Am I right in guessing it's all bone now? May well head up tomorrow night

You might find the chronic steepage an issue.

Just be careful of the nesting serp, it's been in the top break for 10 days now, and its not responding yet to calls to come down.

It's coming down with it's tail between it's legs every time it gets to the high break.
Off for some repeat humiliation shortly.

I'd heard the nesting serp was due to be classed an endangered species by the RSBP ;D

You'd have got a very different quality of beta if I'd read that prior to seeing you today :spank:

Went last night and the entire crag was gopping - it hadn't rained much so it must've been in the mist in the morning. I suspect it might be similar today.

To be fair Ads, the bit where it says «  Today at 18:21:38 » is a bit of a clue for those short of a calendar. ;D

Though in a few days it will only show a date. Hence someone might need to check what date it was.

Just wondering, i know the BMC paid a fortune for the Longridge fence, its only a year and it starting to look a bit worse for wear, and fairly wobbly in parts. Id complain to the suppliers if id forked out what they have for it! So who's head of the longridge dept at the bmc?

Probably because everyone sits on it?

Les is still the Lancs area rep, probably your first port of call.  les.ainsworth@synergy-ergs.com
