Always inventing stuff – Mark Vallance

Tuesday, 24th April 2018

So sad to hear that Mark Vallance has passed away. He was a good friend, and him being “the” guy that brought us cams, i.e. “Friends”, we all owe him at least a moment of thanks. Of course not only did he transform most climber’s lives but he helped transform the BMC and the CC …

Caravan, Camping, and Motorhome Show at the NEC

Thursday, 22nd February 2018

We’d snagged some complimentary tickets to the Caravan, Camping, and Motorhome Show at the NEC, and all we had to do for them was promise to write a report about the show on this site. Ha, as if that wasn’t going to happen! 😉 This is exactly the sort of thing we love to write …
