Dogs are very intelligent, but the also do the most stupidest things sometimes as well!

have you tried Woolpower Joe? They are awesome

I’m picking up the rest of my climbing gear tomorrow actually. I was going to keep the wrench but actually would be prepared to let it go. Pop over for a pint tomorrow night if you like, can go through all the bits and pieces I have

I did this years ago, we used scaffolding poles for the posts. Rammed them in with a 3.5t Volvo digger then just used railway sleepers for the timber.

the x ring and pulley might be sold, dependant on collection as he's not local. Will let you know. I have 2 16mm split tails available and a bunch of odd climbing bits and pieces if any interest. Oh and a 5m wirecore lanyard with adjuster

Thanks Andy. New sites being added daily, so yes I hope something will be closer to you before long. Keep checking in.

Yep anywhere In the UK that is. If on private property they will call the police and await for them to be present, however its the finders that carry out the recovery

Bit harsh mate ?

Don't blame you. Weathers really turned here as well the past couple weeks. Bloody glad i'm not still climbing. Although I did get talked into doing a weeks felling earlier somehow. Going to invest in some more of those woolpower baselayers for picus testing, thats going to be a cold old job otherwise.

Well I see Stellas not gone up so Bolam will me happy. I rarely look too deep into any of the budgets beyond the main things such as the tax thresholds. They've gone up so hopefully thats a good thing, unless they screw us somewhere else which is highly likely

£90 + vat on honeys https://www.honeybros.com/Item/HBM_Whoopie_Sling_Antal-Ring

2.5m whoopie worth a lot more than £20. Looking for cash only on collection though. have several other bits in cuttrently sorting through. Isc block, couple of 16mm split tails, all brand new

Anyone selling these in the UK? I have a brand new one I want to sell but can't find a price anywhere to see what its worth

For the first time in HAIX’s seventy year history, international dealers and team members alike gathered in Croatia for a two-day event between 11 - 12th October 2018. HAIX distributors from 27 different nations across Europe, Asia and South America met for a behind the scenes glimpse of the brand: from updates on top-secret product developments set to launch in 2019, to an access all areas factory tour. With 1.2 million pairs of shoes supplied to customers worldwide annually, with a capacity to manufacture up to 10,000 pairs of shoes every day, 1,300 members of staff and 5 international branches; HAIX is a truly international brand. Reflecting HAIX’s global network, the international dealer event saw initial presentations held in Zagreb, Croatia, before a visit to the factory in Mala Subotica, home to one of the world’s most modern shoe production facilities, employing over 1,000 locals. Demonstrating HAIX’s continued success in the UK, key distributors from industrial, forestry and emergency services attended the event. This included representatives from Arco, WorkWare and Bond Safety. Attendees received the latest updates from HAIX that began with a company history overview, presented by CEO Ewald Hairmerl who explained how the brand began with him designing his own range of functional firefighting boots after being disappointed with the rubber boots him and his colleagues were wearing at the time. The objective of always responding to customer demand, continually designing and developing footwear features that improve their daily life forms part of the brand’s vision to this day and is how the company has seen unprecedented global success. Also discussed during the event were the latest campaigns HAIX has been working on including ‘Made in Europe’ and the commitment to a European foothold, with raw materials sourced from Europe and manufacturing performed only in Europe, in Germany and Croatia. Exciting plans for 2019 were also outlined, including never before seen product developments and campaigns. Simon Ash, UK Sales Manager, commented: “At HAIX, everything we do is created with the end user in mind, and this extends across our entire supply chain. To be able to take our key distributors from the UK to see where it all happens in Croatia was a fantastic experience. Echoing our event’s motto was ‘grow together’, we wanted to motivate our dealers and set the course for an even more successful year.” Nick McLaren, Arco’s Category Manager for Footwear said: “This international event demonstrated why HAIX is known as a quality brand with footwear to match. The sophisticated manufacturing process ensures safety footwear excellence, and its ‘Made in Europe’ promise is a captivating campaign that shows its genuine commitment to quality to its customers. It was interesting to get an inside perspective of the shoe production and the brand’s plans for 2019.” Investing in quality footwear is priority. HAIX is committed to meeting the highest demands in functionality, quality, design and performance all over the world. For more information about visit www.haix.co.uk   View full record

The introduction of the new ECHO CS-4510ES sets a benchmark for rear handle chainsaws. It packs a real punch with its 45cc two-stroke stratified scavenging engine and the power-to-weight ratio makes it more powerful yet lighter than previous models. This is a chainsaw packed with new features but still built to exacting ECHO standards. It offers a better output of 2.3kW and yet weighs in with a dry weight of just 5.0kg. Lift the CS-4510ES and you immediately feel how light it is. Start cutting logs or use it for felling small trees and you realise it is no ordinary chainsaw. You know instinctively the moment you start work it’s been designed by engineers who understand what the operator needs in terms of performance, durability and ergonomics. The Stage II emission compliant engine is one of ECHO’s new engine platforms. The two-stroke has a piston operated scavenging system in which a layer of fuel-free air is created between the burnt charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase. The buffer reduces the fuel laden losses during the cycle. This translates into a chainsaw that generates more torque to cut faster and more efficiently through harder wood. Add in features such as the new air filter design which shields the engine from dust intake, the drop-out prevention nuts, translucent fuel tank, and the ES Easy Start system, and it’s easy to see why this very different looking chainsaw is going to be much in demand with a wide range of users. The ECHO CS-4510ES is a machine that not only increases productivity and reduces downtime in maintenance, it also comes with a two-year professional warranty or five-year domestic warranty. You can find out more from your local authorised ECHO dealer. You can also visit www.echo-tools.co.uk or call 0800 597 7777 for more information. View full record

you'll need to ask them to add themselves as they need to accept the terms and conditions. Please share it with them

Yep there was the odd mutterings haha Had a chance to check out the new tip site directory?

Good to read you again! Yep lots of changes since you last visited. Hopefully you adapt to them more easily than some did

Well you got what you asked for then!

Feel free to start a new one also and i'll re-share it minus the clutter

Actually it is a contributing factor wether you agree or not. Why is it that work always quietens down before any general election? Because people fear change and hold onto their money. Its the same every time. If you had run a business for any amount of time you would have witnessed this yourself. And yes, this has a knock on effect all the way across the board. So what Mark is saying is correct. Regardless of the outcome of brexit, people changing their business practices out of fear of the future is only going to compound any potential problems.

No idea the current prices. Been a while since I was in the firewood game. Its a worthwhile investment though whatever it is.

I think it's still up and running isnt it?
