Ah, it's WH that did it before. I think I just accused UKC of repeating the same joke from previous years :lol:

One of their previous ones must have been introducing a permit system to climb the In Pinn - got them mixed up.

Well if it is true (which is zero chance) then at least the guide will take you to the top, instead of 99% to the top before telling you you cant go any further :lol:

Even if it's 2nd hand, I prefer it to The Grauniad version "Clarkson goes green". I was one third through and thinking "Surely Clarkson can afford a better reputation manager than this one, look at the stuff this one thinks he should say!!!" when it clicked.
