    Fall Guy

    with streethawk to nip down to the shops on:thumbup1:
  9. I've found Broadshot (broadsword) to be quite effective on brambles. I did a large area in a churchyard which was inside a wildlife area so had to be careful with drift. The area was sprayed and left till the brambles had died and then strimmed and raked. No regrowth since.
  10. Graham Blench taught me for idents.
  11. If you have a look on their website, it is basically one of the farriers tops with storage lockers in the sides and the full length of the load bed is still usable but they have all the jigs for whatever make of vehicle.
  12. I did my NC at houghall in 98/99 and had dave bentley, clive parker, paul elcoat and tony pinkerton as my lecturers. It was just as East Durham Community College was getting involved and the England Womens football Academy was there. Fond memories of the hospital field and the beech woodland. My trial plot was next door to the stables:biggrin: so not much work was done
  13. You wont need to take the ladder rack off just the ladder stops on the corners of it. I have a 54 4work dc and had a top made for me by N&J aluminium linings at Clitheroe. I'll try and post some pics of mine soon.
  14. N and J Aluminium Linings in clitheroe.
  15. sherrill tree used to do Petzl lids with custom paint jobs. I think they had a bloke who did ice hockey masks and helmets.
  16. NEDL/YEDL electricity contract has gone to enterprise and fountains i think.
  17. apparently there are 29 air ambulances grounded- all ec135's. I think there are only a handful of air ambulances that operate other makes including Yorkshire. The armed forces and the coastguard have stepped into the breach in those areas affected.

    which l200

    got a 54 l200 double cab, had it for two years now and it has only had a new steering hose, clutch which was the original and also had to replace the rear axle because the rear diff was dying and it worked out cheaper to do it that way but the engine pulls like a train. Just drove to horsham last weekend and it was all motorway and did 70 most of the way there and back and did about 680 miles on tank and a half.
  22. it used to be that to get on an academic course you had to have so many hours relevant industry experience. why not bring that back?
  23. thats what i was trying to say peter but couldn't quite remember which bit went where.
  24. might be up for that mate.
  25. Askham Bryan have just taken over the fe side of newton rigg and are pumping about a million pounds into getting it back on its feet. My woodland management lecturer is a graduate of newton rigg and has worked in forestry since leaving there and has brought that experience to askham bryan.
