Blimey - I'm surprised... I thought we all knew who the Blunk was but were just too cool (or embarrassed) to heap praise where it's due..

Andy - Those Vermin articles from the early 90's are classics (ICBJ... the Blunkspot...) ; are they in any of his books?

Scott we love you... you're a legend!

Do I win anything?

Waddage.

Nice pose, like it.

[Blunk]

old school geezer

Deffo an apt description.

Found this over on UKC:

probably at a time when the foot holds weren't very good at all.

Looks like the flake was in much better condition though. As I commented on UKC, love the old skool Scarpa's. Now where's that rock boots thread gone...

[clm]

much smaller yes but a good 6 inches higher up too.  nonone motivated to fix that thing?

[Paul B]

I was under the impression it had been stabilized once already?

[webbo]

[SA Chris]

I think it's still subject to debate. Love the old school external frame rucksack.

Does this make you even more of a legend than Blunk? It's a close call.

[Pantontino]

Hey Webbo, I thought you were a punk back in the day? You look more like Bjorn Borg there, not that that is such a bad thing. Old Bjorn had style.

[Bonjoy]

Al Manson is looking very Nigel Tufnel there

i think the punk thing came later that year 1978.Ive always been abit of a late developer.the embarrassing thing is that i thought it was streaky at first.

I'll admit there is a slight resemblance. If only I could grow a fro like that

[webbo]

   b.j. i now see you said it was the wrong way round.i also forgot to comfirm it was me.i was a handsome chap back in the day.

[Johnny Brown]

Looks like someone knew how to meter back in the day too.
Maybe Bernard has got a point, will be rummaging through old hard drives in 30 years time?

[a dense loner]

i hope so. this is some quality stuff being thrown around. having to do a double take on streaky, class.

[gr]

I believe he stuck the crux after two goes that Sunday

[GCW]

Anyone else find that guy on the left a bit sinister?
