hi neil. i was merely wondering if carrots were still being placed,they've always struck me as an ideal compromise to the neccessity for blots on blank walls. as for the money, i'd love to help but i've an immigration lawyer to feed and those buggers eat 24/7. but i do have a drill, i put bolts in as part of my job andif you want practical help get in touch. anyone that knows me would piss themselves at the the irony should i be deported for bolting in national parks but i'm up for the youies [ there's a pin at Lust Buttress for starters] and the other melbourne crags. i'm behind what your doing but i've been debating these issues since elements of my generation wanted to bolt everything, so i'm not gonna stop now. and as for too old and too english you want me to tell steve monks and andy pollit that they're out of the cauldron,or will you do it.? lets get out,right the wrongs, debate the grey areas and have fun. maybe you and i should start at lodden.
