V generous but aren't you being a bit testy? I've taken a belay off persons who I don't know - and many of those will have been complete debutants. I reckon to get a feel for a persons competence fairly quickly, but have frequently committed to a trial fall a couple of metres above ground. When lowering off you always have the backup of catching your own slack rope.

Where at? Sheffield somewhere? If so it might have been me, although I can't ever remember being described as a lovely chap, so it's looking unlikely.

I didn't offer to belay for cake, but I do offer to cook for a climb.

What, as in you cook while everyone else climbs? That sounds ideal, what are you doing this weekend?

I misread this and was scandalised. I thought you were offering cock for climb!

Well, if I were to accept cock for a climb my one true love may cry...the offer of cooking is tempting as my cooking skills are questionable...but I now have a couple of people who would like to take a CWA and belay for me. Thankyou for the interest...was really just trying to trace the guy who offered in my original post a few weeks ago.

Are you seriously offering to pay for someone's CWA training (£100-150), assessment (£100) and the first aid training (£100) they need before they can be assessed, just so they can belay for you. Especially as they should be competent a belayer before before they present for training?

Anybody fancy funding a wee MIA for me, honest I'd take you out climbing!!!

I suspect not. (Though if you are, Climbyclaudie - get a grip!)
The vibe I'm getting is that the OP is looking for volunteers to work with groups of kids or sommat.
