    Starting from Left... Nick (Moonshine) Waring Mick (Guitar Picker) Stockbridge, Jay (the silent one) Smith SCM - Stuart (You got purty lips) Mcgillivray Dave (Bayou) Dyer Plippy - Phil (squeal like a pig) Royale, Ricardo (the canoo'er) Rule. N.B. The names in brackets are for the purpose of making s.varty's Deliverance fantasy a bit more realistic.

    If you want it to be a scene from Deliverance then it can be. Just imagine...

    We had a Mewp hire company cock up and send out a 32 metre machine once which wasn't good enough to complete the job. They sent out a 34 metre bronto to finish the job foc. I think your leverage is based on how much business you could put their way in the future. Or how many times youve used them before.

    My local garden centre has been selling over priced christmas trees for the last few years. 60 quid for a 5-6 footer, 70 quid for a 6-7 footer etc. Last year I got chatting to the guy wrapping the trees for the customers (as we used to chip their excess in January) he mentioned to wander around the back, all trees are ungraded but are 25 quid each. Basically they do not look like perfect trees from the xmas card but hey ho still good enough for me. Last year a 7 foot Nordman for 25 quid. This year a 6foot+ for 29.99. Fair doo's, I aint gonna knock them for putting the prices up a bit. Still a bargain.

    Alright Steve, not forgotten mate, just been really busy myself climbing and as I have 2 other MS 200t 's it is just in a box at the back of the shed. I could send it up before New Year or after. I may be driving up north in the new year so I could pop it in myself. Either way, I would like to get it fixed up.

     

    So do you want it before xmas or after, that is the question?

     

    Cheers,

    Rich.

    You missed a bit Max.

    You don't need to tell me mate. Whenever I saw a spec like that I just ignored it and reduced the canopy. Occasionally a bit of a thin if I was twigged in the eye, 3 strike rule and all that.

    I really like P-hivy but I only have a short 25 m length of it. My 50 metre rope is Tachyon. I don't think I would like the P Hivy any longer. Even though it is nice in hand I reckon it would be too soft and bouncy if longer. Besides I really like the Tachyon.
  16. Rich Rule
    So when I used to get a job spec that says 30% reduction and 20% thin of what is left... Your now telling me this is wrong and not good practice?

    Brothergrim I don't have a landy. Never lived up there during my time as a clamberer. Done a few jobs for friends and family when back up there though.

    Sounds a great opportunity for the right person. My missus mother lives in Sweden but we don't have plans to relocate there unfortunately. Maybe in the future, who knows. Good luck with your search.
  19. Rich Rule
    Yes John, on second glance a good idea and I clocked the rope doesn't go through the first bina for retrieval. My understand is the same now, the retrieval shackle is not needed.

    Blakeston boy eh? My old man lives in the Heartburn Fairfield area. Near the bottom end of surbiton. Got a few friends living In Norton but I have been away from the are for quite a number of years. I still get back up there now and again to see the family. Do you still live up there? What's the work situation like?
  21. Rich Rule
    A good idea but I am lost to see how it is retrievable when you are using a ropeguide? The line would go up and remove the ropeguide, then the whole lost would be pulled to the top krab in the picture and then your banjo'ed. The ropeguide or cambium wouldn't not get through the first krab. Or am I missing something and being an uber-numpty? Edit: I was being thick as mince, got it now.

    One that doesn't look like he is doing cats cradle in the tree... Where in Stockton are you from mate? I went to Ian Ramsey.

    Hi Kev, thanks for the message.

     

    Sorry I have not got back to you sooner, I was hoping I would catch you one morning at the yard but no joy. I am glad you are getting busier, same here. I have all but 3 days in January booked up and looking good for February.

     

    Without seeming to come across as ungrateful, I don't think it is an option to do any more work other than with the companies I currently provide freelance service to. I am having trouble keeping up with the days they require without adding another company into the fold.

     

    Hopefully, I will catch you before the festive period, but if I don't see you in person - have a great Christmas and wish you all the best for the New Year.

     

    Rich.
