  1. Does anyone follow any sort of healthy eating regime? I do try to but always find i cant get enough energy in the day. I'll find i eat till im too bloated to climb to get enough energy and always end up going back to mars bars and the like.
  2. How many of you use a floating anchor point off of your footlock access line? what set up do you use? on the odd occassion ive done this i've tied an alpine butterfly in each leg of the footlock line and clipped a krab to each then run my Ddrt through this. this set up is retrieivable from the ground which is a big plus.
  3. they are ok jersey girl, but they kinda portray a bit of a cowboy image over here if u know what i mean by that

  6. yes but the roots spanning under the arbtalk more
  7. i dont have printed t-shirts, i definetly wouldnt wear them when working for another company though if i did.
  8. thanks i keep debating over wether to get it done or not. problem is at the moment about 80% of my work is freelance climbing and it wouldnt go down too well if i turned up on other peoples job sites in a sign written truck. im looking at getting a new truck, 6.5t for arb work, i might get that printed and keep the ldv for freelance work.
  9. i wonder if the tree should be moved downwards so the crown is nearer to the A, then have some roots coming underneath the name aswell

  11. horrible reduction on a lime tree, this was saturday mornings job
  12. i had a fantastic weekend. i worked saturday morning, got home at 1, i was sitting having a cup of tea when my wife suggested we go camping for the night. 30 minutes later we were off. we randomly headed towards cromer, about 10 miles away the car started coughing and spluttering which got me wound up to start, then when we arrive it turns out its carnival week and everywheres booked up, so after about 3 hours diving around looing for somewhere to stay we give up and decide to get get something to eat then head home. on the way back we actually find a camp site so pitch for the night before having to head back out again in out ever detriorating car in search of baby formulae(cos we're THAT organized) this morning we get up, pack the tent and head in to cromer for hopefully a half decent day to make up for yesterday. after being at cromer for all of 30 minutes i lost a filling and part of the tooth too so i knew things were going to be just as great today if not better!! we get the AA to come out before we leave as we're worried about making things worse. fair do's they turned up in 5 minutes flat, but an hour later and he was unable to find the problem but said it should be ok to drive home. it was real good fun driving round norwich ring road, stopping and starting at all the round abouts, struggling to get going again at each one. finally made it home, and all in all had a thoroughly enjoyable night away, cant wait to do it again!
  13. thanks for posting this tom. this is something ive been wanting to get round to doing for a while now. i lack just a couple of components for a really efficient set up and there always seems to be something else i need first! ive been following a lot of the srt threads for a while now.
  14. we have loads of beech here, id say about 80% of my work is on beech trees
  15. are you relying on the weight of the hardware to bring the system to within reach? not sure i get it
  16. mate, i just paid someone good money to design me a logo for arbtalk, if i'd known you were that good i'd have sent my money your way!
