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.

Sadly this seems to be a Royal Mail standard tactic as it's happened to me before. I can only presume they think it's an opportunity for time saving rather than knocking and waiting for someone to open the door.

This is bloody ridiculous, still no guide! I had nothing to read on the throne last night. If it's not sat on the doormat tonight I'm breaking into the VG headquarters and shaving Cofe's head. Without the curls of power, the VG Empire will collapse.

They've been warned........

It wouldnt make any difference... The Cofe mane has been a wig for a number of years.. after the hair implants failed...

It was well worth the wait.

(and the black & green beer mat towel is funky too)

Big Dave · June 17, 2011, 10:07:14 am

Doh! The missus was out for an hour yesterday lunchtime, on her return the Royal Mail get it yourself card had been posted, nice timing!

That's what they say about me.

You really should stop hanging around the Dementia Unit, Lagers.

Having owned one (or more) of these for some time, I can thoroughly recommend NOT using it to clean any rock. It'll end up as a pile of string! Funky coloured string mind.

My copy's just arrived, looks awesome! Good work to all involved

ducko · June 17, 2011, 11:56:11 am

awsome guide arrived!
well excited too get my ass down the peaks and try some of the sweet looking problems!

JamieG · June 17, 2011, 12:06:01 pm

New guide is very swish indeed. The cover photo is particularly inspiring.

But lets get down to the nitty gritty (sorry). I only really bought the guide in the vain hope of some problems i've done going up in grade . . . sadly i have to report I'm probably down half a grade on average. Haha!

Top effort, on the guide, I have so many new places to go and explore and many more projects to get shut down on. Thanks!

Norton Sharley · June 17, 2011, 12:11:08 pm

Very good. Loving the photos, except that bloody long haired rat is in again

rodma · June 17, 2011, 12:23:00 pm

Top effort

Tis a work of art

Now all I need is a dry weekend.

cheque · June 17, 2011, 02:42:29 pm

Just picked mine up from the delivery office. Nice. I particularly like the limestone section.

rich d · June 17, 2011, 09:03:59 pm

Just drove back from work in Glasgow. 5 hrs driving to find the guide waiting for me and a few beers, YYFY. First look it's absolute quality, great job guys.

Collected my £20 beer towel and free guidebook from Royal Mail on Saturday.

Excellent work, very impressed. Loads of new areas added, particularly like the ones Manchester side of the Peak as closer to me, I didn't realise the extent of the bouldering up at Tintwhistle and Black Tor, so look forward to checking them out.

Snoops · June 20, 2011, 12:06:17 pm

I think it is a great guide.
My only quibble is I'm not a fan of starring problems, think they just get singled out for more traffic.
Excellent otherwise though
