Tully

The tree is currently in Brundal. Money wise im not sure ive heard some varying figures but really its only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Ive got some turning clubs coming back to me but ideally having someone take the lot in one go would be useful.

Ive got a monkey puzzle stem for sale in Norfolk. Its 50 foot by 80 cm diameter for the best part. Its blown over in Doris so we have been asked to clear it. If you know anyone who might like the timber please let me know.

I'm hoping to make this for the first time.

 

What will the weather be like please Dan?

Good Stuff Mark. The more the merrier.

There is no rigging in pic2.

Curtis has just forgotten everything he ever knew and got in a right pickle.

It took him nearly 4 hours to lower himself from this position, without cutting, or indeed rigging, anything.

 

Pic3 is my favourite shot this year.

Plenty of rigging in 2 Mark, just not in use. Poor Mr Curtis had to move it around every few pieces. Job took 4 days and must have been over 20 tonnes removed easily.

You've got a point mark. It certainly is a bit of a which piece now looking photo. 3 I Ermington QUOTE]

 

Cheers guys. The rigging was pretty interesting. We actually lowered alot on a single line fed between a termination and a pulley which gave us a 2/1 and a more centralised lowering point. The landing zone was tiny and mostly paved with the added fun of wired in lights.

Climber in the bottom 3 is Mr Curtis and last photo taken by Steve Townsend all on the same Beech dismantle.

Here is a few from this year.

All done. Back in London now. It has been an epic ride and a fantastic challenge. Thankyou for anyone who has donated, we are nearly at our £5000 target.

Nearly there. 4 More days of riding to get to Rome. It's a great feeling to have reached the Mediterranean Sea. If you are able to donate please see the link on the first page.

So today we conquered st Bernard 's pass. It's the 3rd highest mountain pass in the alps. It was also raining pretty hard temperatures were near freezing.

Today has been the hardestday so far. We climbed to 1600 and physically we are rather broken, spirits remain high and we are at our halfway mark. Any sponsors to the cause are really appreciated.

Hopefully some photos.

We have made it to Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The ride has been epic and today we saw a giant wild boar leaving the forests of France. Tomorrow we start to tackle the Alps. Thankyou for everyone that has donated to the charity.

Day 5 has just been complete. Tomo rrow we hit some nasty mountains and ride into Switzerlan. Thankyou to anyone that has donated.

Cheers Dan Curtis for your donation.

Thanks dude. It's really appreciated and all the money raised goes straight to the charity. All costs are paid for by the riders. Thanks again.

Bump.

Hey Guys

As you may or may not know, 8 riders and myself are embarking on a charity bike ride to Rome from Brighton on the 31st of August. We will complete it in two weeks, working out around a hundred grueling, relentless miles a day until we reach that ancient city!

It's all in good cause... If you could spare even £1 I would be greatly appreciative! All donations go to Friends Of The Earth. To donate or check out our website just use the links below.

Feb 5th we're back on those Poplars.

Sounds good im going to make some calls tomorrow cause my yard holds onto the snow for a while and im getting stuck every time i have to tip chip. Cheers

Been thinking about these on my daily. What kind of money do you part with for these and do you leave them on all year?

Here's a few good ones that stand out from the last few months.

Here is some from the other day.

Not sure these are in the right thread but they do have snow in.
