Now spoken for!

Now taken, thanks anyway Pitlamp

Free to a good home. Can drop at a hut in the Dales, or you can pick it up from me near Kendal.

I have about 17 of these 8-10ft lengths of rope to give away. They had been cut from expired climbing rope to use for raft building, but were never used. Would be useful for dog leads, bag cords, digging, skipping ropes etc. Not for anything safety critical obviously. Can drop at a Dales hut, or...

F'ing Hopeless and the Haywagon in Voldemort are two very pretty Leck Fell options.

I've got a feeling that the highlighted deviation may be a climbing nut in the opposite wall. Spotted something that looked like that at the weekend.

As far as I know, there is no single recommended book that covers all the content for the awards, but this page: https://british-caving.org.uk/our-work/training/leadership-awards/lcmla/ has a section called QMC Documents for Award Holders, which has various resources. These should contain lots...

Wow! Suppose it must have come down Diccan then. Will drop in at the hut at some point.

Anyone lost a boot? Am guessing it belongs to a caver, or a walker with an epic story to tell! Can return to you if you send some details.

Hi Space Doubt Caver, just wondering how you have your central maillon set up, i.e. the order of equipment? I can't imagine how your descender brake is getting stuck in the descender's karabiner, unless I've misunderstood? I would also expect an 8mm maillon to wear through your Stop a fair bit...

I've got the 22l bag, and it seems to be as good as the (more expensive) Meander bag that preceded it. I like the sloped opening of the bag as a feature, seems to close a bit more easily because it has a little bit of spare capacity over a level opening.

The pocket sits on the lower half of your ribcage. Without looking it up, would estimate it's about 15cm by 20cm. Mine is definitely big enough to take batteries, survival bag and a mars bar.

If you like AV, then have a look at Landjoff too. Their suits are of similar construction, but with a superior hood and internal big zipped pocket.

Roll Up, roll up! A spectacle not to be missed - a masterful entrance from the King! Illusions! Performing Bulls! Jingling! (with support from the lovely Vesper Simpson, if we have time to put her on) So make your dastardly way here. Row ten sumps if you have to! No rush, tons of time. PS...
