WANTED - Tackle Bags

I'm after a few Tackle Bags, the bigger, the better!  At least one needs to be big enough to stow a 10m ladder.

Thanks

Hi Duncan, have you concidered flat coiling your ladders?: flip from clockwise to anti;clockwise between rungs. 8 M. ladder in shot.

What witchcraft is this? I've never seen this before. Does it tend to kink the wires? I'm going to have a play with my ladder and see if I can making it work.

No kinks whatsoever, a little more care unfurling to avoid rungs passing through. but worth the space saving and kinking wires by squashing a rolled ladder.

Hi owd git, when a ladder's coiled like that, does it have to be 'constrained' somehow ? with a tape sling, say ?  to stop it flying apart, or does it stay coiled?

Hi Duncan, we have a pile of shiny new tackle bags here at UKC HQ just waiting to be given away as Cave Conservation Rewards!

If you don't know of anywhere that needs cleaning, ask on the forum and I'm sure folks will have some ideas  :idea: :idea:

Pegasus - I'd be keen to do my bit!
I was in Suicide at the weekend (on assessment, so a bit knackered) and noticed a bit there. I'll see if I can pop back with a bin bag soon.
Thanks for letting me know.
