Awesome film!!! Jason Bourne's hard as a coffin nail

I collect karabiners like kids collect stickers haha. Always had a soft spot for my black mongoose though cos it was the first one i bought 5 years ago,lookin a bit tattered now though. I really rate the petzal oval krabs alot but didn't rate the ball lock ones,just couldn't get to grips with them.
-
IM sure you've heard of rock city which is an amazing venue but can be a ball ache to get to play at. The old angel in notts is awesome. If your willing to travel a bit further though the town mill in mansfield is very good and they have an awesome sound guy also the intake club at mansfield. the diamond at sutton in ashfield is really good too.

I use a komet 3m at the min and am pretty chuffedwith it. As others have said building your own can be advantageous,one of our other climbers has made his own using a new england flip line with the isc grab and a swivel crab,got to say i like it more than mine.

Fishermans and blakes will be useful to know on your cs38/39. if you've got a spare few quid you could invest in dirk lignens tree climbers knotbook.

Evening all just wondered if anyone had any numbers or information for bat inspectors in the nottinghamshire area? Ive got 12 large poplars that have blown over and are all hung up,alot of them are very rotten and full of good hiding places. I usually have a good look round a tree myself but these trees are way too dangerous to climb so could really do with some advice as to wot do? Cheers all

Went zip lining through the sitka spruces in Alaska last year,was awesome,was alot of black bears roaming about with cubs too which was amazing to see as your flying through the air. the wire that they used was coated in a type of plastic,you used your hand with a glove on as the break. If you didn't fancy that idea though you could just crash into the tree fas at speed.......weeeee....crash.....owwww.....nee naw,nee naw
-
Cheers lads,i shall get spending tomorrow haha.

Of course your not too old mate as long as you enjoy the job and your body's up to it? I love climbing trees and i'll keep doin it until my body packs in haha. Best course to get on is your CS38 and CS39.
