    I have a few of the Arborwears and rate them as well. You sweat just as much but you’re still comfy, unlike cotton. The Pfanner that Steve mentioned is an excellent bit of kit as well. Cool, fast-wicking and hard wearing. I changed the logo on mine to ‘Kappa’ though, because I didn’t want folk thinking I’m stupid.

    Yeah Steve, you idiot.

    If travellers want to stop being labelled as thieves they should stop stealing stuff. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

    I don’t get that. If you’re trying to make cool chainsaw trousers why make them in black?

    Just stick some cheap bog roll on with sugar/water solution, it will probably be stronger.

    Thinking about it, Arbtalk was the single biggest gamechanger for me. Cheers Steve.

    Which means I’ve got to give a big-up to the Ropewrench. Cheers Kevin!

    All of the above, and I’ll chuck in a Pantin (other brands are available, and better) and SRT for access.

    Bigger tree than it first looked there Steve. Well done Fatty!

    Sport? That’s a business plan round here.

    What a bastard he is. I saw him twisting your arm up your back.

    I’ve seen your climbing career Eggs. Funniest 5 minutes of my life.
  13. Mark Bolam
    Even if you make something like a fire?
  14. Mark Bolam
    Yes you can. But he won’t pay it.

    Cutting back trees without having permission to access them normally has a poor outcome in my experience.

    I feel your pain Marcus. Started off a cracker down here in Kent but has now clouded over a bit. Away camping tonight until Sunday, forecast looks pretty good for most of it.

    Aye, there's a spine in there.

    Haggis.

    @Gareth Phoenix?

    Mick is spot on. Adjust it so the gap is smaller. The correct gap measurement is ‘a fanny’s hair’.

    I might just go with bacon and wine. Then more wine with cheese after.

    Scrounging fucker. Good job not everyone has his attitude.
  23. Mark Bolam
    That sounds good, I'll be giving it a go.

    Grilled chicken, cut up, mixed with pesto and pasta. Toms, cucumber and lettuce on the side. Bosh.

    Food for thought VI. Problem is that age isn’t equal. Some will hit say 65, hitch their Daily Express grey elasticated ‘comfort trousers’ up to their armpits, snooze all day and stink of piss. Others will still be climbing commercially and drinking 10 pints a night then taking the barmaid home. I’m going out in a blaze of drugs and whores at 51.
