Presumably no one is afraid of dogs....? Speak up now! I'm going to say no more now though just to be on the safe side

You might still be on your own there! What are the long distance travellers intending to do? Anyone want to camp with Roy...?

Hey Simon - I won't be able to make it over for this in the end which is a shame. Hope it's a good day for all. Nice one for organising it.

Never mind Paul, next time

We have quite a few novices without any gear coming along for the day which is absolutely fine, but collectively we're struggling to muster up some spare harnesses to borrow for the day. Ropes etc no problem.

With that in mind, if anyone who does not yet have a harness has the funds to get one in the meantime it would be worth doing, just means everyone will get more climbing time.

I noticed that honey's are selling off the Petzl aveo for just over 80 quid plus vat, it having been recently replaced.

A friend has one and they're a nice straightforward lightweight sit harness.

Alternatively a cheap and cheerful rock climbing harness will do.

If you can't get hold of anything please don't worry, we'll make it work whatever happens

How's that? I also wanted a harness and belay so might as well buy one!

 

What about sizes, are they adjustable to fit most people PR should I buy a specific size, eg small, medium?

I know even less about sport harnesses than I do work positioning ones so I can't really help you on that I'm afraid Jack

In terms of tree climbing, you're hanging in it to climb ddrt so you want something fairly comfy, which sport harnesses aren't really, but to stop you hitting the deck it will be just fine. In terms of sizes, my son has a size zero Petzl Aspir which has loads of adjustment in it. Can you get across to go outdoors to try some on?

Just been down countrywide. They are doing a smallholding and machinery event 29th march for a week. 20% off stihl stuff. Inc some chainsaws apparently. Also 15% of training ???
