Mini UK PK tour

At a recent training session, a few other traceurs and myself discussed the possibility of doing a tour of some of the UK's parkour spots sometime this summer. The idea would be to allocate 5 or 6 days to travelling around various cities, spending a day in each location and training with the locals. So as not to cause widespread disruption everywhere we go, we'd have to limit the numbers to maybe 6 people at the most. I haven't trained in many of the parkour 'hotspots' yet, so this would be a great opportunity to do so, and of course to meet different traceurs along the way. The idea is still in its early stages at the moment, but it's certainly worth discussing potential locations. Personally, I'd like to visit Leicester (and to have a go at one of Blane's hell nights), and perhaps Cambridge again. I spoke to David from Edinburgh Parkour through email a few days ago, and he was up for training with us if we could find our way up there. Unfortunately, Edinburgh might be too far north for us to reasonably incorporate it into a tour. If you have any suggestions regarding locations, or just to express your interest in coming along, post a comment :-)
