Ye bro, looking at autumn or late summer, need to save up after Africa then jump ship!! NZ appeals to me more, mainly due to the mountain sports, moneys never been my motive but i would like to not be worrying about money all the time like UK. Wheres a good place to start in NZ, auckland im guessing?

Cheers Ewan! Will pick your brains at some stage no doubt! I'll get researching on Internet an start the ball rolling, looking at summer/autumn next year! As for the sheila, well i'll have to ask the missus if she's happy to share.... Some how i doubt it!

Cheers Ian, will pick your brains further on fb if thats cool! Thanks alot for the response, i had considered training in NZ depending on cost etc, although i cant see it being more than the UK. Cheers bro!

Hey there folks, Anyone in OZ or NZ tell me what the crack is re. quals and visa's. Iv'e been told that they aren't too bothered for working holidays but what about longer term? Would ISA Cert Arb do? Is there any preference from employers? Any information would be appreciated, Many thanks in advance

Can always disconnected your dbrt system, pop a ring on it and bowline to the ring with a tail, same principle as the buttlerfly just no rope on rope and i find it frees up easier.... F8, munters or 8 to reduce friction and your away. Let me know if you want a pic bro

As peter and ewan said! I generally chuck a throwline up as ewan said as i often forget to leave end of my rope over a branch...
