Congratulations to Rob on completing the roof project at White Goods. Looks like "Ready Steady Hook" is about D10

With four guys tring the route, clip sticks and competition boots, it was like continental dry tooling - apart from the weather !

Dave has been busy down at White Goods and has bolted three more lines in the new Kitchen Garden area. See 'articles' for the topo. Thanks for your efforts Dave.

 Received my Triop comp boots the other day and am looking forward to trying them. There are a few pairs of them in the country now so look forward to some reviews coming up. They are about a third of the price of other comp boots - lets see how they perform. First impressions ? Probably the longest heel spur in the world ! Rob has posted some thoughts on his blog and has already taken the hacksaw to his pair see http://font8a.blogspot.com/2008/02/geek.html

Just back from the Glenmore Lodge drytooling fest. Excellent day out - fun comp, Dave MaCleod masterclass and a good atmosphere.
