    It is pretty much unusable on wet or dirty rope for me. I don't have the time to piss about with it mid climb. Hence the reason I have grabbed other devices when work needs to be done. Rich

    Haven't climbed on mine for about a week. Too fiddly and the slightest bit of moisture you have trouble using it.

    No he means he is allowed to work up to 180 days in another country and still pay tax to the country he is registered. Any more than the 180 days, tax is required to pay in the country where you are working.

    That peal and steal method has been used for years. When I was at 6th form college one of the lads had his car broken into that way. That was about 25 years ago.

    Good work John. Was there much damage to the drive or is it sweetener?

    Before and after a reduction to reshape this Beech and Birch tree at a loverly properly in Kent. The job was from last week.

    Yes it is. Also there is a speeling mistake, in there. So take it with a pinch of salt;)

    I am at a Mac now so can post the screen shots. First one taken on the 9th May 2016, second shot 3 days later on the 12th May 2016.

    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.
  16. Rich Rule
    Sorry mate, no idea. I don't even know if the designer has a definite timeframe.
  17. Rich Rule
    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
  20. Rich Rule
    I did that mate. With evidence and it was worth Sweet FA.
  21. Rich Rule
    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
