    When I had my paper license it said 12000. 3 days later when my license was returned with the change of address and in plastic card format it had been reduced to 8250. When I brought this up with them they denied that I had ever had upto 12000kg, even when I sent them evidence that I didnt have the 107 restriction previously. If I had known I wouldn't have informed them of my change of address.

    That's what I was getting at Dave. When I checked my paper license it said upto 12000kg. Then 3 days late the site said I had a 750kg trailer for a 7500kg vehicle.

    I was answering your question. My old paper license on the license checker stared I could drive up to 12000kg. It was nice of them to inform me 20 years ago.

    I did that twice. Sent the copies along with my letter of complaint. They just ignored it and rattled out the same tune.

    Sorry mate, no idea. I don't even know if the designer has a definite timeframe.

    It is also the only one readily available to purchase.

    Tell me about it mate. I photo copied it and even screenshot the dvla's page and your entitlements for the license the day before I sent it off. It came back three days later after I was promised it would return with 'exactly' the same entitlements as it currently had. But they had slapped the 107 towing restriction on there. Two letters later and the imbecile and the senior imbecile just looked at a screen and sad computer says know. They just kept saying but you passed your test before 1997 blah, blah, blah. I told them no! I actually passed my test in 1992. I know when I passed as I was actually there unlike the person on the phone who wasn't born then! They are an absolute joke. Just one of the reason I will be glad to see the back of this fair isle.

    Managed to get mine dialled in today on a Beech and Birch tree tip RJ. Had it set on 3 on the top and 5 on the bottom for my 11mm Sterling HTP. Worked a treat. Rich

    I did that mate. With evidence and it was worth Sweet FA.

    Basically who ever deals with the licenses will strip you of anything they can. I renewed my license last year and gained a towing restriction of 8250kg. I even had the evidence prior to the change of address and printed the sheets off and sent it I. With the forms for renewal/address change. They claimed they didn't know what I was on about and. That restrictions in 1997 blah blah blah... I told them to check the actual restrictions from 1992 when I passed. The answer came back as in 1997... blah blah blah. I escalated it twice and even had a transport consultant advice me. Still the same answer. I figured I was talking to a brick wall .

    Ideally you don't want to take a fall on an ascender. If you use a hand ascender and footloop or connected to rwhc combo, it could take the hit before your hitch engages. Not good. If you using a haas and foot ascender everything is below the hitch. Just a thought to bear in mind.

    It can be used doubled rope. But the shackle is for tending only. You would still need to attach the static end to your bridge somehow.

    Nod recieved them on the 11th. The only reason I managed to get mine early was Ben Rose was working with Nod and he picked up his and my unit. I met him yesterday and we had a tinker with them.

    Got hold of mine this morning and had a couple of hours playing on it. Very adjustable and well made. Time will tell but I reckon it will be fun to climb on once you have it sorted. Rich

    I had one replaced 3 years ago and on my second that was provide by Yve. Excellent customer service from Clarks as well as a hard wearing waterproof jacket IME.

    Or, as in my case get a cut and climb. Not do anything with it forever 2 years and it still keeps me dry. Think how much Nikwax and 20 quid kaggies I would have spent in all that time. I think with the CnC the difference is in the after care. Don't ever wash in over 30 regs as it melts the waterproof out of the weave. Then you be dryer wearing a string vest.

    I bought my kids the 10 casios for chrimbo. They love them.

    I wear a GShock everyday for work and it is bomb proof, so far. Paid about 60 quid, about half price. Plenty of styles to choose from. My main concern cern was the vibes. I had a Seiko Kinetic and had to have the cell replaced twice. It is a bit old but the chainsaw vibes over charged it and knackered the thing.

    That could explain why my warning light used to come on very quickly.

    I thought the Navara was 70l? At least mine was.

    A bus journey to the southern alps ruined Father Ted for me. I cannot stand the program. A lot of classics like only fools and porridge were great and timeless viewing. Of the recent decents, Mighty Boosh was wierd but excellent. Phoenix nights was pretty good... never liked the office. Fleabag on Beeb 3 is a bit different and quite funny.

    Your a lump alright Don I am 6'4" and about 14 stone. Do you find the treework has helped your lifting?

    He was a great talent who will be missed by millions. RIP.

    I would sack off Scotland. Get to France and then drive down towards Geneva. The Alps are your Oyster then.

    What Matty and Marc have said. Especially the pantin/foot ascender.
