Fair comment for the one bowl.
The rest of the park is huge and mostly ledges and flat banks.

The other halfs family are from Ched  so I'm often up in the North ;)

I'll look in. I can take the nephew he's into his skateboarding and I can see if I can put some faces to names etc.

there's definitely going to be floodlights, will be ace.
 all the bands have been cancelled by the council for the opening jamboree. and the weather looks poopoo
don't know if it.s going to be finished on time either, my mate who lives round the corner reckons not.
i'm going to have a look in the morning. it's time to rescue the bike off my nan!!!
there is an oatcake shop across the road from the entrance you got to try one they are nice and will give you more air and belly ache if drunk with fizzy pop. if you ride down the hill you can jump the lake. i hope the bowl doesn't flood or the ducks will be in it after soggy bread which is actually poisonous to some birds (i've wandered!!!) you will probably meet some strange natives too.

 mmmmmmm nice warm oatcakes :P honestly it would be worth travelling  to the park just to sample stoke's finest cuisine . Rad Hab you will be most welcome there ;).
  my favourites were always plain buttered ones ,piping hot straight off the griddle, but then us poor sods from neck end (longton) were always skint, bacon and cheese indeed ;D Flash newcastle  gits ;)
  dordy do you have oatcake shops in stafford?
