scotty, lives not too far from me. v. infrequent nowadays.
-
whereabouts in leeds are you moving to, because if you are moving to the wetherby area there is Bardsey Tree Services and Bartletts, in fact one of the members on here works for bartletts at tockwith. I might only be able to subby you on a very infrequent basis but pm me with details and i'll get back to you.

dean, you could try protection and performance who made the land rover that just crossed the bering straits between russia and alaska and they're based in yorkshire at elslack near skipton. http://www.protectionandperformance.co.uk

imo jason has made a mistake and has learnt from it and just wants everybody else to learn from what was probably a momentary lapse of clear thinking and oh dear the saw bites back. As nuggsy said no-one else was hurt or anything damaged apart from jason's pride (and his arm). but thats just my opinion.

i think i'll back adansonia on that one although whilst you two fight over the OP, i might just sneak in and lift the last one:001_tongue: jim

they sound like Arum or lords and ladies:alberteinstein:

going on saturday but driving down with gf on friday. Staying at holiday inn express at stafford just off M6 at j13. Is everybody just meeting up at jonesie's then?
-
wouldn't a parachute be better rather than a fall arrest harness? nice bit of kit though. Dont let Dean see this though!!
-
thats the one pete! I thought i'd got you before you put your hand up:sneaky2: thanks for your advice and help. How's the heel holding up after a day's contract climbing?
-
pete what happened to the photo of you that was taken on your camera? Don't say you deleted it! and there were more photos of the ladies taken when you asked me to go happy snappy. penfold

i think a big thatnk you will be winging its way to pete and dean for organising a brilliant day today especially the zip line (once it was up after much work on the surrounding trees just to clear a route for it. Good thing the local version of swampy wasn't around to witness the tree being removed just so we had a clear run). I think those of us who aren't the best climbers either through lack of experience or just starting learnt a lot today so thanks for the chance to learn new techniques , I know i did.

i know i'm a bit late with my tuppence worth here but as douglas bader was told by his CO "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" so i suppose that rules out most local authorities and the government doesn't it?
-
i have a pair of stretch airs and the only thing thats frayed on them is the little tab on the pocket zips although i dont know why as i never put my hands in my pocket unless its at the pub when im not on arbtalk:001_tt1: but they are probably the most comfortable trousers ive had and that includes sip freedoms. I'll just add that i'm not of slender build round the middle either so it cant be that that is causing problems, can it:confused1:

franknewarb, if you're going to Askham Bryan make sure you get yourself to harlands garden machinery at green hammerton for youir ppe or to craig and sybill at trees unlimited (or is it bts now?) at farsley near pudsey. Also get as much as you can out of the instructors at ABC especially graham hewson the senior technician. Wherabouts in yorkshire are you based? jim (penfold)

you pack your climbing gear for a weekend away because you never know; you visually inspect a tree before parking your battered land rover/transit/ldv/mog underneath it
-
try orange plant, i think they've just opened a depot in greater manchester somewhere. Barry Brown from the yorkshire depot was telling me about it (anyone who knows barry will know what i mean!)
-
dean, will try and make it on the 16th but will have to check with the good lady as to whether im allowed out to play:ohmy:
-
count me in for that one, got a few friends who are army, mostly long range snipers (artillery) but some in pbi.
-
dean, try drinking tetleys dark mild or any other dark mild as they don't pack the same sort of punch but still have the desired effect without too many of the undesired side effects:cheers: penfold

hi kev, the trenches round the mausoleum are probably french drains. I look after the trees in my local churchyard and we're having pretty much the same problem, one of the congregation is very keen to top an irish yew:scared1: which is next to a french drain round the church and he thinks that the roots will eventually push the wall out but i keep telling him it won't for at least another hundred years so my advice is just stick to your guns and tell the architect that pruning the crown wont prune the roots. jim aka penfold

surely its not a bad thing if this governments throat is slit:goodnight:
-
i'm going to hold my hand up and say i have a pair of the husky leather boots and i find them comfortable so i guess it just depends on which boots feel the most comfortable. A bit like a harness or a bed, if you're not in one you're in the other.

sorted:thumbup:
