  1. where bouts, i had to travel to margate yeasterday, what a nasty place!!!
  2. but agrab offers great adjustibilty too
  3. the bit around the bottom that always twist round has a slight angle where it joins up, if you pull it down befor putting the strap in instead of leaving it central it will fasten up nicely and never move!!
  4. wind is blowing rain is hammering so i get to sit at home, whats it like in your areas?
  5. ''ive got a big file'' haha quality nice job
  6. i have a s and no problems there except there too big!!!!! so if any one is interested in a brand new set worn once then give me a pm, they are large and all carbon.............. make me a DECENT offer and there yours
  7. i see what your saying,was nice tho to do it that way....
  8. im mostly looking down so not too bad, the vertex has a grey slidy bit on the back that you take off and swap a bit inside and it site slightly better on your head, but ive found its all how the chinstrap is placed, to far back and it makes you gag and too far fwd and it falls off and goes on your nose!!
  9. nice with spikes!!lol i used to feel just as safe with my chopping boots on as i did with my alpinestars on going to work but would sooner have the alpines any day on a bike!!
  10. sounds scarey, i just got some carbon gekos and had a good visual at the rivets etc as a mate has had the bolt come out the joins the strap on the outside of the foot bit, i think ill replace the bolt with a nylon or get a punch and 'uspet' the thread pattern so it cant come undone..
  11. i love dmm's 'Fat Boy HMS Locksafe' its just there small compact design i think!!
  12. i have a petzle grab that is apparently illegal because itthas no bolt just a spring clip holding it in!! never failed tho ever and ive had it for nrly 3 years!!!! i find the lrage grabs a pain because they dont always grab!!!!!!! and a 3m ne wire core, never let me down
  13. you have some nice kit my man!!!!!!! well done
  14. i see you left the stip at BS height:p do you get to drive around and pic trees thast need to come out on certain parts in your area
  15. i dont no about your crane companys around your lots areas but you get it for the day even tho it was there for only 2 hours when 1 that worked turned up!! oh and it wasnt my job, did it for a mate who i do alot of subbing for but i was involved a little in the planning. but like i said it was drafted in to make life easy due to space:151:
  16. trev was being annoying so we had to shut him up!!
  17. second day the zoom was mega on his camera!! that is the top section!!!!!
  18. it would of been a nightmare having a crane there for 2 days, was a bit tight for employees to get buy as it was, the crane was used just for quickness on taking the wood out(even though the first crane broke down!!), and really it could of come at the end of the first day but lee put 2 days on it which ment there was no rush and made for a very pleasent 2 days chopping, it was my first wellintonia and very memorable
  19. hell no, its unreal man, its like nottingham, 3 women to ever man!!!! jonsie - yes mate i recieved them, all is good, no worries on not having them for the job, gave my old uns' a good sending off to the shed:nurse:
  20. who was the climber and where is his cambium saver lol nice pics matt
  21. the house behind took them to court saying it was ruining their houses foundations, quite clearly it was but the tree was there well befor the house!!! was a loverly tree tho except fpr the ivy Charlieh-it has many bars, tbh the last time i went out there i dont rember alot...... great place full of tastey women
