In the states they offer a discount off the quote for no clear up and the option to have them come back in the spring to clear up instead. Most customers (so I'm told) take the discount and do the clear up them selves. (Only final racking etc not full clear clear up!)

I'm so skint now! If I start work next monday (unlikely) then I will still have 2 weeks before I get paid or get it cleared in the bank! I've had everything owed to me as well so nothing coming in! Christmas is a pain! The only way to be prepared is to have enough in the bank to not worry about it and go on holidy for january, but then you might miss those vital site clearance jobs that come along for february!

Just stick it on with the velcro, whats the worst that can happen? I used both pads on the helmet and just the one large one on the mount so I can move it forward and backward as required.

They do an inhalant for teenagers who are dispondant with the world of technology around them that they can't afford............iglue

We were working to the limits of the rope not the device. I have a bigger rope for bigger bits.

Why the 4th April? Thats far too organised!! January the 31st surely?
-
You need to sleep the night in it before you can call it an igloo! Until then its just a mound of snow with a hole in it. Go on spend a night in it, they are good fun!

Thats the one, still worth a read now!

Good review!! They do a diesel now. Most diesel engines would fit into a leagacy so they designed there own, the first ever diesel boxer I believe. Subaru don't do things by halves.

A 16mm rope is capable of far more than a portawrap will allow, if you can let it run then much larger peices are possible if you use a decent bollard type device. I wouldn't have wanted to lower these on a portawrap!

It is strange about clothign isn't it!! I own maybe four pairs of suitable hiking style boots and a coupel of goretex jackets, and a down jackets, maybe 6 fleece tops/jackets numerouse hats and gloves etc. and this includes non of my workware, its just my normal clothign collection for year round use. Some poeple actually only go outside when its snowy its seems and never at any other time of year and then they wonder why they get cold. In fact they think they are cold because of the weather when it is in fact because they are not prepared for it.

Birdlip was closed, we never come that way anyway, I came up the A435 from cirencester to cheltenham, carnage! And the A40 was closed coming in to cheltenham form the east.

They are all on here somewhere......

Yes, you need 4od. Download the whole player first then choose the programs you want. I've never found it that user friendly TBH and it doesn't always work. BBCi player is far bettererer.

A non turbo 2L legacy is ideal, not too fast and good for pulling.....!! Turbos are for guys who can't pull!!!!
-
The imprezze doesn't deserve to be consdidered in the same catagory as a owrkign car IMO. Totally different car, driven by different poeple. The legacy is a workign car and the forester is better due to higher ground clearance.

I wish I had been in mine tonight instead of the LDV¬!!!!

I just got home, 20 miles in 4 hours!!!! And more to come apparnetly. Chaos on the roads, a lot of van drivers are making it worse by being tossers! I wasn't driving so I walked 3 miles ahead through the traffic jam to help push vehicles past a frozen patch on an incline, when I got there no one was helping!. I help most 2 weel drive vehicles except any with able bodies passengers, includign a few builders who expected me to push while they sat on there arses. No chance! I gave some abuse, it was all good fun.

My main camera takes them at 2304 x 1728, <4MP, which I guess is not huge compared to some cameras these days?

Oh I see. Well get your self some decent trees and then see who turn up! All you need is something to make targets with for limbwalking. We did some at westonbirt once, just used marker tape tied on the ends of branches instead of bells and then timed each other round all the markers. Worked well!

I've never resized any steve? Always seems to work ok?

HAve you got HGV tickets? If not try and get them before you leave, they will be worth as much to you as any chainsaw tickets!

I fyou want to run a proper comp then it would best to contact the ISA, they will give you the support you need. Theres is a lot more to it than just finding a location. If you just want to practice in trees (which is my understanding of what you need/want) then you just need to find some large open crown trees, preferably not single stem, Oak, beech etc are good, and get practicing. I would suggest you need a few years experience in comps before thinking about settign up your own.

Thanks....!!!

Then he should be one of those not so well paid climbers then? Often the fellign is best left to the groundie, but that depends on experience.
