Hey, I'm based in manchester. I was going to come to the meetup at Dan house (the last one) but never made it due to some unforseen circumstances :S....
Unfortunatly I appear to live miles away from all the other UK cubers. Not to fear, I'll sort something out :) What are your times like these days? (Duncan and Jasmine), I don't really wanna be shown up at my first meetup :P Duncan - are you using a full L2L(1-4) method? If so, which?
