Your right about the Priestman Fred :thumbup:

This edge protection ones a funny one nowadays , their's miles of quaysides and piers in the country with no protection at all and public running around. But when its part of a 'site' we've got to have full rails and safety boats !

Hello.
A few photos I dug out, some are my own gear, and some were taken at Machen, a local quarry, plus one off the net.

hello fred.
pardon my ignorance,is there a fault with the camera as it appears there is a reverse image on the 22 drop ball.also i think your 195 is in fact a 100 RB,195s had a round muckpole not racking arms as shown.as always i am open to correction.
