We've had a few shotting / stret-pegging threads lately. When I was a kid I was taught stret-pegging and laying on but for a weight we used lead wire. I think it was actually lead solder wire, about 1.5mm dia. The wire would be coiled around a matchstick (not too tight or you couldn't get it out) and so form a coil, half or even an inch long. These coils were so easy to interchange, allowing you to switch from method to method really easily when wandering a river. I would like to start using this wire again, but where can I get some? I saw a spool in my local Homebase recently but there's no way I'm paying their £18 for it! SOlder is not really needed, just lead wire. So Angels, your task (should you choose to accept it) (and mixing my 70's TV shows) is to tell me where I can get a supply of lead wire at a sensible price.
