Parkour Report

The Cliffhanger event has now passed and I think everyone agrees it went well.

On the Saturday a whole bunch of guys from Sheffield and Manchester were busy giving demonstrations and talking to people throughout the morning and afternoon. The weather was fantastic and the demonstrations attracted a fair number of people, some of whom came back the following day especially. The talk in the evening was on too late to attract much of an audience (being just before the event closed) but it was received well by the handful of event staff who were there!

The weather on the Sunday was not so good and it rained heavily for most of the day. Attendance at the event was down but neither that nor the weather stopped us training, although we did mainly restrict ourselves to fitness and strength exercises. We were one of the few 'stands' still operating through Sunday afternoon and although we all got drenched we had a good time nevertheless.

The ad-hoc obstacles we ended up with turned out to provide us with much entertainment. The scaffolding structures were great to move through and stable enough to jump between, while the hay bales provided endless fun.

Roll on next year!
