...Hi, Having doing hillwalking and low grade rock climbing for a number of years i though i would take the plunge into winter walking. Last year i bought myself a pair of Grivel G10 crampons and the above axe. The axe is 60cm in length with a wrist lensh on the shaft. The axe head is study and joined to shaft with an eyelet rivet, the same as most axes of this type. The shaft of the axe sounds hollow giving it it's light weight. This does not mean that it is weak, as I used it once as as a hanhold, jaming the axe horizontal across the top of two boulders and hauling myself up on it, the shaft did not bend and their is no sign of cracking.

...I am reviewing hotbuttered bodyboards. 3 summers ago my parents brought me what i now realise is a holiday maker bodyboard. since then i have been getting progresivly better so i decided to invest money i a new board. my parents went halves with me on a new board and brought a hotbuttered vee in the sales for about £120. This blew most of my birthday money so was unable to put a leash in it. i brought me some wax though and went on it on the same day. Instantly i could feel the difference. I grabbed the waves that came and hung on to all the waves that i caught. i stuck to the board excellently. i am still saving for a leash but i dont care as the board has never slipped out of my hands because of the TRS which is the tappered rail system that alows your to grip the rail alot better than before which means turns can be sharper...
