had to find somewhere to train blackburns events heavier tyre/duck walk/thinner log , yeh only up to 135 at the moment and platform hasn't been tested by folks who can explode with stones yet, very new place and very open to investing in new pieces of kit if it brings new customers, stone run is same specs that terry hollands provided for a stone run, was slightly uncomfy training in sun which I intend doing more of

You need to change the name of your journal if your not doing UKSC North. Its factually incorrect.
