Myself, Vikki and JohnO popped to NHS tonight for a bit of SRT, but we could only go as far as the 3rd platform.

The white rope just beyond the 3rd platform has completely frayed around the entire outer sheath so needless to say we didn't go down. I'm no expert but myself and Vikki are of the opinion the rope needs changing.

To be honest, none of the rope in there looks that nice.
The trees have ears, the hills have eyes. Trust no one... but the sheep.
