Also, if you happen to be anywhere near Darwen (maybe passing on the M65?) there is an excellent sadler very near the town centre. They've also done all sorts of jobs for me over the years - and their work is excellent. They made my most recent cave diving harness; the D rings at the back are big horse brasses, which have great tactile properties when fumbling with krabs behind your back, with cold, neoprene-clad, sausage fingers.
(Really this is in case it's useful for other folk to know, as I suspect Topcat doesn't often go over that way.)
