What's a crash mat for?

I'm not too sure I'd want to go to the mountains in the summer - I'd be looking everywhere for some snow :lol:

Ally

Hi AllyG, a "crash mat" is plastic covered mat filled with foam, to be used when "bouldering" or climbing complex routes not very high above the ground, if you fall or slip your mates makes sure you fall onto the crash mat which they should be holding. :shock:

Hi Salski, will ask in the Mt Blanc bar before I order my first beer, just for you :)

Back out to St.G this Friday we are driving down. Son and mate are coming and hope to go climbing,he wants to know if we can tie a crash mat to the top of the car, O/H is not impressed :( Will be getting skis waxed, taxed and ready to ride as we didn't have time for a service, due to swift departure last visit )

This year's British Ski and Board Show is giving visitors the chance to visit some of the World's best ski slopes and resorts when it returns to Birmingham's NEC from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st October. From the Olympic slopes in Canada to the undiscovered corners of India, and from Europe, the popular Swiss Alp resorts to the remote independent chalets, the show promises to be the passport to a fantastic winter holiday.

Holiday companies, tour operators and independent owners will offer exclusive show deals with over 150 exhibitors showcasing the latest fashions, trends and innovations with new product launches as well as all the kit needed from leading manufacturers such as new skis, boards, boots and bindings, etc.

Anyone going?

London was probably abit to far last time and cost a small holiday.

No can't go it's south of Sheffield )

Thanks Ally will do, the problem was that Avis and Budget were both involved in the dispute but the cheque has come from a company called Zodiac Rent A Car :?:

Well its taken nearly three months but we have got back a cheque for £183 from the car hire company thanks to the persistance of O/H :)

Sorry to hear about your accident and I hope you get better soon. I skied Les Gets this year and will go again next season.

We are having no joy from Avis :( so we are taking it up with our credit card company.
