2 rope climbing are we sticking to the rules
Mark Bolam replied to Thesnarlingbadger's topic in Climbers talk
No abuse from me mate, I make you spot on. Still one rope and lanyard when cutting is all I’ve done/seen down here in Kent. Probably only observed on big contracts. Might explain why HS2 budget has leapt from £55bn to £100bn! -
Can’t help with the work mate, I’m in Kent, but what was that nest? Buzzard?
-
Never. They invented these amazing things called carabiners.

Novice: top or rear handle 18v Makita for occasional use?

It really is that simple isn’t it Jack? -

With respect Ed, all you’ve achieved so far is what any half decent climber would have done in the first five minutes, so don’t expect any zero’s to come tumbling off the quote. Are you removing them now you’ve started at the bottom, or are you still intent on topping them? Or an interesting mixture of both? -
Yes, all a bit dull after the Nate video.
-
Another one to check, thanks mate.
-
Second hand would be a huge bonus for sure.
-
Yes mate, called them first. None in, don’t know when they can get them in.
-
Will do mate, ta.
-
Mascus have this one on their site mate, in Exeter. £4.5k + VAT!
-
Worth a call mate, yes, the P6 isn’t man enough. Mick, easy enough on the flat, but I have quite a steep drive in front of the workshop. It’s nice to be able to shove stuff around without hitching up sometimes. This GH64 just ticks every box. I’m not in a mad panic for it, luckily.

I haven’t got time Dan. I’m busy taking some connies down off a ladder wearing a motorcycle suit.

It’s nothing to do with brand loyalty or anything daft. No one else seems to offer a plant trailer with a 6x4 bed, bucket rest, 1230kg payload and tailgate ramp that will snug up in the workshop with my other stuff with a 3m x 1.8m overall footprint. 240kg bare and single axle also means it’s easy to handball about on my own. I’ve got a 10 x 5 Ifor on loan at the minute and the space it takes up is ridiculous.
-
Thanks mate, just called them. They have a couple on order, next January at least.
-
If anyone wants to sell one or knows someone who does please get in touch. Really niche little trailer that is perfect for both my machine and specific workshop set up. Not interested in any other models, thanks.

I’ve got no problem with a bit of DIY mate, it’s how most of us probably started! This is different level out of depthness though. -
You will need insurance and certification DSC1 and DSC2.

That’s sad. My brother used to drive him about for a bit, always said he was a really decent bloke. RIP Terry McCann

Yes and yes.

Same here in Kent Ted.

For once in my life Joe I was totally blameless. I was only 4 pints in, my nephew was on double figures by then.

I was in a portaloo outside Twickenham on Saturday, where we’d gone for my brothers 50th for the Army v Navy. My drunken nephew decided it would be fun to tip it over. Hilarious.
