Day Four.

What a day today was. We managed to do what we aimed for a striped painted and re coated a huge chunk of the centre. It was an absolute mission but now its done it looks good. Starting a midday Dave, Richard, Rob and myself started to strip the holds off the wall and prepare the surfaces and started to apply the paint.
Rob provided to be vary handy with his useless tips and general lazying around the place although we found him useful for some jobs but fair play to him. Oh, and he has proven to be vary handy at painting certain pictures on the walls. Enough said just don't look behind the overhang!!!!

Dave and Rich got stuck in from start to finish and with the exception of a few phone calls to be made on Rich's behalf, mainly to organise piss ups. Lessons still had to go one though so i had to teach for a while which left the lads to finish off and a what a great job they done. The painting is now being left to dry over night and tomorrow we will put in the routes ready for the evening.

The whole task took about seven hours to complete. fiddle little sections to paint and stuck holds held us up for a while but aggression got rid of them with the help of hammers

We are still waiting for the volume as reported yesterday to finish off the wall painted the other day. We will also be putting a different volume in under the overhang in the yellow section pictured above but again your have to wait and see as to what shape it will be.

Tomorrows job is to set the routes and clean all the holds we took off today. Route cards will be done for all of the routes already set up. The future jobs are set to be the hardest i reckon with the big 9m wall still left to paint. Hopefully tomorrow evening i can report on the completion of the back section of the centre and it will be open for use.

Massive thanks has to go out to the tremendous effort put in by Dave, Rich and that other guy........... oh yeah Rob!!!!!! Great job guys and session on soon!!
