Been a while Daniel, good to read you again. Hope things are good for you Stateside. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's because they grow quickly when you have to replace them Kev. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That would have left the rescue climber with a dangerous harness to perform a rescue in.

Worrying.

I thought that as well Burgess. Like it or the sub-750kg market will sell more chippers than any other.

You sound like the sort of bloke who would decapitate himself to cure a toothache. We're a democracy, the majority voted to leave, get over it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes mate, all last week at my mates new house sort of midway between Nefyn to the North and Abersoch to the south. Cracking time, total mixed bag of weather every day, but we were prepared for that. Beaches, rocks, woods, pubs, wine, roofing a barn, it had the lot. We'll be back for sure. Not much talk about Brexit, Islamic Terrorists or politics. More 'we better open another bottle of red while watching 'Valley Uprising' (highly recommended)' and having a great time with the kids. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

We are mate. I was up to 30kg in one sitting (hot chilli), but reverted back to body weight only when I hit 60 stone. I will admit it's affected my climbing, I need 3 harnesses now, and climb on 6t bull rope. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

You know what it's like Pete, with sketchy stuff like that you're always a bit feared of fannying around with what may potentially be the only decent timber available. Anyway, was the timber milled? It would be such a shame to waste it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Perfect. Here's Dutchie at the top of Carn Fadryn in North Wales last week. She had a pretty boring time actually because I was mainly carrying one of the twins (they are two). Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

[emoji23] Brilliant! I mix it up a bit mate, I was up to 30kg on a dip belt for sets of 8 but I had a pec tear so I've laid off the weight and just knock out sets of 12 body weight keeping elbows in and pretty upright. Just going to parallel but no lower. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Nice one Castanea. Where are those shots taken? Looks belting. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Just watched the vid Reg. That was a shitbag alright, reminded me of Mr. MacMahon on the Tahune Airwalk gum in parts. What was the story of why it was left like that? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That was really well explained mate. I'm smashing the dips at the minute. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The future's bright!

Could the Conservatives not form a coalition with Labour? The government would then have a huge majority, and if they all kept their pre-election promises things would surely look very rosy indeed.

I'd go with that Dan. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Breaking news- Guaranteed no more moaning from Eggs, possibly for the next 5 years! Arbtalk will be pretty dull. Need to catch up for a beer if we can this summer mate. We might as well just crack each other one early doors to get the political shite out the way then help each other pitch up and get on it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Top marks to Les and everyone involved. I like mine so much if it exploded every year I'd just buy another. Definitely more useable to my mind with a separate foot loop. Cheers for that advice Rich and Matty F. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Your spelling is getting worse with age Mick. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Well said Steve.

Dutchie would be my Home Secretary.

I reckon I could be an MP Mick, I tick most of those boxes.

I feel your pain mate. I had a pretty similar situation today doing an annual trim on a 10' conny hedge when we were told we had to leave the section above the hedgehog house. That was a game changer. Mrs. Mortley got the teas in half way through, and that gave us the chance to reassess. We left the section above the hedgehog house. Still a fairly intense couple of hours. We both walked away with no damage mate, that's the main thing.[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

There's a piss-easy way of doing it. Mark that's the one I mentioned to you but I never got round to putting that order in. I'll ring you tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
