Give the things a chance !! I’ve seen them not come out until mid June ! Every one jumping on this fell it it’s got challara needs to chill out... even if it has we need to give the resilient ones a chance, any way felling hedge row trees now in prime nesting season ??

Shouldn’t they have been on the pile of shite you sold me ?

We have big problems with that from visitors , septic tanks do not like baby wipes ! Heard they pulled 5 tonne of them out of a near by sewer so why any one would do this or feels the need to wipe there arse on a wet wipe Is beyond me... but despite telling any visitors do not put things down the loo I’ve found my self elbows deep in raw sewage in the last few months thanks to bloody baby wipes and no doubt my sister and her kids !

Black Death... There population along with goosanders are out of control , my mates had his licence revoked and has 30 cormorants on his lake.. imagine the damage they are doing to his business. Back in the day there was a very healthy number of salmon par until the 80’s when river keepers where told it was illegal to control there numbers.

If it’s merrist woods old 390 it would of been very well looked after and not properly worked... I’d be interested for sure.

Have found kilworth possibly one of the best companies I’ve dealt with for after care.

Yeah..

Are there any wholesale buyers out there for milling produce , I do remember seeing a guy asking for timber but can not find the thread.

Think the old kliens are like those old school gym shoes...they are great for dexterity, you get a real nice feeling of knowing exactly where your spikes are in a spar but are hard in your feet so you want the air max’s like the carbon geckos because they give a bit more comfort whilst loosing some dexterity... I’m talking bollocks again ! I like the carbon geckos but they do feel a little numb the ally ones are a good compromise don’t think you will regret the choice gaz .

Always liked the geckos , they just seem to fit right and never give me discomfort and enjoyed climbing in them ... I’ve climbed in most spikes and got on fine but found a few painful, another reason behind that though is the spikes should be adjusted if applicable to the individual user. I used a co workers pair of Bashins a few weeks back that gave me blisters they where that badly adjusted to my legs !

Only because the polling was in the social club and next to the bar so was something to do....

There is this ..but I’m coming up to replace my 05 transit i converted myself ,I brought it at 4 years old it’s done over 175k miles and apart from two clutches and brakes and some belts has cost me nothing and has been one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned on a different note the transit I brought before that had come from already converted for Arb and was a money pit , it was rotten to the point of being dangerous , I’ve pulled off drives without the chipper as the back end of the Truck was still attached to the chipper it was that rotten and if it could break it did... I wanted to scrap it but a mate was desperate for it , a few weeks later the rear wheels came bouncing past him driving down a country lane after the rear diffs slid out! I think buying an another arbs vehicle would be a mistake unless you knew it well to make a call as most have been abused and then some more.

Can’t say I’ve paid much attention to it bill, the roller under should take most of the momentum though... down side to retrievable SRT anchors is climbing with 60m of rope if your setting anchors from the ground. Well you have seen me climb ! I will spend time getting an anchor , once that’s sorted you can throw your self around as much as you can with out worry.. but I do not like base anchors .. always make me feel on edge.
-
Shit mate ! Not jo ? If you ever fancy a rec climb I have said it before we can go over tip tie ins ... any ways it’s totally normal to have that , ropes wear ! it’s not uncommon especially after a few speedy descents to see those Fibers in the top pin of a wrench.

It’s becoming more apparent the real reason they suck is because you didn’t get the job in the first place??

Problem is I view the forum through the app , I can’t block you and when I click on unread posts usually there you are at the top with your opinionated and demented views.

That would be mint too...

@Steve Bullman can you not just ban this clown mate? He really does not do your forum any favours.

The white sap wood and it’s not uncommon to have a bit of rot in the middle is the give away! It is really a pungent smell , well chipping it anyway! Felled one yesterday and had forgot how ringing wet they are coming on this time of year but not sticky which is a change for a conifer coming on sap . Shame the client wanted it all ringed up for firewood.
-
I would not waste any more time eggs ... don’t feed the trolls.
-
Looks like it in every way, proper fruity smell to it as well.
-
So you did it for a cup of tea and a chat ? If so you are indeed a mug.

He wasn’t in the line up of walkers approaching winterfell hope he does !
