Sounds interesting steve, is it actually free, and how do people find you? Sorry, not really up on all the interweb stuff!
-
Cheers fellas, take it thats after Coronenders and all that................ The missus maybe let me watch it then!
-
Anyone give us a clue what channel and time? Just for those of us who dont bother with the box much!
-
Nice one Dean, guess the difference is, you worked and paid for your kit:sneaky2: Guess its easier to be complacent when you dont have to pay for a new pair:closedeyes:

I use cargo net with bunji rubber then remove it after chipping. Cost £20 from our local tarp place, stops chips but lets air through so dust doesnt blow back at you, and lets rain through so doesnt sag.

Nice one Nige!
-
Good to hear from you again after so long Ross, hope you get sorted with some work.
-
And finally, a couple specially for MonkeyD. The log cart was ready, but we resisted temptation:001_tt1:
-
And more;
-
A few to show the extent of rot in some of the fells;
-
Heres a couple of shots from the the ash, not visible from the vid; Yep, we found the owners son in the tree!

I`ll try and add a bit more info for you guys and reply to most comments together; The clear up was left to the customer, so we just did the fun, erm sorry, technical bits! And yes, he did really try and put "Take That" as a sound track whenever i appeared on the vid. Glad that didnt work. Lol! The guy on the whinch is the owner of the hotel' date=' he had his arm in a sling after dislocating his shoulder, and has never done anything like this before! Turned out to be a star and really enjoyed himself! He did wonder if the land rover would stay put, until i showed him the sling attaching it to his shed! The Funguy shots were specially for you dave! Is that both Petes Iain? Think we were both guilty of that one.... I will post a few more pics later when i get them out of the little silver thingy!

Your second pic brings back memories of last year for me Chris!
-
All sounds great from what you say bob, the only thing i need to check is that the eye of the cambium saver is not distorting as you say. I suppose i could get a maillon that is a better shape if it is, guess ive always used the isc for ease of fitting. What you say about compatability between different kit is, as you say very important, but i dare say is very easily overlooked. This is another BIG can of worms i suppose. Cheers for that Bob, and sorry for the picture quality!
-
Sounds like theres a bit of variation in quality of pointers. I think i was lucky as the one i got appears to be the same as buxtons and sherrills but only cost a fraction of those. Anyway, took a piccy of the dot of mine at about 25meters away in good daylight. Hopefully you can see the dot on the fence:blushing:
-
Here you go Bob, got the electric thingy goin:sneaky2:
-
Cheers for the tip, i'll bear this in mind for the next time you come to ours:sneaky2: I shall have a word with the wife and get her to make a big heap of sarnies the night before. Then i have all night to add the scotch bonnets and iron filings:001_tt1:
-
Just to update you Bob, I did take a pic but my card reader is playing up so no pic at the mo! Basically i use a cambium saver with the small ring cut out and put an ISC 3 way carab(pear shaped) through it holding a fixed cheek petzel 13mm pulley. I always hang the carab so the gate is facing away from the tree stem. Hope this makes sense, if not, i will put the pic up when i can get this electro-gadget thing working!

Anyone want to do recreational/practice climbing Leeds/York area?
18 stoner replied to Scottie's topic in Climbers talk
Could have been very, very serious, Pete could easily have mamed himself or worse still, even killed himself. Just imagine that............................. Who would we take the mick out of then:001_tt1: -
Cheers Bob, I`ll get a pic tomorrow and post it.
-
Oh, and nice splices by the way Jamie, i take it its some of your fine work?
-
Please dont take offence mate, we are well aware you are giving an opinion, same as everyone else, thats the whole idea of the forum. Newer members such as yourself are welcomed because of the chance of fresh opinions and input, so please keep it coming! What comes out of debate is often useful to many, and in this case its purely personal preference. I, for instance have been running my line through a pulley attached with a biner, and through large ring of the cambium saver. Does that sound like i could be using the biner incorrectly? Open to anyones views:confused1:
-
I believe there is a little confusion in descriptions here between friction saver and cambium saver. The way i see it, its like Jamie says these leather types are fine for protection, but when adding a pulley to a cambium saver it then becomes a friction saver! Big difference:001_cool:
-
Last time i got some kit that way, i only paid postage from btrac to me. They still charged same price as sherrills for the kit too.
