Bit of a different one for tip of the week this time.

As I am taking a bit of a holiday there will be no tip or thought for the week next week, therefore I thought I would leave you with a bit of a competition.

A roll of duct tape is a staple in the world of outdoor sports and can be used to (attempt) fix virtually anything – I have used it for everything from temporary patches on jackets, kayaks and many other things all the way through to taping the bottom of my caving suit to my wellies in a futile attempt to keep my feet dry.

As the old saying goes – if you can’t fix it with duct tape, you haven’t used enough.

Your competition for the week is to email me (graham.simpson@in2venture.com) or tweet me (@in2venture) your most genius outdoor uses of duct tape.

There will be a no expense spared (or should that be no expense spent?) prize – so get emailing and tweeting.
