  1. Think you already have mine Justin - do you need it again? ...and any chance you could stock the Meindl Airstream boots? cheers, Paul
  2. Blimey - sounds like you work your climbers hard!
  3. Did you challenge them on it? Seems a bit of an anomaly... Matty - do you find the Klima Airs ok to climb in? Others I know that have them say they are quite heavy which put me off. They sure look pretty indestructable though.
  4. Does anyone know the difference between the courses of a) QTRA training and b) Practitioner's guide? I assume to become a licensed user you would need to do the QTRA training?
  5. Sure, http://www.qtra.co.uk/cms/index.php?section=80
  6. Ah, the QTRA website says it's in Warwickshire so I might give it a miss. There's one in Bristol in March...
  7. Ditto - might be interested if isn't too far from me.
  8. http://gypoclimber.com/view.php?pg=groundman A few pointers on there!
  9. Surely only if you are VAT registered?
  10. Hi Steve. I don't think you can get them anywhere. We certainly tried whilst on the course but were told that ABC Awards don't release them. Seems a bit off to me.
  11. Sheesh - you guys sure know how to take the wind out of a man's sails! How about "nice one Giles - hope it wins you lots of jobs and earns you lots of money" etc...
  12. My Meindl's have lasted more than 2 so I think I'll stick with them. Cheers.
  13. Can anyone confirm that all chainsaw boots are VAT exempt? I thought compulsory safety clothing was exempt. Want to buy some Meindl Airstreams but both websites that I have seen them on list the price then say 'excluding VAT' as if it would be added. I see Jonesies boots are all listed as VAT exempt which made me wonder....
  14. Ok cool - thought that 'fact' may have been an old wives tale when you said two had caught fire! Great pics, must have been fun. Did you have to use a throw bag to get to the first branch?
  15. I had always thought that wellies were quite fire resistant. I guess maybe the thick bark is but the foliage ain't?
  16. In the meantime, here it is folks..http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/group.php?groupid=6
  17. Hey Steve - is there a 'groups' button or link somewhere? I just followed your link from another thread but can't work out how to find the groups from the main page. Ta!
