Its simple - these and the chalkbucket post look suspiciously like deliberate attempts at a bit of viral marketing. You might well be innocent and unconnected but you're not helped by the fact it took an incredibly simple search to find out that its out today. So there's the answer and an amazing coincidence!

cheers for that, someone said it might be very soon, heading down there for a weekend soon and thought it could be worth checking out the area.

Either that's one amazing piece of chutzpah or you really are completely innocent.

Well he has posted exactly the same question on UKC.

Personally I'd have been asking whoever I heard the rumor from in the first place, but then I'm weird like that.   :geek:

On a related note, does anyone know where I can buy Andy Kirkpatrick's new book Cold Wars?

With problems as highball as those, it gives their pads a ringing endorsement. Sign me up!

It covers in detail, the 2 known venues and 5 "new" locations, with over 70 problems and as many black & white photos. It's printed on recycled paper and is reproduced at a pocket friendly £6.99 + £1.50 post and packing.

Quote from: Ru, Cofe & Jonjon
Paperback (488pp) £25.00
This guide features over 3,300 boulder problems on over 70 crags, both major and minor

10pence per problem versus 0.75pence?

Cotswold Guide sounds good.

But does anyone know where I could get something more selective. I'm looking for no more than 3,200 problems on 180 venues. I'm in no hurry. !2th December would do.

Whats that saying, "There's no such thing as bad press" or similar?  :whistle:

(And rather than being in "the log pile", shouldn't this be in "the spam pile"?)

Well...

I suppose I do, now, know about the guide(s).

So, no; no such thing...
