Skyhuck, attempting to footlock, Bob and PeteMcTree decided to swing him round and round to make him dizzy then tie him to a tree and leave him.

That photo's been doctored,I don't have a BOLD PATCH!

[Dean Lofthouse]

Must have been the way the sun was shining.

 

Oh, hang on a minute, the sun didn't come out all day

[skyhuck]

It was the five mph limit on the tree that caused me the problem,I normally foot lock at 20 mph:icon14:

[18 stoner]

Looks like you all had a great laugh-and learned a bit too!

 

Wish i had been able to come but couldnt due to previous commitment. I WILL be there next time.

 

Nice pics dean, any more?

[Dean Lofthouse]

PeteMcTree has some more photos on his phone, we'll get them posted as soon as we can.

 

Was a little cold, we could do with doing it again when it's a little warmer.

 

Good thing was, everyone had something they either had not done before or were crap at. ie footlocking.

 

There were people there who had been in forestry all their carreer who had never climbed and just wanted to give it a go.

 

There was no piss taking about ability, just plenty of knowledgable people there willing to spend time showing and teaching techniques and offering tips.

 

Peter the squirrel showed us all how to footlock properly and set up lines to have a go.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot, was able to try tackle out that I have been thinking of buying.

 

It would be nice if something like this could be organzied mid country so it wasn't a vast distance for more southerly people to get to.
