  1. Yes to both. The wear is phenomenal.
  2. Silvanus Services Home Page
  3. They certainly used to be launceston based....
  4. Yes- its the dogs danglies. DO NOT BOTHER with ANY other off road tyre, they ALL pale into insignificance in comparison. They are VERY hard wearing, and the best off road tyre short of the likes of simex which cant really be run on road. The only people who disagree tend to be those that havent experienced BFG muds. (i have tried almost every off road tyre- budget and otherwise- in the last 20 years, and wouldnt touch anything other than the BfG MT)
  5. G90s are the shittest tyre i have ever made the mistake of fitting to a landrover. good in kuwait maybe, sh it in the mud. Get BFGs and be done with it.
  6. Grampound. Anyway, its Launceston.....
  7. Sycamore- used as it is naturally sterile. and the grain closes up after being hit with such things as a butchers meat cleaver. Was/ is used for wooden utensils, chopping boards, the worksurface of the dairy (befor melamine etc) i have even supplied it to a bakery as a dough table, who argued-and won- with Food Hygiene bods, due to its above mentioned properties, that it was superior to nylon etc etc. Elm I have not heard of as a chopping board wood, but I canot see too many problems. It was traditionally the framework holding the sycamore blocks together in the butchers block, as it is very evry tough timber. In time, after many washes, i suspect it would start to deteriorate a bit, as with many coarse grained timbers. It is also alot less stable than sycamore (which will wriggle about whilst drying, then often return to flatish boards!!). Not sure that taste is a concern TBH- most woods are fairly lacking in taste once dry- esp. hardwoods. Not had decent access to arbtalk for a while- Ill pm you back now Hodge!
  8. Kernow training, redruth based (well duchy college anyway). Chris willett is one of the trainers, along with Pip Tonkin, and Alan Capel (pasty). Phone Nicky Carlyon on 01726 860 204, who is the organiser.
  9. As brian said- kernow training. Better than kensey or Lynher.
  10. On call out for tregothnan estate. Cancelled everything else until the new year..Other than a few log deliveries, I have been on holiday since 17th!
  11. Bit pricey!!

  13. Blimey. that seems a bit OTT to say the least!!
  14. Yeah they're nice.
  15. Does it sound rough and run badly? i mean theres no chance the rings are gone in one cylinder? What does the smoke smell like? And is it white or pale blue?
  16. I use those builders gloves like in your pic- rubber palms and fingers etc. You can get 3 thicknesses too- flock lined for winter.
  17. Its not a mobile dongle, its just a wireless router, but yes. Other sites ok tho.
  18. Still very slow tonight. 16kbps download speed btw.
  19. Blimey weve got it easy!!!
  20. Dull spurs in my case- I seem to find all the little bits of granite poking their heads out of the ground when i get out of the tree that werent there before the climb lol!
  21. Jeeez. That reminds me of late 70's as a kid in dorset. That was the last time i saw cars buried in undrifted snow!!
