This year I may even go so far as to laminate these sheets like I did for some of the welsh winter topos I used a few months back.<br />(Laminators are ace by the way)<br /><br />Normally though, I don't tend to find the book is too much of a hindrance when cragging, it's also less likely to blow away!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109187629189983272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155442987102316475.post-28218134182043076142010-04-28T10:16:30.566+01:002010-04-28T10:16:30.566+01:00I pretty much always carry the guide book on route...I pretty much always carry the guide book on route because I don't want to get lost. Guidebook covers a truely awesome invention!<br /><br />However if you've got the time and you've planned ahead I find that photo copied guidebook pages are lighter easier to stuff in a pocket.<br /><br />Well lighter than the North Wales guide by any means!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931745298839074976noreply@blogger.com
