  1. Everyone who has never tried a mechanical device should give the ZigZsg a try.It will change the way you climb.....forever! I still have my Mark One.It is a very beautiful paper weight nowadays.
  2. I couldn't handle a night like last night too often these days.....Great fun but a bit too lively for me.Chillin out today with the other offspring
  3. my Son and his mates have just dragged me out on a Rum session......this could get very messy
  4. This is the last picture from tonight showing me in my favourite real ale pub enjoying some mulled cider.....and then....
  5. We have a great Market place in Durham with some very interesting stalls.This one serving Vegan food.Now i love a blue Steak but i like a change now and then..
  6. Then i went to get a haircut where i found some interesting reading.
  7. A day of simple pleasures today. Went to see my old Agricultural College after a 22 year absence.This place changed the course of my life and gas just had a couple of million pounds worth of rennovation done to it.....Great memories
  8. And that will be made into a table for the customer
  9. Thanks for the offers and advice Arbtalkers but as if by magic this bloke appeared in our Market place and my belt shall be ready on Tursday.And the cost?.....Two blocks of Elm.
  10. Thanks for that Mark J....will take Iron bark up on his offer...
  11. There is plenty of spare leather Mr Iron bark on the worn end...Could i mail it to you? Let me know the cost.
  12. I like the look of that Darrin! I'll see how much the Cobbler/Saddler is going to cost first.For today i am happy to say my Braces belt is holding up my new Stein Kreiger Arborist's very well.
  13. and to end my "storm in a teacup" week of high's and low's i decided to give up on my SIPS.They have given me a couple of years of service and never seen a chain.Plenty of barbed wire and brambles/thorns.Have had running repairs on the zip...crotch and pocket areas and are now wearing thin and i cant save them any more so yesterday i bought a new type.
  14. It was the first gift Mrs Fox ever bought me so it is extremelt sentimental as well as the most comfortable belt i've ever worn.I took it to Timpson's shoe repairs/Keys etc but the young lad in the shop told me there was no way to fix it??? This can't be right? I would have a go myself if i could find a needle sharp enough and strong enough to sew the leather.I think i went to the wrong shop.I need to find either a traditional cobbler with knowledge of this type of repair.Maybe a saddler? In the meantime my Stretch Air braces have been holding my SIP'S up after a modification.
  15. After eight years of everyday use holding up my chainsaw pants during the week then my jeans on a weekend my belt tore....
  16. The week started well with the arrival of our FUSO 4x4.Then disaster struck......
