To be fair, you have to move quite slowly (or stop altogether) to refer to them, fozzy. May not be your thing? :-)

Maybe there’s a business opportunity for a Wainwright guidebook you can attach to your thumb?

DT - I don't have any orienteering books either :-O

(mainly because apart from Carol McNeil's one, I'm not sure there are many - although Steve Birkinshaw's might include a bit of orienteering?)

Um - the oracle for identifying Wainwright editions is Chris Butterfield as Ros alluded to earlier. He's only on FB at the moment, but his website is (apparently) nearly ready to go, so his archive information will be available to all. I've been following him on FB for some time and he really does take obsession/OCD to the next level, no doubting his knowledge though and I'm sure a post on that page will get you the answer.

Morning all,

Look - I apologise for my post the other day regarding the Crinkles, I was just looking for a bit of positive affirmation as to my thinking instead of a rather negative few posts about the sanctity (or not) of the Wainwrights. Sorry about that, perhaps I should have known better.
