Whilst I'm generally quite happy to bag people where deserved, in the name of fairness:
1. It's not that bad, Nuna is a very different climbing experience to the city so it's fun to get out there anyway.
2. May not be the intention but you make it sound like there's only ONE slot the entire week. As far as I know Dave conducts several tests on Tuesday one after the other. Two of my friends booked the week before their test and had the choice of a couple of time slots, this was only two months ago.

From idle chatter I know they are thinking about testing in the CBD but that won't happen till late Oct at the earliest.
