Peak District beginner bouldering spots

I’ve spent the last three months bouldering indoors and now I am looking to take what I’ve learned outdoors. I live in Liverpool and would be getting the train to somewhere in the peaks, but I don’t know where. Could somebody suggest me some locations to travel to or resources where I could find what I need?

Stop the closure of Plymouth's only rope climbing wall

The council and Plymouth Active want to close down the Life Centre's climbing wall and replace it with a soft play area.

This would be a massive shame because we're on the doorstep of Dartmoor with this indoor climbing wall being the gateway into climbing for many (myself included).

Now it's an Olympics and soon to be Paralympic sport means it's something we should be celebrating having the facilities for and pushing for investment not closing it.

The fact they want to replace it with a soft play blows my mind when there're so many vacant properties in the city centre which a soft play would suit as it'd bring more people into the centre.

I've linked the petition that's been going around for anyone who's interested

Diet question

Hi guys
I’m 33, 1.77m and 65kg

I’m pretty lean but I feel parts of me are ‘skinny fat’
I always get to a point where I hit a brick wall trying to lean out further.
I’ve got friends who eat more or less the same as me (or even cheat more than I do on my diet) and are not even as active as I am but manage to look waay more lean.

Any advice on nutrition?

Any specific strategies people here have tried that works for them?

Climbing comps for children?

Hey y'all - first time poster here.

Anyone know how to stay on top of all the climbing competitions out there for children?

My kid's in her local squad team but aside from YCS, finding competitions for her to be a part of isn't easy, unless you're all over Instagram following every gym in the UK.

Any tips?!

Thanks heaps
