Bocking In Newcastle?
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:43:31 PM »
Just a quick post to ask if anybody would be up for/would consider a meet up in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, seeing as that's the nearest major city to me (50 miles away).

Post back if you think you could make it at any point, and if it's possible for a few people, and there's enough takers, we might see about arranging a meet at the most convenient time for everybody.

I love Newcastle, it's fantastic for Parkour!
Unfortunately it costs a fortune to get there.
So I can't go. Sorry. Hope you have fun though!
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

When it come to setting up a meet in a area for the first time it can be dissapointing.
There maybe people who would like to come but can't make the date or travel that far so you end up alone  :Cno:
But sometimes a new meet takes off and loads turn up  :Csmile:

For me, like many others it's a long way, I've been there once so no little of what the place is like.
The question with any new meet is "Why should we go there to meet ? "

Your best bet is to set a date tell us as much as you can about what the place is like and why it would be a great place to Bock and hope people turn up. But don't be upset if no one turns up keep trying   

If your plan a meet May/June time I should  be free and maybe able to get there  :Cyes:
