems too.
