Yes mate he has a spiking pole there.

 

I spoke to him today about a zip line and its a no goer, he has explained to me that the forces involved are massive and he doesn't want any accidents.

 

I'm sure if it was somewhere else he would be first on it, but if their was a accident it wouldn't go down well with Lantra etc...

I would be very happy for you all to use our site here on March 21st. As those who came to the show last year will know, we have a couple of excellent oaks for climbers of all abilities, as well as a few other interesting trees and a very splintery pole for spiking. I have no problem at all with novices joining in - we all have to start somewhere, and what better place than in the company of more experienced enthusiasts.

 

I will not in any sense 'police' the event, but this is a training establishment where we obviously use 'best pratice', and all I ask is that our visitors respect this - ie. suitable helmets, loler compliant kit, and sensible behaviour (eg no free climbing!).

 

As Justin has mentioned I would rather that the zip-line idea was experimented on somewhere other than here - the tension applied to a zip-line by a 100kg load is extremely high, which is why steel cables are used. I do not want to be seen as a party-pooper, but I am keen to retain my accident book in its unused state!

 

I look forward to meeting you all on Sunday week.

 

Rich.
