    Fat Stem mate. Enjoy yourself tomorrow.

    I had exactly the same email and result nearly 3 months ago. RESULT. They were more than helpful at Stuart Sports when I spoke to them and I couldnt believe how cheap they were.

    My mate has a pair Mammut - bought from blacks and they are awesome. Cant find the model though but they are about 230 nicker. Personally, if I had to get other or the Crestas were not available I was going to go for the La Spotiva but in green. La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX Mens - Green - Telemark Pyrenees Ski and Mountain Equipment Cheeper than HB, and they only do red ones. Even with delivery they turned out t be competetive.

    I nearly went for them Tommy. Decided on the Crestas instead. The others look as though they would not be able to handle the riggers of treeclimbing.
  5. Rich Rule
    Well you asked for advice and then went and bought something different.

    Best tip I can offer is don't touch skin with it. I have had 13 stitches over years with 2 bad silky cuts. Quite a few other knicks. The serious one have been slippage in a tree due to bad weather or in one case a branch snapped I was stood on and I wazzed the sugioi (The sharpest and largest of the Silky range, might I add) straight into my forearm. Basically don't touch skin.

    Just do your license to allow you to drive, HGV? Saves all the agg. You know it makes sense in the long run.

    Hope the lad heals quick.

    I did an advanced rigging workshop ran by the AA about 5 or 6 years ago. It was a day course and cost about 35 quid iirc. Well worth it if one is being run in your area but no cert is offered. Sorry, not done a treevolution course, but I did the cs41 ticket a few years back with Kingswood and we covered pretty much the same stuff as the advanced course. The good think about Richard is he will try and tailor the content to the level of the candidates. Do you already have cs41?
  12. Rich Rule
    Yup, sweet as a sweet thing!

    Just come in and it's doing this right about now...

    I have never shown any qualification to buy any saw. I have heard rumours but never been asked.

    I saw similar mate. In the park with the kids with the sun setting behind a row of large London Planes. (Pity about the 2 Tower block in the view though!)

    I would buy whatever length rope suits the trees you do. If you have 20m rope already, get a 45m, as stated earlier go for a thinner diameter. I climb on NE tachyon in varying lengths. I also have a 45 metre Imori which has been in a ropebag in my workshop for about a year. As for splice or tieing a knot. Most things have been covered apart from the fact that a splice retains more of the strength of the rope than a bowline for example. I cannot remember the figures exactly but a splice is significantly stronger than a bowline or other termination knot.

    now that is a silky cut...
  18. Rich Rule
    What would you have used?
  19. Rich Rule
    did a search but not sure they are coming up with the right ones. I found them for 150 but it says trainer in the description. That is 5 quid more than he Crestas. Being a tight ersed Northerner, I went for the Crestas at 145. Edit: there you go mate. Salewa MS MTN TRAINER MID GTX - Hiking Boots - black - Zalando.co.uk are these them? or these [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/SALEWA-MTN-TRAINER-charcoal-limeade/dp/B008YFQUXO[/ame]

    I think that is Cowboy Dave. The job was one of RBtrees jobs IIRC.

    Peter you have some endurance mate. My back and arse is sore after only 8 minutes of the missus going at it with a cat'o'nine tails.
  22. Rich Rule
    It'll go better with Tweed than the mustard, baby poo colour of your Crodas.
  23. Rich Rule
    You still after a pair even though 2 people have said they fall off your feet sharpish. Stuart Sports - 015394 43001 - They had quite a few pairs of Crestas in in September when I got mine. Might be worth a call. Nod also said he may be getting some in November. I havent spoken to him about them recently though. Hope this helps.
  24. Rich Rule
    Cheers mate, much appreciated.

    Paul, this was posted in the Milling forum, I started another thread, thought you might get a bite. I hope you don't mind me posting it here Rob. Cheers Rich. Hi Rich, Sorry just spotted this thread-Your mate is just a few miles from me, I'm pretty busy with work at the moment and I'm not a milling pro by any means but I can probably help him out- you can give him my number- 01825 872 495/07542603620 Rob
