    What he said. when I moved to Norway most people use Aspen2. I started using it and slowly saws started to play up. I replaced rubber hose, fuel lines etc and carb kits and they work fine. i prefer 2stroke and pump fuel in bigger saws though. They seem to run better. Just remember not to let the fuel go off.

    Can you get anymore Tommy? Dont really know what I would use it for but I am sure I could come up with a purpose... such as canopy anchor.

    @Mark J The one on The A20. I thought it was Lee High Road but it is Eltham Road. I heard one of the locals coming out of the council flats behind it... moaning about the leaves it drops, they called it a f’ing tree. Must be a new species discovered by chav Victorians Image taken from google maps.

    @Mark J From that article I read that the name ‘Boabab Plane’ is a colloquial term rather than a botanical name. It also states but can’t confirm the swelling is thought to be caused from some form of viral infection. There is a plane tree on Lee High Road in South East London. About 2 miles from my old house which looked the same. No one has referred to it as a Boabab plane but rather a plane tree with Bottle butt. Plus there is one in Greenwich Park. Not as pronounced and I found an article which I think David Humphries played a part in. It appears to be a lot younger that’s the ones in the article you posted. I would wager the Victorians were all about one up man ship. If a new species was planted and discovered they would label it with a name. Interesting all the same.

    It may just be an extreme case of Bottle Butt?

    You could do it yourself. It isn’t too hard just follow some Instructions for a double braid splice. Alternatively, maybe Tom Bowen @Tommy_B could do it for you.

    Do you live in Lewisham or was it you on the bike?

    Depends on what you want it for. I have 60m of the 11mm http. It is very low stretch and is a bit like climbing on wire. It is great but I wouldn't want to take a fall on it. I haven't managed to get it working on my Rope Runners or BDB and it worked for a while with the akimbo. Then for some reason just started to slip with the Akimbo... an issue with the device and not the rope. I have other ropes I prefer to climb on so it has been coiled up and hung up in the workshop for a while. I might give it a go with the RW someday. It is always nice to have a backup long rope as the weather here in Norway can be inclement, so it is nice to be able to change if you need something dry. Hope this helps.

    Are you sure about the towing capacity mate? In order to upgrade my 2018 Hilux to 3.5 ton it is about 2000Nok (200 quid ish) extra.

    Exactly the same mate. Just keep hold of both loose ends and imagine they are joined.

    I worked in all conditions last winter in Norway. Pfanner Ice grip were some of the best I tried. My main problem is size 11’s are a bit big but doable. Size 10’s in thermal work gloves tend to be a tad too tight and I lose the circulation in my fingers. Usually end up taking the gloves of and climbing bare handed to get the blood back. Kind of defeats the object of cold weather gloves.

    I usually get on the road by 5.45. Meet in Oslo for 7- 7.30. As it goes I have been here now for 20 mins and not meeting till 7.30. i would much rather sit and chill at someone’s yard and have a coffe than be stuck in traffic for an hour then all guns blazin’ at work all day.

    Very dramatic. Some good work. I have the Schultz effect. He is obviously very knowledgable but sometimes his rigging looks a bit overkill IMO. i find it hard enough with a rigging line and working line, let alone two of each, which he has in a couple of shots.

    Not sunset I am afraid. I live on the East side of the peninsula. we do get some Lovely sunrises though. I don’t mind getting up early for work. The canvas changes daily.

    Imagine being a fly on the wall as he is trying to get finance for his new Aston... all because of a CCJ for non payment of 450 quid to rectify a problem tree in an emergency.

    Treekit Maybe?

    The older generation... One of my good friends in Manchester found out after his great Uncles funeral, via the Jewish chronicle, that he was one of the Brigand of Nazi Hunters. A group of Jewish soldiers took it upon them selves to track down and kill Nazis. The film Inglorious Bastards is based on their exploits. The point I am trying to make, he was a hero within the Jewish community yet nobody, or very few, including his family knew anything about it. My mate was immensly proud when the article paid tribute to his great uncle.
