Canal carp passing the lock! Unseen footage by @pat__nash_benelux of a carp moving from stretch to stretch through the canal locks. When a carp turned up four locks away in the 90s we always thought it was stolen by the locals from that stretch but now we now better and just simply know they move through the locks themselves, only to return later. Clever animals for sure! #monkeyclimber #monkeyclimbermagazine #canallife⚓️ View this post on Instagram A post shared by Monkey Climber magazine (@monkeyclimbermagazine)

Loads of our parcels still going to the UK, which means a lot to us as traditionally everything we bought as kids came from the UK... Since Brexit shipping costs have gone up though, from 10 to 25 euros per parcel currently of which we charge 15 to the customer and take 10 ourselves. Also, not always but likely, when a parcel enters the UK there's a chance customs will charge you taxes and VAT. There is nothing we can do about this unfortunately but yesterday a lady accused us of misleading, etc. hence this post. Luckily most of you...

Some (probably most) of today's generation of anglers won't know where we got our name from. Well, not from George Orwell's 1984 masterpiece but from these indicators as published in the same year too, nearly forty years ago now. OG Monkey Climbers, those where the days. Kindly sent to us by a friend.

Rolled some batches of 10mm yellow pop ups for personal use on my latest public French trip, showed these on Insta stories and there was a lot of interest immediately.
