I've never been one for autographs, but I really hope I get one of the signed copies....

And if anyone at the works can get Johnny to sign it, I'll be a copy going to France.

In contrast, having paid £3 p&p, I have just recieved an email from the BMC saying it's been dispatched. Booo! Sure someone posted yesterday saying they were going last night?

They did, some folks on the other channel have reported receiving theirs already. They may have run out of time - the postie usually comes at 5pm and the shipment didn't come in till gone 3. When I left at 4.30 there was some frenzied activity trying to get all of them packaged and ready (we ordered 50 and they've all sold). Good news for the Dawes though, I think it's going to be a total smash.

Apologies, got home to it on the mat! Seems it was only the email that was delayed!

What are the chances of a second run? Or will this be as rare as a consumed DVD or a worth while rockfax?

Touching stuff. Impressive how well he's walking on shitty slate rubble, but sad how hard the climbing is. I winced at the muffed knee mantle! If only he had just a bit of something in his right arm...

Great link Slack-line ...... Inspirational and awe inspiring ...... Never thought it would be possible but Paul Pritchard's gone up even further in my estimation  :bow:

I've just read it on holiday doyle, its good, you should get it. Not the easiest read in the world but like limestone it rewards persistence.

He uses the word "feral" far too often, but apart from that it's a good read.

All this talk of quick deliveries...

I ordered a copy two weeks ago from his website, it still hasn't arrived.

If you're considering a purchase with an imminent holiday, maybe not the best option?
