Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Where to hire avi kit in Alpe D'Huez? / borrowing in London :)

 Poster: A snowHead

Hi

Does anyone know a decent shop that hires out avi kit in Alpe D'Huez? Alternatively (and I've left this late as I depart for the north tomorrow evening - 21st), is there anyone based in London who'd lend me theirs for a few bits of paper with the Queen's head on?

Cheers

SSB

Sarenne II (in the row of shops near the DMC) would be worth trying - they have a decent selection of touring kit and if it is still run by the same guy is pretty clued up

i'll lend you my old F1 which is held together with duct tape but still seems to work. in fact i'd sell it to you for not very much - you can send it off to Ortovox and they will replace the cover and do a full test for something like £60

or if you want something a bit less ghetto, you could try this:

you can pick up from Gerrards Cross

There's a place near the swimming pool, with end of the pool to your right up the hill a bit and turn left then it's on your right.

That's the best I can do I'm afraid, can't remember the name. I hired stuff there after a mix up meant my bag got left behind one day, they were pretty cheap and the stuff was fine.

When I tried a couple of years ago, I couldn't find anyone...I hope Swirly or Arno are right.

Thanks guys, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a BCA Tracker/shovel/probe from FaceWest for delivery to my folks - hopefully it'll arrive before we depart on the 27th Neutral

Sideshow_Bob, Facewest are pretty good on despatching stuff. I ordered from them the weekend before last and it arrived on Wednesday using their standard free delivery.

If it doesn't arrive I can lend you a set if your up in Manchester way over Christmas, as long as I get it back for the Birthday bash. snowHead

livetoski, kicking myself now, I knew there was another place that did packages but couldn't remember who or where it was. If I'd remembered I'd have ordered from you Embarassed

Facewest came through in the end, delivered to my parents by lunchtime today. Thanks for all the offers though, much appreciated and will be buying people beers in return at some point.
