Totally Mick. I’d be sat beside it with my Beretta till the police arrived.

Home schooling - anyone else had a bit of a shock??

Absolutely. -
Now recovered by owner apparently.

Seen that someone has found one on FB. I’ll try and put a link up in a bit.

Thanks mate, but climbing is the main use.

How much is it?

I’ve had Salewas in the past Tommy, and really liked them. What model are they?

My young lab chewed my Mammut Wall Guides this week, the little bitch. Brilliant non protective climbing boots. They will need replacing at some point, but unfortunately are no longer available. Unfortunately the trend with these boots now seems to be for colours that would fit in nicely at a Pride march. I don’t want red, orange, yellow, limeade or fuchsia, I want basically brown-ish, because I wear them shooting, walking etc. Is anything out there similar in a subtle colour? Basically lightweight approach boots, preferably Goretex. Please note non-protective boots only.

You sound pretty sensible mate, and you can obviously graft. Learning without putting all your eggs in one basket could be worth a go. Good luck with it.

I can’t think of a worse time to try and get into it, nothing to do with being 32.

How did you get that hanger off the line Don?!!!

I like to go forward in life, not back, but I came across this and couldn’t resist giving it to my friend @Mark J. We may differ on politics my friend, but we always agree on what being a proper human is all about.

Nice social distance number for some of the Lancashire lads on here. Fair bit of work there.

Blocks are obsolete Matty, we just don’t know it yet.

I’m having a night off the drink, it’s only 4%. Counts as part of my 5-a-day as well.

I’ll be giving the daal one a bash @Mark J. Love it.

The K&H wedges that @RobD sells at chainsawbars.co.uk are excellent. Great range of sizes as well. I have a couple of old steel faithfuls that I bought years ago from a local agri place that still get a good battering now and again, especially for splitting rings after boring.

Sorted. He’s just going to tell them he’s been a pikey for the last 10 years.

Thanks fellas, I’ll pass all this on. I can’t work out if it’s better for him to do it while all this drama is going on or to wait for some kind of normality to return.

No, he’s not at all arsed about making money due to the pandemic or anything, he mentioned it before it all started. He means long term.

I met this lad I used to climb with a couple of months ago. Great bloke, great climber, but always was a bit of a free spirit hardcore hippy arb type, living day to day, travelling, off up to the hills for weeks etc. Turns out he was living in a camper on his grans drive and had been completely ‘off grid’ for about 10 years. Never claimed anything, but never paid anything in either. He called me last night and asked if I had any ideas about how he could get back in the system again. Rather than just have him call HMRC I thought I’d ask on here to see if anyone had any ideas or experience they could offer.
