I guess, so many times, it happens too fast, you trade your passion for glory. It’s important that you don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive

It’s a shame it has to be kept secret as I guess (pray/hope) those who are adding the bolts + access ropes are just unaware and having the information out there might prevent someone doing it again? (I obviously understand why we are not naming the area/route)
I didn’t get a chance to see the UKC thread but hopefully at least the thread creator and the recent ascentionists have been told, I guess they are the people most likely to have reinstated the via ferrata?

I know it sounds obvious, but i think there's an app for that.
You can download lightmeter apps, don't think they are very accurate, but could be a starter point, and print film is reasonably forgiving for a stop or 2 of exposure either way? Otherwise there will be tables on line for recommended exposures.
I do have a small handheld lightmeter in a leather case that I was given lying in a box somewhere, must be at least 70 years old. I could send it if it was any use? (and I could find it.....)

What perspectives do you expect to get? Given the access sensitivities, it’s a bit short sighted to do this. I would really like to do one of the routes in question. If climbing there gets banned I would be pretty peeved.
Unfortunately people are also publicising it (positively) on socials. Ignorance is bliss?

Wed - AM as usual; PM back work, push ups.
Thu - AM as usual; PM thruster and Croc Rows, mumble...
Fri - farmer's, pull ups, Lattice edge mixed grips.
Sat - boxing bag.
Sun - weights. Tired.

In this instance placing new bolts and leaving ropes overnight has the potential to cause access problems. As a one off it might go unnoticed but it sounds like this one has got quite popular. I'm pretty sure it's not the sort of new normal that will go unnoticed for long.
Placing of unauthorised bolts two years ago was reported to the owner and created considerable headaches. As well as having to meet the owner on site to calm the waters, I had to take a day out to remove the hangers (after another UKBer had already wasted a day doing the same thing 6 months earlier, only for the bolts to re-appear).
It would be good if this didn't carry on here.

M - Yoga. Sub max hangs.
T - Brief elbow physio am. Dropped car off for MOT. Run back 5km, in time to take over looking after kids before wife started work at 9. Good way to start day and running in the morning seems so much more appealing in this weather. Run back in afternoon to pick up car, felt like getting two runs in as a bit of a freebie.
Evening, repeaters 7 on 3 x6 reps x1 set.
W - Yoga.
T - Elbow physio, inc one arm locks. Yoga
F - 10k run. Yoga.
S - Yoga. Repeaters. 7 on 3 off, 5.5 sets I think.
S - Yoga.

My Mum recently dug out and brought up to Manchester her Mum's old Kodak Six-16 camera, a lovely art deco folding camera from the mid 30s. Having done a little research despite Kodak 616 film no longer being available I can get a conversion kit that will allow me to use 120 film, which seem pretty readily available in quite a few flavors.
So, I have decided I would like to at least manage to take a portrait of mum and her two granddaughters with it. I have checked the bellows and there appears to be no splits or holes. What else do I need to check? The lenses don't appear to have any visible mold, but might be a little "cloudy"? The viewfinder was a little "cloudy" but scrubbed up well with a les cloth, the main lens is a little harder to clean that way?
Also:
- Does anyone recommend a film that is forgiving to a "beginner" in these things?
- Where should I get the film developed?
- Does anyone know a crib sheet or can help with exposures? It has a 126mm f 6.3 Kodak Anastigmat lens with apertures of f/32, 22, 16, 11 and 8 with speed of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100*. I understand how aperture, shutter speed and film speed work together but have now idea where to start with this set up. f6.3 or f8 @ 1/50 with 400 film for a "normal day" outside?
Any help/advice etc much appreciated.
*plus bulb and time but I shalln't be touching those!

Thanks remus.
Worth putting on backburner if you can grab one, they are out of full body harnesses surprisingly fast.
