A helmet and lamp have been found on the verge of the Wells Road between Lower Pitts Farm and Priddy. Judging by the amount of mud, it probably belongs to a digger. If you believe it may be yours then drop me a description and we can arrange its return.

Hi As a belated Xmas pressie to myself, I've purchased 100m of Edelrid's finest 10mm Static rope  ;D  The question is what do I need to do with it before I cut it into the lengths I require? I'm aware that new ropes can shrink by as much as 10% once they are "used".  So how do I get most the...
