Yes. Thumbs up to Dave and Alex for supporting us. It would be great if in return a proportion of us clicked the links for insurance and/or to become a member - hell I might will even do it myself  :o.

Their work on access, buying crags like Longbridge, child comps, supporting replacement bolts has made them a lot more progressive and relevant in my eyes in recent years - and of course supporting UKB.  :dance1:

i'd like to see my membership fee going to employ a 'Bee MC' - like a honey-producing, airborne, Jay-Z buzzing around the crags rapping his nuts off, that kind of thing.

Would Bonjoy rap if we blacked him up?

I'm a member, have insurance with them and have bought a fair few of their maps. (1:40000 is a great scale, they're really good for running and there's just one map for the lakes, not 4!)

(I'll still click through a few times though....)

Timely banner.

Already a member and use BMC for insurance (when I remember!), but some new guides have been in the offing so I clicked through and purchased them (Froggatt to Black Rocks and Definitive Pembroke) today at a discounted rate (which is great, although essentially the discount covers the cost of postage).

Nice one. Yes, everyone enjoying the shiny new resin bolts down the dale owe the BMC a big thanks.

Happy to help, but there would be no point buying these if it wasn't for the great work put in by volunteers like Bonjoy etc to do the hard bit - placing them. Good effort.

What's the situation with old bolts around the Peak? Much rusty old crap that needs removing? I'm buying a BMC angle grinder for tidying up after re-equiping and am keen for it to get put to good use. If you can think of anywhere in desperate need, let me know.

Beautifully designed banner too, the best without a doubt since that fine UKB tee one.

I like the banner.
Autumnal guidebook one?

Yeah, nice and simple and conveys the syke of gritstone as autumn / winter approaches.

Although really the caption should be: "Rad NEW Froggatt Guide - contains more photos of Fiend than any previous guide!!*"

















* - but don't let that put you off too much

BMC Froggatt to Black Rocks
Ramrodded into its 528 joyous full-colour pages is more information, photos of Fiend, inspiration and fun than you can shake a clip stick at. From predictably amazing Froggatt sizzlers to whole crags you’ve never heard of – Upper Matlock Quarries, anyone? Big leads on mighty classics to tucked-away ticks on quiet wooded buttresses. From top-level highballs to gentle bouldering circuits. From Victorian tweed-wrecking classics to the latest nerve-testing desperates.

Grimer/Alex can you insert ?

I've highlighted the relevant bit you could insert. Fiend will be wetting himself in anticipation now.

Lets see if Fiend knows how many photos of him are in it? Over to you Fiend.
