I want to go and check out that Great White problem at Crookstones but I always get vetoed on the destination choice.

Go on your tod then. Great soloing, highballing, bouldering.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

I only went to see Jonboy mime Lowrider.

Some familiarity with the workings of Dave's mind was definitely an advantage though. I challenge Toby and Nige to write a quiz our team can't win...

I've got some ideas that might level the playing field a bit...

With good reason, Crookstones is crap. Go to Crookrise or Rylstone.

The next BMC Peak Area Meeting is being held on the 6th February, 7.30pm at The Maynard, Grindleford. EVERYONE WELCOME.

Apart from an update on access issues, and an overview of the year
ahead, other agenda items include; ratifying the Peak Area general
guidelines to placing bolts and other fixed gear; the BMC Position on
Drilled Equipment; plus a proposal for fixed gear replacement at
Stoney. All the associated paperwork can be found on the BMC Community
website - http://community.thebmc.co.uk/Event.aspx?id=2794

On top of this, Gordon Stainforth will be our guest speaker, talking
about his book ‘Fiva: An Adventure That Went Wrong’ (Winner of ‘Best
Book – Mountain and Wilderness Literature’, Banff Mountain Film and
Book Festival, 2012). Gordon will be bringing along some copies to
sell and sign (or if you already have a copy, then bring it along -
I'm sure he won't mind signing it).

Hope to see you there.

I've just put the FINAL DRAFT Peak Area Bolt Guidelines on the BMC Communities website.  Go here http://community.thebmc.co.uk/Event.aspx?id=2794

Also, the latest Peak Area Newsletter can be found on the BMC website.

I know it´s about a mountain climb - but Gordon´s talk is excellent. I heard him at Kendal.

See you on Wednesday. Moff

Yours truly is doing the honours this year. It's coming together...

[Johnny Brown]

Phil Kelly will be there with Graham Hoey

Word on the street is they'll have a few copies of Peak Rock fresh off the boat from China! You'll need £38 and sharp elbows...

[fried]

I trust the quiz questions will be posted for us non-attendees.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

I'll see what I can do

I think the word is they hope to have some (and will need cash if anyone wants one.). Phil and Graham beating the UKB table on a UKB table quiz... maybe but most likely not.. unless we split you up. Moff has collected various bits and bobs now over and above the star prizes to guarentee most people who turn up will get something, even if its a bottle opener or signed poster so hopefully its worth fighting over 3rd/4th/5th... place table.

[cofe]

I'll be trying to bring along copies of the special editions for people who have preordered from us (Vertebrate), Moff and Offwidth included. If you think you ordered one from Vertebrate, you're going to be at the meeting and you'd like me to try and bring yours along, then PM me in advance.
