Great vid Wayne, that was well up there! I would have had a bit of disco-leg for sure! Normally I hate pegs, but I start leaving them like that when the top skinnys out. Nice views from up there, lovely area.

Cheers ma man, and thanks for the PMs fellas.
-
Sorry mate, forgot to put :001_tt2: after my last post! Sounds like a real help to any of the lads working up that way.

Looked at a job today which would involve us leaving a lot of Hornbeam stumps, including old coppice stools 5' across. It's a lot of grinding. Does anyone know of anyone in Kent with a serious tractor mounted grinder?

Do it. I reckon this interweb thingy will end up being quite popular. I think in the future a lot of people will have interweb.

How much are you paying mate?

I would have thought Egger would have had all the chip you could shake a stick at?

Ditto. Try Justins mob, but they seem to make your staff look fat and ugly?

Scary stuff Rover. Remember one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

Master of the understatement Mate! Tie it to the back of Tim Craigs wee Suzuki when he's not looking and laugh as he drags it off down the road with his music turned up full chat.

After 16 pages, Big J has sorted the argument once and for all. Next - Stihl or Husky?

Nice one mate. Can't wait. Will there be a hot tub?

Joe, it's in pics 'Lunge thread', think it's about p57
Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll sort a link out.

Anyone who saw Skyhuck comprehensively outclimb a load of much fitter people over 20 years younger than him last weekend will get this. Janey has got it. There's an old Northumbrian saying; 'If you're good enough - you're good enough'

Good to meet you Joe. I was well disappointed to find out that you aren't a midget, mind.
-
Nice job Ian. Must have burnt it all on site ay, looked pretty smokey first thing. Bet it was a buzz.

My opinion? An average girl wouldn't cope as well as an average man, same as an average 45 year old wouldn't cope as well as an average 19 year old. When was the last time you met anyone average being a successful arb?

Aye well done lads!

Could I remind you two about forum rules on bullying? Pack it in. He's not even ginger or fat.

It's a shame Steve. Had Frank been running the comp. he would have had no such scruples....

Pic. Remember, the strap is not strictly part of the rigging system, it just holds the unit tightly in place.

Ha ha. Can so, I know the granny and the reef now, but I can't get them as tight as I can a 5T ratchet strap! 19mm Yale Whoopie.

I use a 5T rachet strap on the top eye of the RC2000, through a crab, to crank it nice and tight so it doesn't flop around like a portawrap (which I hate). Makes it more bollard-like. Really rate mine, so easy to use. Can't comment on the Treerunner.

Van insurance renewal bandits
Mark Bolam replied to Salix Tree & Countryside's topic in Insurance Forum
Same here Mark (see my Transit ins. thread). Direct Line gave me a great quote, until they found out my Transit tipper was, erm, a tipper. Worth a try. LV refused to give me a quote because my vehicle was 'too high performance'.
