is it true? tell me its true panton.....

[Doylo]

According to my spies in the homeland it is in fact in V12 outdoor. All seems a bit hush hush to me. Any of the head honchos wanna spill the beans?

Well, I aint a honcho, but it had better be in the shop, or else i was sold an mirage yesterday over the phone.

Not received it yet, but hopefully it will arrive on my doormat in the next day or two.

I can't wait.. Time to book some time off work

[Bubba]

Amazingly, I can't find it on the V12 Outdoor website!

Sold out already  :wink:

[mireeves]

Si you were right this is the bench mark guide.

Quality and Querkiness. Spent all last night reading it could I just couldn't put it down.

Now I just can't wait to get out and use the damn thing

[Huffy]

What are the photos like Gruff?

[Doylo]

Ahhh i can't stand this, i want one! Everyones prancing round Wales with the new guide an i'm stuck in a dingy room in S6 trying to write thousands of words on the most boring thing in the world.

Nice 1 Si, sounds like all your hard work has paid off. Can't wait to get my mitts on it!

I have it in my hands this very moment, had the pleasure witnessing the delivery van at V12 yesterday afternoon, unloading a considrable number of Panton's pride and joy.

Good effort Si, have already had two brilliant days out with this bad boy, and it's a fine piece of work.

Save some skin for next week, i'm gonna be like a dog with six cocks (although knowing my luck its gonna piss down for 3 weeks!)

[mark]

Just ordered one from V12.

Congratulations Simon. Does this guidebook count as your third child? Gestation was certainly long enough!

[Rockman]

This is just not fair

The guide finally came out, the day after I left wales for easter..

Had to order my copy for postal delivery, and I bet that takes a while to get here.

Everyones saying the guide is the dogs bollox, and I can't comment yet.

Im so annoyed.

[dave]

more importantly, is the ukb advert in there?

[dave]

hot dog!

[Huffy]

Hey lad,
Still at Lush aye, back home for a couple of months after a quick trip to font first. Maybe we can finally go climb the big red button! :D

Take it easy//Huffy

[Pantontino]

Gents (and ladies too), I'm starting to crank up the distribution and it will be appearing in all the important climbing shops very shortly. Outside in Hathersage should have it today and you will be able to get signed copies at the Outdoors Show (Birmingham NEC) Fri-Sun this coming weekend on the V12 Outdoor stand (I'll be hovering between here and the Snowdonia-Active stand).

I still can't believe it's finally here - it felt so strange when I picked up the first copy, a very surreal moment.

Gruff and Ryan were already there making the first purchases when I turned up at the shop, and it has been flying out the door ever since, so I'm told (I've been away since Monday night on a secret Stone Circles mission).

Go get them slopes, amigos!

Hwyl, Simon.

[Greg C]

I, like Mark, spent last night reading through it and it truely is excellent well writen informative and silky smooth mmmmm!  

Get em while there hot!

[Doylo]

Outside in Hathersage should have it today

I'm on the mo fo!

Thats my boys! Keen as mustard!

[Stu Littlefair]

Bloody Nora.

Ordered it on the phone at about 1pm yesterday, woke up to a shiny package in my box this morning. How's that for service!

Cheers to whoever was onshift at V12 yesterday. Simon, it is a thing of beauty. I think I'll use it to learn welsh.

[dave]

whats the damage plus P&P from V12 then? i don't know if i can wait till i'm in snatch/the edge.

[Stu Littlefair]

I didn't even think to look at the receipt?!! Too busy flipping straight to the graded list at the back, soul-less grade whore that I am.

I do know that the V12 lot say free delivery on their website, so you can't go wrong. Faster than a speeding badger too.

Might take the afternoon off, run a hot bath and read the guide a bit more.

[Rockman]

Well what can I say,

I blame mr Panton for the lack of work I have manage to get done this morning.

There was a bang on the door at 7am this morning, and I knew there could only be one reason.. Yup, my friendly postman was trying to get a copy of the guide through the postbox with little luck.

Anyway, spent the rest of the day so far planning the next outing(s) to north wales.

Love the guide, the photos are smashing, as are the maps, as are.. oh sod it, the whole thing is smashing... It's even better than the pre-print copy that was in outdoors which was wicked anyway.

as for P&P I paid £5 (according to my reciept) to have two copies sent to me first class, 2nd class for two copies was about £3.5, so if people are after one copy then it should be even cheaper than that. (obviously that was from outdoors).

See you all in north wales (playing spot who doesn't have the guide).

[Adam Lincoln]

Is it available on Outside website or just over the phone?

[dave]
