  1. Obviously used but no cuts or tears. Been wrapped up in a bag in shed for a year. Just had a quick look at tags as wife is having a go. They are the large +7cm leg ones. I had a new zip put in them not long before I got current pair. Only replaced them as got bargain on current ones. Let me know mate
  2. Hold on. I'll go and have a look and see if I can get a picture:001_smile:
  3. Not heard anything back from Moonie so have a pair of large Stretch Airs going if anyone is after a very decent second hand pair:001_smile:
  4. Plan on adding a bit on top for import tax as well mate. I had 4m of rope and a jumper sent from Oz. Post office wanted £27 to release it:sneaky2:
  5. Don't know if its any use to you, but pet shops sell antlers as dog chews. Only 5 or 6 quid. Don't know if they'd be any good to you for what you need...
  6. No worries. I know Dave has one, but you're on here a bit more!!
  7. :001_smile:Chill Winston!! haha!! I have to see one in the flesh to appreciate it I think. I've seen Dan Curtis climb on a Unicender and its rapid. I've been playing with solid tethers on the wrench 2 and the way that advances the hitch. I'm still at the stage where I need to actually get hold of a Hitch hiker and experiment with it before I can get my head round it if that makes sense!! Because its fairly new to the market, I think there will be an element of confusion till lots of people get to see one. There aren't many video showing the process clearly at the moment. I can see both sides of the discussion and written text is always hard to convey feeling and meaning. But WW, just from my interpretation, some of your posts appear to come across as the Hitch Hiker is the best thing in the world and amazing (it may well be!!) and that my be where Ewan is coming from. The safety point is an important one, but in fairness, you are at the moment probably the best person to comment on that for all of us as I think you are one of the only guys on here that is using a Hitchhiker and posting on here, which is great!!. But that may be where wires are getting crossed, there are loads of people commenting on the wrench so some of it goes unnoticed whereas I think you're the only one pushing the Hitch hiker which makes it more noticable:001_smile: I for one am enjoying this thread as I like to make sure I understand something before I get involved with it so please, neither of you stop posting as this could prove to be useful to others that aren't, maybe everyone needs to not think things on here are personal and just crack on!! Right boys, back to your corners...... Ha ha!!
  8. Spikes on the inside and try not to stab your other foot! Don't smash them in hard and try not to hit your rope. Whatever you move your flip line, thats the distance to move your feet. As stated above, nice sharp gaffs and away you go! Make sure they're tight and sitting properly underneath your heel
  9. Cheers:001_smile:
  10. Did Paul send you a HH Pete. If so, how do you find it?. Sorry if you've already answered this but I've not gone through whole thread.
  11. Great pictures.
  12. What about a revolver?

    Pancakes

    Cup of flour, cup of milk, pinch of salt, whisk then into a hot pan. Serve to wife with lemon juice and sugar. Don't make enough for yourself so drink a Sol and eat crisps. Everyone is happy!
  14. I've got an S3 and just got a Galaxy 10.1 tab. Really happy with both. Didn't want to pay mega bucks for an iPad when this will do the same for £130 less! I will say that I'm getting really bored of everyone telling me that I should 've got an iPad though then not being able to give me any reasons why!!
  15. A- Wait until new ones arrive. and B- Perhaps read a book or take up a new hobby?
  16. I received the one you sent Dean. Thanks, Sorry for not saying.
  17. Done!
  18. Ha ha. Fair point actually! Here is a pic of the Cooper. Surprisingly good:thumbup1:
  19. Really pleased with it mate. Works a treat with the cooper hitch. Gutted I didn't go on Saturday now. I'll have to make more of an effort. I had a couple of beers the night before and didn't wake up till 11:blushing: I'll make sure I go to the next one. (Ps, don't look forward to meeting me, I'm not very interesting! )
  20. Cheers mate. Tachyon was wet so was using imori. Not bad but something about it I can't quite put my finger on
  21. Lets see if this works. I'm sending it from my tablet and I'm not used to it yet. [ame=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SqARpzrNA]Rope Wrench Stiff Tether - YouTube[/ame]
  22. Really sorry to hear this mate. That is an ungodly amount of gear to lose. Will keep an eye out
