Established in 1994 as Scotland’s first dedicated indoor climbing centre, Alien Rock has laid the concrete foundations for creatures of climb to get to grips in a safe, fun, and communal environment. The company has since expanded into two venues, with Alien One devoted to raring-to-go ropers and Alien Two focussing on bold boulderers. A team of scrambling space invaders man the stations, giving advice and imparting expertise.
This three hour beginners climbing course will illuminate the basics of the sport, including belaying, tying the basic knot, using harnesses, understanding the climbing routes, and bouldering. The elevating enlightenment will take place on Monday or Friday evenings in groups of six, with an instructor on-hand to guide the way from start to finish. Two weeks of climbing access with equipment hire will then pave the way for newly found skills to ascend new heights.

It's a fantastic facility, even if I don't trust crash mats to fall on even from half an inch away, the staff are really professional and didn't laugh at my inability to get more than a metre off the ground as much as my pals... which was really nice of them and they helped me as much they possibly could. It had a real community spirit and sense of family.

The Groupon Guide to Eating Easter Chocolate
As well as celebrating the coronation of the Easter Bunny and the annual harvest of hot cross buns, Easter is the time when hens start laying chocolate eggs for no apparent reason. Here's how to put them to good use:
Fun with foil
The most joyous part of eating Easter eggs is the foil, which tastes as shiny as it looks.
Check the brown content
If you find you’ve been given chocolate containing low levels of brown, get it examined by an expert chocolate eater. If they find less than 24 carats – or even worse, actual carrots – then the Easter Bunny has mugged you off and you should bin it immediately.
Enjoy the moment
Easter chocolate feels good: the weight, the texture, how it looks in the sunshine, how nice the fresh air smells, how lovely it would be to go to the park, call some friends, throw a Frisbee, go home, watch TV, go for a night out, have a dance, then return home and fall asleep on your chocolate.
Etiquette
Eating chocolate can get messy. While saving the melted chocolate to peel off later might seem like a good idea, social convention dictates that you wipe it off immediately (unless you’re below the age of four, in which case it’s acceptable to leave it on for some reason).
