CNCC rigging guides: rope lengths

I have both volumes of the Rigging Guides and great they are!  But sometimes the rope lengths don't match text / diagram.  I'm sure I won't be the first to notice this, so is there a corrected list somewhere?

Shuttleworth Pot 45 / 60  [text/dia]
Bull Pot of the Witches 20/15
Simpson Pot 50/45 and 30/27
Outsleets Pot  15/13
Notts Pot 40/45
Yordas Pot 30/40 and 40/30

Some of these probably don't matter [eg 15/13], but some are significant, [eg 45/60, 30/40]

Since it's a CNCC publication it may be best to feed back through the contact details on the CNCC website. I did that with the Shuttleworth one and got a very good quick response.

For info the Shuttleworth pitch needs a 45m rope not 60m.

All that said it's not like taking the longer length of any of those is going to be a huge burden...

True, if you have the longer rope!  I can do Shuttleworth on 45 but not on 60, unless I take an 80, which is a lot of extra when solo.

I think we rig it with a 35 lol. (As the first 2 short drops are free climbs)
