Payment sent, many thanks!

Looks interesting Tony. One question: do you think the lack of suitable kit in the early days was a real restraint or did they just go for it anyway? Mallory went to climb everest simply "becasue it was there". I love that spirit. I'm hoping you will say they went for it it anyway in a very...

The guy made a very costly mistake. I don't condone it. I wish he'd assimilated the risks properly and acted accordingly. And yes the mountain rescue are brave men and women who assume an inordinate amount of risk saving lives. But the two are not mutually exclusive; and the slightly sinister...

Are we actually condemning this guy for not knowing enough to avoid such a tragedy? What a completely heartless, sad, narrow-minded thread.

Yes, sure, I will post pics when I get it. Chris

Interesting comments. Don't want this to descend into a Woodlore slagging session though with hindsight some of that is inevitable I guess. I'm going to get it and stick it in a drawer for a while whilst I make up my mind what to do with it. I am not so keen to sell it on because it is a classic...

Lovely knife, good luck with the sale.

Have you seen the Woodland Trust British Tree Guide web site? Very good. Here is the link to the Sweet Chestnut entry. See the human uses section at the bottom. I'm a fan of this tree! I am just about to plant 450 trees in a 4 acre edible forest garden along the lines of Robert Hart and Martin...

Have to agree with the consensus... I have one of the seconds from last year, ergonomically speaking it's fixed blade nirvana or darn close, and this one looks better. But shame about the UK price. Being Spyderco, I have no doubt at all about the quality. The sheath is ugly but I have found the...

Got this last week from Woodlore TBH I'd forgotten I might be even close to the top of the list as it has been something like 6 years of waiting, I kind of thought they'd forgotten about me and have in the meantime been collecting a few sharps. And the price has gone up a lot. I think a...

Taking it to PM. Thanks.

Good catch, second dibs...

Any idea where one could find out which schools have such teachers and what sort of courses they run? Chris

I've been drinking Pu'er - from these people, in teabags - for a while. Started on a trip to Beijing a while back and then found some here in the supermarket although they don't always have it in. I really like it. 1 tea bag can keep going for several cups and as the tea gets lighter the flavour...

GBs can be a real pig to sort out, very time consuming and really quite stressful at times, so I think this is a great idea. I have added my name to the list.

Money sent, apologies for delay. Chris

Like that vid a lot :) Some of the journals on CGOAB are great reading. One of the best sites anywhere on the 'net IMO. Chris

I spent several years living within easy striking distance of the Jura. It's a magical area although not immune to many of the usual environmental issues - the trout streams (there are several) are a shadow of their former selves. Mind you, for a summer hike, or a winter cross country skiing...
