Thanks again Matthias, Ropes now back in Halifax For onward collection. & also Flacks Dog guard. The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

I carry a 2t and 3.5t D-shackle in amongst all the "proper" recovery kit for hard-to-reach recovery eyes on normal 2wd cars. Used them to good effect in the recent snow. Shackles also allow you to double-up a 10m rope if needed I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks Matthias! Happy now. Site donation in progress when I find out how,
Two ropes received yesterday, pristine (not for long). Now I just need to find something to tow, where has the snow gone when you need it ..?
I saw above the suggested use of a shackle to double up the 10m rope for example. Is this acceptable, doubling back a rope under stress through a shackle?2016 D4 Landmark SDV6 (Euro6), Zanzibar (late run D4)
