Can't help with the skateboard, but if your experiment works we've had great service from these people. We build lots of different kinds of custom trucks for getting materials & glass in and waste out of delicate buildings. They have all sorts of different castor materials and load rating etc...

That looks pretty horrible and loose. abseiling for climbing, I’ve tried turning sideways and just let my left hip rub against the rock. That’s for sharp clean overhangs through, with the rope more vertical. In those circumstances you can just bounce/jump past it if you’re confident. Rescue...

Or raise serious issues in a relatively light hearted way and potentially make folks question their current thinking without immediately jumping to a negative defensive reaction. If it doesn’t make the subject laugh then it’s failed, I agree on that.

Well that didn’t take very long. Yes.

How about this? Not great quality, shot with a go pro.

Yordas, Chapter House?

There are some thin sheets which appear to have been dumped in Trowbarrow Quarry, near Silverdale. Exact coords : 54.1745559193622, -2.7960332986070666

Last twinset I had hydro+o2 clean was £160 at capernwray. That was a mistake not asking for a price first. £320 for two sets / 4 cylinders! Previous years I’ve used scuba workshop uk near Rochdale. Twinset was about £65, £35 for singles 02 clean.

notts 2?

This is good stuff. I'm interested to know how the rainfall data knows how much rain fell in each grid square in unit time? They look like 1x1km squares so presumably there's no physical on site monitoring at this scale. If it's radar, how much actual data is in it, or is it a smoothing...

I should add that we did have some problems initially with WhatsApp for forward planning, as described by pwhole above. This has vastly improved this year now we have put some structure to it. Ours now works like this : We have a master group (a WhatsApp 'Community') that all club members...

The FMC is a climbing club but we do go caving. We have a WhatsApp group of regulars and potentials. Someone posts up that they want to go caving and suggests a day, people respond, we figure out where we’re going based on who wants to come. We try to be efficient with cars. The fylde guys...

Not exactly your symptoms but there is a lock mode if you hold one of the buttons down for 3seconds. Hold for 3 seconds to reset. If you press one of the buttons when locked it will just flash a few times and go off again. I thought I’d broken a hm65r after getting it wet inside but it had...

The colour one looks great. I did push the sunset one a bit in lightroom. Main one being moving the white balance from 'as shot' (4300K) to 'flash' (5500K), turns the brown to orange. (crop 10mm ISO200 F6.3 1/125 one flash at the bottom of the shaft at 1/1 and one in my hand at 1/4). It was a...

I’m not sure that stuffing neoprene into wellies and repeatedly crushing it by hiking up hills is particularly good for it either. I doubt an occasional ride in a washing machine and a bit of soap is going drastically shorten its life. Unfortunately an expensive consumable. I soak wellies and...

Heron was an option for a novice trip last night, but we weren't too enthusiastic about the crawl in the water so we went to sunset instead.

Tatham Wife - the pitch before the ramp?

The average person is only alive for about 30,000 days and you're going to die during one of them, even if you never go caving or get in a car. Coincidentally, that's about 0.003% too. Doing potentially dangerous things safely isn't as dangerous as you'd think.

The Lomo suit is great value as a summer or surface Drysuit liner, but it only works when it’s dry. Very heavy when wet, like a towel. The warmbac red under suits drain the best in my experience, even better than the AV ones.

As for what people are 'supposed' to do - I did the CNCC pull-through course last year (or maybe the year before?). The instructors demoed both options - single rope with a fig 9 blocking knot in the middle, or two shorter ropes and a discussion over various ways to tie them together. And they...
