  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I bought my kids the 10 casios for chrimbo. They love them.
  5. 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.
  6. That could explain why my warning light used to come on very quickly.
  7. I thought the Navara was 70l? At least mine was.
  8. 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.
  9. Your a lump alright Don I am 6'4" and about 14 stone. Do you find the treework has helped your lifting?
  10. He was a great talent who will be missed by millions. RIP.
  11. I would sack off Scotland. Get to France and then drive down towards Geneva. The Alps are your Oyster then.
  12. What Matty and Marc have said. Especially the pantin/foot ascender.
  13. Very helpful Ty. If that's a no go. There is a removal firm based in Dartford called Matthew James. A mate drives for them and they specialise in Europe. Could be worth a try.
  14. You probably wood though eh?
  15. Aside from the safety aspect and cutting near your nether regions, the two bridges you have seen on Instagram are usually used for two separate climbing systems. Quite a few people on SRT run two bridges to allow to clip another SRT system into a separate bridge for smoother movement and positioning. That's my take on it anyhow.
  16. Vikings is cool. Just finished westworld. An old fav is Deadwood. Game of thrones is great as was Spartacus. Did you know Kirk Douglas was 100 years old the other day? I am Spartacus and so is my wife.
  17. Nice one Ben. How long did it take to set the lines?
  18. When you're up the tree and trying to pull your rope through to redirect the tail. It is tangled and knotted with a bit of brash or caught around a shrub... 4 groundies stood watching you struggle then getting the hump when I ask them for help.
  19. I reckon Reg would win hands down. Think of all the one handed training he has done in his career. You can't beat working strength.
  20. Lovely top there Tim. The light dusting on the limbs made the video for me. Looked great . Great work as well. Had you already worked the tree you were tied off in or just set the line to help balance on the dismantle?

    I am sure Reg has his own reasons but how else do you get a camera at the top of the tree looking down without climbing it? Also I personally find it easier and quicker spinning around the pole with a top anchor.

    Enjoyed that Reg. Thanks for posting.
  23. Horse logging?
  24. An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said "I am Stephen Curry, the best NBA basketball player. The Warriors and my millions of fans need me, and I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, "I am the newly-elected US President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don't want me to die." He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, "My son, I am old and don't have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute." The little boy said, "That's okay, Your Holiness, there's a parachute left for you. America 's smartest President took my schoolbag."
  25. Again CE 'd Poison Ivy vs the rest of the world Poison Ivy.? Two very different ropes.
