Falling down a cliff is like being in a concrete mixer
All the corners get knocked off

The voice of experience

In fiordland, first period last month, carried mine round my neck tucked down my shirt. I was doing a bit of vertical walking, requiring both hands. The clip on the lanyard came undone as I reached up, and the plb dropped back down where I had come from. Still the best way to carry it, just need a better lanyard with no clips or buckles.
