  1. Was climbing 10 or so Ash to do bat inspections. Had non climbing bat expert so set up a base anchor so he could lower me in an emergency. 5 minutes to de-rig and set up next tree. Massive effort saver. Lovely stuff.
  2. You using the wrench now?
  3. Think I was just a fat little piggy to be honest!
  4. Had a couple of wobbles, namely Digestive biscuits but still cracking on. Still been going out at weekends and doing a fair few beers. Going to knock drinking on the head for a bit. Still lost just over 2 stone though
  5. Well done MOG, who won the ladies? Was the 17 competitors including the ladies as well?
  6. Wet one from a Cedar
  7. I see, I know that they were sold as complete units in USA and thought that you were doing the same. No worries!!
  8. Are you selling them with the positioner or the cinch?
  9. Bumpity bump! I must have a crystal ball..... Half way there
  10. I was exactly the same mate. Bread and Crisp were my downfall. Give it a month though and you'll be amazed how much you don't miss it!! I've lost over a stone and a half in less that 2 months without excercising, just cutting out crap food!!
  11. Ouch. Good find!
  12. 16 strand rope has most/nearly all its strength in the cover. The core is there to stop the rope flattening and to keep its shape.
  13. I see mate. I've got a little Dmm chalk bag I was going to stuff it into to solve that!
  14. Drew or Old Mill, What is the benifit of having the elastic that goes all the way through the rope? Wouldn't it do the same if it was just attached to the top of the Croll/Basic? Sorry if this is a really obvious one but I've not seen one of these in the flesh. Cheers
  15. Had a few nights on the beer but going to knock that on the head for a while (after Easter!). Being fairly strict, have 5 crackers with mature cheddar as a bit of a treat every now and then. Stayed off bread and criaps which were my main problem! Loving bacon and eggs though and having a lot of fish. You still sticking to it?
  16. My project over the next week or so is to splice one of these up. Ewan has sent me a photo of his system so I'll have a crack! Pictures to follow!
  17. Does the outline not look slightly "phallic"?
  18. You have to be certified for each specific rope I think
  19. Thats brilliant!!! I like that a lot!!
  20. Going back a few pages, If you "can't" buy a top handle saw without showing a ticket, how does anyone ever get qualified? "I'd like to buy a 201 to do my cs39 please" "Sorry" It was needs an element of common sense
  21. adidas Copa Mundial | adidas UK 50 quid last night. Always fancied a pair
  22. This is lovely Roasted Tomato Soup | Paleo Grubs
  23. Thats a great picture
  24. Look at the dates. Kevin (the guy in the video) is the guy who developed the rope wrench. The F8 system predated the wrench but the principles are the same. It went F8 Wood wrench ZK1 ZK2:001_smile:
