I'd get out there and make the most of it then instead of waiting by the door for a book to appear.  Lots of boulders and problems are very prominent and can be climbed without recourse to a guide to tell you that cofe graded it wrong.  :tease:

That's exactly what I'll be doing as soon as I leave work. Good idea to get some projects ticked before I find out they've all been downgraded though  :lol:

Would two more days really make any difference?  :shrug:

Probably not in the grand scheme of things, but it has been delayed by over a week already so sooner would be preferable to later.

are folk aware that It's mid summer, cheedale is dry and the tor will be climbable for another four months or more.
I'm as keen to see this guide as many but it'll be heading straight to the small room reading pile for the foreseeable future, what's the rush :shrug:

I can't believe it, it arrived this morning. it's now 5pm in France and I still haven't got it. What the hell is going on with the Royal Mail these days?  :whistle:

Me too  ;D

I was quite excited but my daughter put me straight, "well that's a bit boring".

SHIT, I've been out. Should I go to the end of the path and clench and unclench fists?

I'm starting to wonder if I forgot to tick the box that said "hand delivery" when I ordered mine  ;)

I should note only a few have been hand delivered - to addresses close to where people at our place live. we'll be delivering a few of the remaining sheffield ones tomorrow. it's been a pretty hectic/busy day but everyone should have their order very soon.

Just got back from the Tor to find it waiting on the doorstep :-)

Thanks guys.

The've all been sent out, plus an epic hand delivering mission which to be fair faded somewhere on the S6/S10 border at school run/do you fancy Cheedale now o'clock.

Seriously guys some of you climbers need to get bigger letter boxes, or hang around the house all day on the off chance a new guide comes out.

Right time to start debating those grades.

Mine was waiting on the doorstep when I got back from work, so that was a good part of my evening taken up.  From my initial perusal it seems great!  I particularly like the rubberised black text on the back, how much did that cost me/you.

If the postman knocked he did well to do so in a manner that could not be heard by the three people in the next room (all doors open). They did, however, hear the letterbox shut as he posted the "ha,ha, you'll have to get it yourself" card - unfortunately he was too fast for my wife to catch up with him before he sped off in a waiting van.

I'll see if they have it back at the sorting office on Saturday.

 :agree: Amazing. Shame it came during revision though - big big distraction...

That's pretty annoying Largers. I'm in the enviable position of living on the same street as the postman's mum. There's something quite quaint about getting the "you weren't in" card when it says "It's at me Mum's"!
