• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

This is remarkable!!!

I saw that on the news earlier, looks fantastic, but just wait until Health and Safety get to grips with it.
 
Brilliant application for this technology. Must be pretty hard to master though, and in windy and cloudy conditions you'd have to be a nutter to use it. Great idea though and if it saves 1 life it's worth it.
 
They've been around for a while, they cost about a quarter of a million each. Personally if people are daft enough to climb peaks, unprepared, i'd leave them up there :D

Got to say Monty here I agree with you. All very well for someone to put his own life at risk just to climb a mountain but what about those who have to go and rescue them? Selfish buggers I say.
 
What could possibly go wrong

Something fast and hard to control in the lake district

I'm thinking Donald Campbell

I've known experienced, well prepared people who've gotten into problems through no fault of their own climbing so leaving them there may be a bit harsh.

The dozy sods who get themselves trapped on the end of Worm's Head despite signs everywhere warning them are another matter. If it's a warm dry day feel free to leave them there until the tide goes out.
