[Chopper-Gooders]

Going to go to france either by plane or train, and need to get my climbing gear

of what i have to do?

On Eurostar the saw has to have the guidebar & chain taken off and packed separately. Absolutely no fuel or oil in the saw (no petrol or oil containers are allowed - but sachets of 2 stroke are okay). All other equipment should be fine.

 

Have been told on a plane it is the same, but the saw and equipment need to be in a separate bag for storage in hold.

That's not true on a plane. No petrol powered tools allowed on the flight (unless at the Captains discretion!). Not in the cabin or in the cargo holds.

Old Mill Trees - thats good to know, just as well I haven't attempted it. Unless regulations have changed since sept' last year (no info to say otherwise on website) then Eurostar info is tried and tested and the weight restrictions allow a lot more than any plane anyhow.
