One for the diary with the news that Sheffield's Cliffhanger event is back for 2008 with dates being 12-13 July.

Last year's inaugural Cliffhanger suffered from wet conditions but was still reasonably successful, this year it's changed venue to Sheffield's Millhouses Park which has a boating lake, it's own river, skate ramps and has better transport links.

So what's on? Well, if it's outdoors, there's a good chance it's going to be there. The British Bouldering Championships., a caving obstacle course, come and try it climbing walls, loads of demonstrations from mountain rescue to parkour via mountain biking and kit surfing, a free lecture and film marquee and a 'massive bargain area', it says here.

There's more too including food, music, a CAMRA-run beer festival - oh yes - kayaking, erm, free iron smelting recreations, north shore-style mountain biking anyway, you get the idea. Loads to do, lots of free things. To whet your appetite, here's some footage from last yea's Cliffhanger :-)

You can find more details at www.cliff-hanger.co.uk where you can a check out lists of exhibitors, check transport links and so on.
