Looking to get hold of a copy of this baby:



I have emailed Rockfax, but they don't know where I can get a copy and Ebay is not working either...

Cheers

[Drew]

Sorry. Not getting rid of my copy any time soon, but I was just curious, why?

Why not get the newer, better, wider ranging





EDIT:   Maybe try Hitch n Hike in Bamford, and Hope. I've seen some old guidebooks in there before now.

Thanks Drew - I have a copy of the Rupert Davies one.

The Rockfax one covers a lot of the lesser known areas such as Hobson Moor Quarry (which is close to me) and has more problems (apparently) than the newer guide too...

[Johnny Brown]

You listening cofe and jonjon? I warned you about ignoring quarries on the western fringe...

There's a new edition of the VG guide out next year, should fix your issues if you can wait.

we're dropping stanage and sticking tegg's nose in. like for like.

Great stuff - I have been trying to procure the Rockfax one for about a year now, so waiting for another one is not going to make much difference

Thank you for the info

The occasional one appears on Amazon secondhand, but you have to check pretty regularly!

Not being any reflection on the value of the new one, but I think that the Rockfax one was a great guide. I have always been really impressed by the accuracy and userability of the topos, and the info always rings true.

Ahh - just rub it in

I actually got one for xmas, didn't like it and took it back to the shop. Ironically I swapped it for a guide I've barely used.

I'm not far from there too.. drop me a pm/message if you fancy heading out there some time,

Nice one - I will keep that in mind will probably be in a few weeks or so. But sounds good 

Do you have a copy of the guidebook too? 

[nik at work]

I think I might have two copies, you can have one if I do. I'll check.

That would be blinding if you do 

If you do and are willing to part with one, let me know how much you want for it...

Well I definitely have two copies. However glancing up at the guidebook shelf didn't yield results, a quick trip to the bathroom revealed no peak bouldering guide in the toilet reading pile.
This means they could be anywhere in the house, which isn't good news on the "find it quickly" front.

However if I find one I'll send it to you in exchange for a donation to a MRT of your choice (the size of the donation is also at your discretion). Fair?

[Tris]

Superb - thank you very much Nik...

£20 to Edale sound ok to you?

Hope you find it

[GCW]

He's only getting rid because Nik's Wall didn't make the final print

You're welcome!  Hope you get one from nik at work though, otherwise I've just created more competition for myself, doh!

Tris - this geezer's got a copy over on the other channel:

I've had a look and can't find either of them right now. I'll keep hunting and let you know if one turns up, but if you locate one in the meantime then I'd say go for it. Finding anything in my house is a major venture at the best of times....

Cheers Tommy - just checked now, and it's already gone  :'( :'(

Thanks Nik - I'm finding it very very difficult to find one 

Really hope you find it...

[nik at work]

I've been given a tip-off that it might be in my van. I'll check later today.

[Tris]

Thanks to everyone for their responses/tips/info and to Nik especially for searching through his mansion house/van, I have managed to finally find a mint copy on Ebay (it's only taken me a year).

I'm a happy chappy now!

Cheers

Tris

[nik at work]

My copies still haven't turned up. sorry, glad you got one in the end.

I bet I'll find them both now on the bedside table or something....

[Tris]

Thanks for taking the time to look Nik - if you do find the other one, I'm sure somebody else will take it off your hands!

[psychomansam]

indeed i'm sure they would.

peak: bouldering is crud at the lower end.

I can now boulder up to v4, which means i'm almost good enough for it to be a useful guide, but up to this point, and for plenty of my friends, and when i take new peeps bouldering it's just been hopeless.

I'm sure lower grade problems would increase popularity of the new edition as well, tis the reason we all treat rockfax like golddust...

...maybe i need to lose some pies...
