&lt;P&gt;I am wondering it there is anyone out there who&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Can lend me some trad gear (cams wires hexes etc)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Wants to come along&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Has some experience in the area and more experience than me&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Has any words of wisdom&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is a very loose plan at the moment and even if it doesn’t happen this weekend, I would be really keen to make my way up there at some stage.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Flick us and email using the contact button if you are keen&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Craig Scott&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
