  1. Someone (who shall remain nameless) did a similar thing to a brand new Imori so rather than sling it i salvaged the safe bit and use it as a rather nice side stop...
  2. I like that machine,i have seen it before but can it get up Crawlyside bank?

  11. There are many Regatta,s up and down the country including allcomers competitions.plenty for everyone to join..But the Oxford and Cambridge boat race is just that..A Very old tradition between The Two biggest Rival colleges.
  12. I,ve posted on this topic before but i,ll say it again..The Silky Saw, especially Nakanoto is my Favourite Arb tool,it accompanies me up every tree and is located in a Sawpod on my shin. it,s simple to access and after a while you can quick draw it ,cut and replace it second nature..no more fishing about for it, desperatlely trying to return it to it,s scabbard....The Darbyshire Sawpod is Perfect!
  13. As a senior B oarsman (Bow) i also agree with the last two comments...He almost DID get what he deserved. Decapitation!

Got the Dyneema kit, 45m of Yale Blue Tongue and even had a few pennies left for some new gloves... Just need to find a suitable tree..i live next to the Kew Gardens entrance and there is an enormous Walnut would be perfect but somehow i don,t think they,d allow that so i,m off to a Cedar of Lebanon that i use to climb down near the Thames...BUZZIN!
  20. Yep,worked there for a year...
