Dunno I’m a snob and only use English braids Joe for my rigging 🫣

Another reason to take double braid over 16 strand?

Yep looks like an old Yale climbing line

School trust fined after member of public hit by falling tree branch – HSE Media Centre PRESS.HSE.GOV.UK When your retarded enough to use an old climbing line or something not rated for the job… can’t believe he only got a suspended sentence considering the amount of time and money the rest of us have to spend on gear , training, insurance , loler and all the other endless crap to get on these sites… and he had f all !!

I think of every 30 climbers who enter this industry maybe 2 will still be in it in 10 years time..would be hard to get the experienced climbers to teach the level 1’s anything as there is rarely the time on site.

Any advice given and you will go and do the exact opposite … so I’m out.

Agree , I’ve never sharpened a set of spikes in my life… I’ve had people sharpen mine for me … with out asking I’ll add and I wasn’t best pleased!

Will be interesting to see if they are not total dog shit… personally I would not look past carbon distils with bottom strap and Velcro uppers after owning kliens , bashlins, Buckinghams and some awful honey bros early 90’s own brand things..

Hope you got him prosecuted…

Looking at the picture again it does look like the die back is coming from the ash tree behind but the photo quality’s making it hard to see what actually is going on!

I’d be more concerned about the one on the left as it looks like die back in the crown unless it’s a dead ash tree behind ! The die back from chestnut is usually caused by bleeding canker and when it gets to the stage of visible dieback it’s usually because the branches have large areas of non functioning cambium that makes them prone to branch failure. The tree on the right just has severe leaf minor which most chestnuts do … it usually starts to get very noticeable by the end of August.. best way of dealing with that is take all the leaves as soon as they drop and remove from site as the larvae will over winter in the ground once crawled from them .. it won’t stop it but trees I see that have this done look noticeably better.

Hopefully makes the difference.. I got about 8miles from home and had to ring for a fire extinguisher as I thought it was going to burst in to flames !! Local Valtra mechanic said straight off it’s the brake servo.

I’ve had brakes and every thing heat up on 6400 when the brake servo has started to fail.

I don’t think the 80’s are comparable to now by a long shot after seeing this comparison in quite a few places today , the 80’s was full of people who hated you because of your skin colour, no other reason , as a child growing up in the 80’s one of my mothers best friends who we used to go on summer holidays with around various shit hole camp sites and hotels in the UK was from the West Indies, i can remember her son who was my age having to hide or run to chants of Monkeys noises and bananas , getting rocks thrown at us and beaten up continually made holidays really good fun, by the early 90’s I don’t remember this happening at all and we a actually had a good time ! … that march is about stopping sharia law and the rise of Islam or so tommy says. after listening to a few of his current interviews he actually left the EDL because of racists.. I think he actually has point… I know pro Palestine supporters who have hitlers paintings in there house , have met partners on storm front and had children with people because there grand fathers where the highest decorated Dutch soldier in the Dutch SS … every bloody post I see is about free Palestine on there feed , it just so happens they hate Jews more than brown people although by this current trend your a nazi if you think sharia courts have no place in the UK law system.
