In reply to UKC News:
I took my kids on Sunday and preferred it to last year, there was a lot more the kids could do: climb, boulder, slackline etc.
It's these kinds of events that encourage people to have a go and give me a chance to involve the family a bit.
I didn't expect it too be a trade show so didn't get disappointed with lack of outdoor companies, although a few more wouldn't harm.
Interactive stuff, free stuff, a few bargains and only 15mins from where I live. Worked for me a a Londoner who doesn't get to climb much! Appreciate it might not appeal to all though
