Story

Thanks so much for donating to my Fundraiser for the Great North Air Ambulance Service in exchange for a rope and rock door stop or a dog tug/throw

I've been passing lockdown by upcycling old climbing ropes. So if you have a problem with wind at home (slamming doors?) here's your answer. A hand crafted rope and stone door stop.

Doorstops...The weight is provided by 300 million* year old specially selected Cumbrian rock and the authentic artisan look is achieved from a hand crafted knot of retired climbing rope, previously used on some of the classic hard climbs in the Lake District..
Suggested donation £9

Dog tugs...hand tied rope dog toys/throws. Suggested donation £4

* approximately

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. Their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre. The charity responded to 1,640 call outs last year* alone, via their helicopter and emergency response vehicles, where they performed treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death.
