For those wanting to try this for the first time then you can't go far wrong using the "velcro" straps which are sold in diy stores here in UK. They make stretchy ones as well as ordinary straps and each one is self fastening so couldn't be easier to use.

They are also brill for when you go away from home and don't want to traipse loads of rope around with you! Fit into a small make up bag!
