    Best glue to stick the soles of my shoes back together?

    You could combine both and use Evo-Stik contact adhesive. I've had some success repairing shoes with it. Best not used in a confined space though.

    Wrysgan Purchase

    I'll be around that way over Easter and might take a wander around Wrysgan, has the previously open access changed with the change in ownership?

    Stolen motorcycle

    As someone who is considering fitting trackers to my bikes, I'm guessing it hasn't been much use in locating it?

    Charity challenges

    I guess we live in a time with a population density such that although regularly getting outdoors into your local countryside is generally agreed to be good for the individual it would also be a disaster for the countryside if every individual did it...

    Charity challenges

    I'd say something is a bit amiss there if the amount raised per person was only £30. The cost of the average 'experience' type parachute jump looks to be around £250-£300. I would have thought the aim with any of these sort of things should be to raise at least more than the participation cost...

    So better to make sure if you are doing something dangerous that you do it on one of the middle ones (y)

    BCA statement on peer to peer training

    I think it's entirely natural (and probably even the desired effect?) that when a statement on responsibilities like this is put out by a governing body it causes folk to pause and think about how/if they are fulfilling their responsibilities - and following on from that natural to ask...

    Ingleborough Hall closure consultation; petition

    I have signed, although I am not local. We have lost our own local authority outdoor centre in recent years which was a great asset, both our girls used it during school holidays and you could even just rock up there and hire kayaks and canoes etc. A mates holiday job there when we were young...

    Exploring with Fighters - a warning to all mine explorers, cavers and URBEXers

    I wonder if there are other hobbies and interests that have similar concerns :unsure: I know there is a bit of unease in the car/motorcycle world about some channels behaviour on public roads, there's certainly been some contoversy among 'vanlife' channels over people showing good free...

    First aid designed for solo adventurers

    Absolutely agree, I am very much a sunday afternoon caver (well more of a mine explorer), in mountaineering terms if most folk here are serious alpinists, I'm strolling up Catbells. As such I'm greatly in favour of the solo trip, I'm not spoiling anyone elses day if I decide I don't fancy...
