  1. Forgive me if I'm missing something but with that wrap handle you can't get that saw low enough for felling and the exhaust outlet is going to blow all the rubbish up.
  2. At 56 I'll climb whatever you want. Whether I could be r'sd to is another matter:001_smile:
  3. I never thought I'd be saying it!
  4. You've got it too easy nowadays:001_smile: Oh for the days of three knots and three strand. The Prussic loop and an eye in the end of your rope was a major innovation at the time.
  5. Climbing...57 in March but tree-related and enduro bike injuries mean I ache and hurt sometimes:001_smile:
  6. Probably best to buy quicks and hazel as whips. Something like 60/80 cm are cheap.
  7. Had enough of water ingress. back at home:001_smile:
  8. I think the reason they burn a lot is because of the clearview. To keep the glass clear they are always pushing air over the glass. I have a Jetmaster 5kw DEFRA approved and that shuts down enough to slumber overnight but the glass won't stay clear on full shut down. Sorry don't know whether a Clearview will shut down enough. A mate of mine has one with the same trait.
  9. Lovely. Any shots of the interior?
  10. I agree entirely. There's nothing to beat a healthy diet. However I'm always sceptical of sudden claims that certain foods that we've eaten for hundreds of years are suddenly bad for you. Be they pulses, legumes or whatever. I think as long as you eat anything in moderation it's fine. Most importantly is that peck of dirt before you die. I truly believe that modern society is too obsessed with cleansliness. Thinking back to childhood, and it's a long time now:001_smile:, I can't remember anyone having intolerances to whatever the latest intolerance is now. As a generation we were made to eat all that was put in front and that wasn't a bad thing.
  11. We're about the same distance north as you are south. Two hours according to route planner. Come and give it a go:thumbup1:
  12. How come so many of these 'wonder diet' authors and exponents are American? Is it their long tradition of Evangelism and travelling medicine shows? Seems to me that people long for a crutch and along comes the the latest clean cut, smiling Evangelist and the bandwagon's soon full to capacity. Once on it's difficult to jump ship as saving face would cause too much embarrassment. A bit like The Emperor's New Clothes. Believe nothing you hear and half you see:001_smile:
  13. It's Wimpole a few miles south of Cambridge.
  14. Won't be hard to miss then:001_smile: Should be a good day and always good to see others sections. Will you be laying Midland? See you at the draw.
  15. I've had four of them starting with a brand new one in '87 up to a late 90s version. Only thing that ever went wrong was a head gasket on one of them. Took one to Italy and back. The return journey took me twelve hours from Italian border to Dover...never missed a beat:thumbup1:
  16. Got a few in the garage. One and two man. Bought them all for a tenner I think.
  17. I'd have to disagree there. Don't think the roots would be squashed and decaying timber can only be beneficial to the tree. My original thought was that it may stabilise the rootplate a little. Also keep those sheep away:001_smile: Be nice to see it come back.
  18. We are reaping the rewards for our greed. Drainage in our greed for more 'productive' land; canalisation of meanders all in a vain attempt to move water off quickly so we end up with bottlenecks of flood water in times of plenty and dry aquifers in times of need. We need to look forward by looking back.
  19. Nice one. What about dropping a big lump of timber on the rootplate. May have been mentioned already as I've not read from the start.
  20. Either or either:001_smile:
  21. Latin names are easy. Just say it as you see it. Pronunciation won't be wrong as a Latin professor once said: 'Who knows how it's pronounced. There's no one left alive to correct us'.
