New Font Guide in stock - £25 plus free p&p. We'll post any orders out in UK tomorrow first class too, to try and get them there before the fat dude in the red terry toweling jumpsuit arrives.

Or drop by the office if you're in Sheff

Nice link cofe.  Just a few gripes about the photo of Ben's Reverse you've put on there:

a)  You've printed it backwards
b)  It's obviously tilted to look steeper
c)  It's not in Font.  It's at Stanage.

Apart from that, I look forward to making a purchase.  Good day.

Spot on.  :lol:

Brings a tear to the eye so it does etc etc. I have never even seen the original version of this hallowed tome but have heard only great things about it. My copy of the new one is in the post and I am looking forward to it more than Christmas.

The Mrs doesn't understand why I need another guide to the same place. It's not worth trying to explain.......

We got some of these in our shop at The Climbing Works if you want to buy one - there are very nice indeed. We also got HardXS and The 80's: Birth of the Extreme DVD's. All our mats are back in place now, and there is a new bit of wall to fall off in place too.

Can't believe I've been to Font four times since I bought the guide and not once have I remembered to take it there.

Did notice that the red problems (shown on the maps for reference points) on the Apremont section are out of synch with the purple guide.
