Hey Wanderer100 thanks for taking the to post some kind feedback and the Devil's Slide, amongst all the other amazing climbing on offer on the magical Lundy Island is well making the effort to get the MS Oldenberg ferry over!

Incidentally I only stumbled across this other thread about my wee video recently so I guess for the sake of completeness here it is:

Hi Dave

I posted the other thread, hope you don't mind. It's really nice to see such high quality films being made about UK routes in grades that most people can have a go at. Really nice pieces of film making.

Hi GP many thanks for your kind words and as Oscar Wilde is reputed to have said, all publicity is good publicity! My next video is nearly finished so look out for the Armorican One Armed Bandit coming soon...

In reply to Jimbo C:


Thanks a million Jimbo! As well as being a class act and still a master of balance, Johnny was great fun to hang out and work with on Lundy Island!
