  1. Cheers Peter and Dean. I think that's probably it. Doesnt sound like it has a stained glass window though. There is some sort of story about a flood in Holmfirth and the family's cottage becoming uninhabitable so they moved to Delph. Im unsure of it all really I never really paid much attention. My dad reckons there are loads of Hinchliffes (my name) in that area. Its not really a very common name down here.
  2. Nice work Dean. I wonder how much longer it will go on for ? I keep meaning to come and explore your neck of the woods. My great Granddad was from Holmfirth. There is supposed to be a church up there that my great great granddad did the stained glass windows for. I think its in somewhere called Delf but when I look on the maps I cant find any where of that name.
  3. Have you got any photos of the targets, drop zones underneath?
  4. Klima air Tirol fighters here. Just got my pair resoled, it cost £30 rather than having to buy a new pair. I know they aren't the lightest boot in the world but there really comfy and durable.
  5. We bent our hopper at work, ended up taking it to a metal worker and he made us a up a new one and used the brackets of the old one, after getting it painted I think it was under £100.
  6. I use the art of lightness just like the shaolin monks:001_tongue:
  7. Do you think the splice pulled out a bit causing the whipping to come undone or was it the friction of the choker on the ouside of the whipping that caused it to undo? if you get what I mean. And will the sling be retired. Oh and was it the groundies fault or the lowering devices fault?
  8. Your not the treetech from Shaftesbury are you? Do you ever get confused with them?

  9. My work mate and his dad make biodeisel from veg oil (they buy new). The have a fuel pod in their garage. He has been running his landy on it for over a year. They had a few teething problems with quantities of winter additive last year but I think he has it sussed now. His truck does make you hungry.
  10. I dont bother with any kind of sling or anchor bridge. Make sure the rope bellow you is running free, not over your leg or anything and pull towards the top of the hitch rather than down and past it to the side .If your vt is set up nicely it should start to self tend then you can take longer pulls. If your rope is not running freely take three to 5 pulls then lock your arm and tend with the other. Dont then sit on the hitch carry on ascending and it should self tend.
  11. The three man saw display team photo is excellent!
  12. Possibly a compression fork causing the cambium to die and some decay?
  13. Thats awesome
  14. Sorry its P.pomaceus no longer P.tuberculoses. The tubes should be about 2mm and layered but the flesh colour is bang on. Difficult to tell from the photo.
  15. Have you considered Phellinus tuberculoses. I found one on a beech 2 months ago.
  16. Jinx! Tricky to tell isn't it. Goes to show how important it is to look at the pores, tubes, cuticle etc . They can dry and rot so differently under different conditions. I was thinking that maybe my white one emerged at the wrong time of year and was killed off by a frost then dried in the wind. Your fruiting body certainly seems to have that warty cuticle that you would expect with an old I.dryadeus Any one got a photo of a fresh one with the gutation?
  17. This is what a dessicated Inonotus dryadeus usually looks like. The tree this fungi is on is massive, road side and covered in fruiting bodies. The white I.dryadeus is on a short old pollarded oak just outside Shaftesbury. Its roadside but I wouldn't be concerned about it as the road is very rural and quiet. At Longleat they have loads of Oaks with I.dryadeus but I have not seen one that has failed. Im sure one has but I have not had the chance to view the decay. I.dryadeus does not move via root grafts and colonises hosts with airborne spores. I think the reason the Longleat estate has so many trees with I.dryadeus on is due to mowing around the trees and causing mechanical damage to the buttresses allowing the fungi to colonise the trees.
  18. It wasnt meant to be a hint or pun, nicely spotted though.
  19. Im not an expert but im going to have a stab at giving some advice Sounds like a woodland TPO. I think you can appeal if you feel there was maladministration in the placement of the TPO. Is it an emergency TPO? has it been confirmed ? If you can get the owner to enter into forestry commission woodland grant scheme the council shouldn't contest any works carried out under the scheme. If you get a felling licence from the FC for work in the woodland this over rides the TPO. Otherwise you just need to apply for consent for any works the owner wishes to carry out. It is worth noting that all trees and new saplings will be covered by the woodland TPO. Best to have a civil discussion with the tree officer, they may remove the TPO if the owner enters into a woodland grant scheme. Also best not to take my word for anything as I am not really qualified to give advice on this sort of thing.
  20. I like the ones I get. I get 2/3 weeks out of a pair but never wear them on the ground.
  21. I get similar gloves but only pay £4 for 5 pairs a man at the car boot.
  22. I think its a desicated Inonotus dryadeus Well done:001_cool:
  23. I will wait for five more guesses before revealing what I think it to be. I don't think its Phelinus. There is an Oak with phelinus igniarius at our tip site. There were 2 but one was felled. The residual wall was less than an inch for aboout 25 feet!!!!! When I couldn't ID it I started to really convince myself that it was P.quercinus but its not.
  24. We use Plantoil. I know of a forestery company who are still using waste oil n there saws. No excuse for that.
  25. Its been driving me crazy for about 7 hours but I think I know what it is.
