WTB climbing tape or similar - help

[SimonM]

I have just taken delivery of my GB hammock (thanks Magikelly) and none of my local outdoor shops stocks climbing tape, for hanging it with.

Can anyone suggest a good on line supplier please.....

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Hi Simon,
where in East Lancashire are you? Hitch n Hike in the Peak District do climbing tape on the roll (I bought some for my hammock) & they do have a web-shop although I'm not sure whether this is listed.
Cheers,

Rang Hitch N Hike. They have 19mm tape in stock but it is a bit pricey for me at £1.79 a metre + P&P.

Have just been to B & Q to buy some new blades for the HoverMower, and saw some ratchet tie downs. £5.49 each for a 5m strap at 550kg breaking strain. I bought two and have cut off the ratchet gadget, leaving me with 10m of tape.

Just need to get some carabiners tomorrow and I'm set.

Needlesports in the lakes do alot of climbing kit, google them and you'll find their site, very reasonable and knowledgeable staff.
