Thanks for giving this prominence UKC and well done BMC for producing it. 

Only one point from me (and it’s nothing to do with helmets 🤣) and it is that while there might be space for a few more cars a bit further down the road this is in a clearway so you shouldn’t park in them (anglers very guilty of this too) 

This is highlighted in the BMC Regional Access Database (RAD) 

“There's space for a few more cars further down the road near the bridge, but this is past the clearway sign so parking here is potentially liable to prosecution and is located on a bend,  so too many vehicles can (and has) caused hazardous obstruction”

Thanks, Simon

There's a certain irony in making a strong (entirely sensible) point about 'being aware of loose rock' and then being shown belaying (below said rock) helmet-less :/

Not much respect at the Tor this morning with draws left in Revelations. ☹️

I'll take them out if still there when I next go back on Monday. 

Draw leaving seems to be on the increase this year.

How many times do you think it would take to get people not to leave quickdraws, if you were strip them and then sell them off on ebay (all monies to a worth charity)?

Looks like Molly did all the heavy lifting in that vid. Steve was just decoration in the background!

Steve checking the guide book is about as realistic as a Tory party political broadcast 😆
