Future splicing workshops

[nod]

Dear Arbtalkers

 

As some of you may know, I've been out of the UK for a while now & return home (& to work) next weekend. Before I left there were a number of enquiries regarding splicing workshops so I thought I'd try to get another ball rolling so the delay is reduced once I return. The success of the double braid workshop, that was run for the first time in February, was such that I'd like to make this a regular part of our training calendar, particularly considering our imminent delivery of CE certified Poison Ivy & the shift that has taken place the use of double braid ropes for climbing.

 

If you are interested in information regarding workshops then please mail me directly at [email protected]. This would be better for me as I won't have any internet connection until I return home.

 

FYI we will be putting together a section on splicing tools on the Treeworker website which will be the most comprehensive collection of arb rope tools available from a single supplier anywhere. This has taken a long time to pull together manufacturers from all over the world so hopefully the interest in rope craft will continue to grow.

 

Best wishes

Nod

Hi nod, hope you're having your self a fine trip.

 

I think there's definately a strong growing trend for big numbers of ropeaholics to learn this skill.

 

& it has to be said that you'r courses are lighting the touch paper that will create the sustainability & legacy that this will need.

 

Great effort, keep up the good work

 

 

btw, spoke with Nicky on Friday over a few bits & pieces that I didn't pick up whilst at Capel.

Forgot to ask her to throw in a reel of splicing twine.

If by chance, you do speak to her before the order goes out, I'd appreciate it if it got included on the order. No worries if it's too late, I'll get Casper to whip with some boot laces or sommit instead

 

cheers
