We used to mow a bank like that at a school when I was a lad on the gardens. We used to hang the Flymo on a long rope and swing it side to side and pull it in at the same time. It looked precarious but it was the standard method and we only did it when the kids were all inside.

thats a grivel monta rosa crampon, the state its in makes me feel a bit ill.

think i might need to polish my ice axe to stop the rocking.

 

They clean up well :biggrin:

 

Tbh, whilst using them I always wonder how uncomfy it must be to be on the toe spikes for any length of time, you must have to have calf muscles like Arnie

Forgot to say I got them resoled so hopefully get some more time out of them

 

Where did you get them resoled. I took mine into timpsons in Hudds and he reckoned that they can't do it. Be nice to get them redone for winter cos I was just about to buy new ones but the uppers will prob do another 3 yrs!!

There's a cobblers on the high street in brighouse mate, he said as long as there's enough rubber, he can resole them, cost me £20

 

At £240 a pair I want 20 years out of them Mozza :lol:

Yorkshire folk, Jesus. Just buy new ones James, you're full of cash!

 

Ha ha. Cash is for counting, not for spending.

When your little one becomes a bigger one (your kid, that is) you will try to save the pennies too. And at 24000 pennies I'd rather only spend 2000!!

I've got better things to spend money on. Boots are important but Zermats are great and mine will last for ages more as long as I can grip to the floor! :-)

Cheers Dean.

I think with a £220 saving I'll get some nice new gadgets or something. :-)
