  2. 'step the ceilidh on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe'
  3. its just sleeves, and a long u bolt that holds them onto the grab, really good. no use for bricks and boulder but excellent for soil,sand,chips and now coal. it is 2 really heaped wheelbarrows worth. it is pretty awkward to unload, but i am getting better and we have sussed a pretty good angle, i was out for 6 hrs but i was probably unloading for about 3.there isnt much room so we had to move to let the wagons move,bobcat was clearing away my stuff but we werent aloud to work together. but a really good we number i think. oh and these guys love stopping for a cuppa, and it is an hourly rate:001_smile:

  14. all i know is the train engine bit weighed 185 tonnes and its horn was awesome. i am going to ask for a shot next time i am there. the horn and the train. i take it you enjoy a bit of train spotting
  15. when no ones about you will get a 40 foot branch first time, the bigger the audience the worse you get. imo
  16. heres a pic, not very good but better than nothing
  17. didnt know that, good pub quiz fact mate.
  18. friction is your friend, but when it is round something big at a crap angle plus bouncing off another limb, then its a pain. when you are younger and superfit and climbing full time it was never an issue, but i am certainly open to new ideas, but most of the time i am scrambling about conys:001_smile:
  19. i had to dead wood monster wide oaks and sweet chestnuts on a golf course. it was a nightmare doing it with my basic techniques. i used my throw line for that but could really of done with some of the fancy we pully things, the friction from the rope round a big limb was a pain in the arse.
  20. DONG that was the on the front page of our local rag. hilarious. got some pine looked out, going for it later. it has been lying for 5 years so it will be as dry as a bone and well stringy, perfect for demo. do you want picked up from ferry mate.
