I was also sucked in to buying a book about bike rides
You got off lightly, I went on to save £5 on the book (and for the beer towel) and came away having spent almost £100.

Bollocks! Does this mean I have missed my chance to correct the mis-naming of my problem?

Brief precis of the embarrassing situation:
I do a new problem round about the 1st birthday of my eldest niece. In a fit of excitement at being an auntie for the first time, I call it 'Maya's Wall' in honour of her. I excitedly tell my brother that I will buy him a copy of the guide when it comes out so they can have a copy for her to keep for ever and ever.

The guidebook comes out, only for me to find that someone has seriously messed up, got it confused with another problem done by my rather rude better half, so it is named as 'Dirty Bitch'.......

Do you see my problem? I've kept it from them for years, and now will have to continue to do so. Darn.

Tip-ex? I'm sure you wouldn't be the first person to use tip-ex in a bouldering guide............ :whistle:

I guess I'll have to wait for a more knowledgeable guidebook team to publish Woolpacks and Grinah topos.

You wont have long to wait until the BMC moorland grit guide comes out. The woolpacks and Grinah stones will be covered in that!

I saw this at the weekend and liked it so much I bought the company. Well, ordered two copies anyway. Loads of easier stuff in it which doesn't exist for me unless there is somewhere to tick it!

Joe, I think you qualify for two towels, perhaps even with the pint, cant guarantee postie wont spill it.

I asked cofe ages ago about details for the launch party. He said he asked you jonjon and you said there would be a “party in my pants and everyone’s invited”. I’m still waiting for a time and date. Hope you have big pants!
