With regards to rock climbing, I am a member of two mountaineering clubs and through them am covered by the BMC's insurance. https://www.howdengroup.com/uk-en/british-mountaineering-council/clubs (I do get a refund for the 2nd club's BMC fee)

A few years ago, a university climbing club went to a wall. A climber fell, his fall wasn't arrested, he fractured a vertebra and is now paraplegic. He sued the belayer for £200,000 and won his case. I understand the claim was paid by the BMC's insurers.

A good home has been found.

I've just posted over in free recycling an FX2 with LED insert. There's a photo comparing it with a Rude Nora on setting 3. Quite comparable, though more tightly focussed.

Free to a good home (though a donation to a rescue organisation would be appreciated). Lancaster / the BPC Dump / Gaping Gill winch meet or caver post. Complete Speleotechnics FX2 set in working order. No guarantees about the life left in the battery packs, although swapping them for one or...
