  16. I'm giving all my kit a bit of a birthday before heading into the New Year. Duck oil seems to be be the recommended choice for lubing carabiners, graphite powder and WD40 getting the thumbs down. Do any of the suppliers on here stock it? It's not obvious on any web sites.

Innonotus and previous topping. A consultant recommended a 6/7m 'pollard' mid December. My price was accepted on the 22nd, could we do it over Christmas break? Go on then. I knacked my hamstring chasing a pheasant yesterday, but the boys did me proud. Pub at 3. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
