I don't think I know that one, and haven't caved in the Dales for a few years but have visited most of the classics. I'm not overly fond of ropework to be honest !
What are you other hobbies?

Its included in the Derbyshire area even though it's in Staffordshire. I did very little in Yorkshire caving areas.

Ah yes, I realised after typing that I'd got muddled up. Only done P8, Peak and a couple of others in Derbyshire. Most of my caving has been in South Wales plus a semi annual European trip most years, though not for a while

I used to go caving in South Wales when I was in university (Swansea). And one of our Morris dancers is still a caver, a member of the Chelsea Caving society even though he lives in Swansea, and also a member of the South Wales Cave Rescue team.

I'm into trance and progressive trance. I have about 600 records, decks and a mixer. I rarely buy records any more. But I do still get on the decks for a mix every now and again.

As someone who's sort of retired (I have a very small business doing portable appliance testing, and if they can fix my back, I'll certainly try and be a gigging musician again), I mess with computers and read a fair bit.

I should add, that as a corollary of collecting motor racing memorabilia and maintaining an archive, I've also become reasonably proficient in restoring photographs. It's actually rather addictive in a strange sort of way.

If I hadn't just bought my new Colnago, I could have bought this for the amp in my hifi:

I can just imagine Vickster spitting out her tea when she opens that link.

Oh hell no. Unless your hifi amp is pulling well north of 500W, there's not even the possibility of that making a difference. My Markbass bass amp was rated at 500W RMS output flat out. That sort of thing does require a decent mains lead, but that's all. This hifi overkill is sheerest twaddle, not backed up by any physics whatever.

I was going through boxes of papers after my dad died and I found a very tatty old picture of him when he was working in bomb disposal during WWII, around the time that he met my mum. The picture was folded, torn and covered in white paint. I took it home with me, scanned it, then I set about restoring it. After the restoration, I had a new print made and framed it. I took the picture down on my next visit to my mum and presented it to her. She was really touched...
Unfortunately, I no longer have the original picture. Some of the restoration was simply a case of disguising the damage. In the case of the circular plate on the central bomb (just above head height) the damage was so severe that it pretty much had to be painted in.

Well, you know what gets said about fools and money...
I'd get a top-of-the-range DSLR and some decent glass for that.
