  1. Bit of a sweeping statement. Ramblers are often the only people who will fight to keep rights of way open when land owners like the charming van Hoogstraaten try to block them.
  2. Told him it was the equivalent of doing PE in your pants for forgetting your kit.
  3. I told Spike that he had to use it as he hadn't brought a strimmer with him.
  4. 1 tonne Sankey which is fine for being towed around the estate behind my Isuzu. Only issue with it was I had to put a height-adjustable hitch and a combination towball on the truck but when a decent trailer is offered to you for £250, you don't mind.
  5. If you don't need the money or the space, keep them both.
  6. He got it off Geoff.
  7. Sorry to stay off topic, Spud. Geoff, when you drop the chip off, mention the Scythe then. I think one of the guys who did the work on it is also called Geoff.
  8. No apology needed. I haven't looked at it myself but if you coud post a pic that might be helpful.
  9. They are happy for you to bring your metal detector and could do with picking your brains about an Allen Scythe that will only turn one way.
  10. I think Arb is very similar to driving. A qualification is something that allows you to go out and start learning.
  11. I used to get £120 a day for me with a 357 and my axe.
  12. Cheers mate. It's only one that was laying around at St L's. I thought I would see if I could sort it out as a spare for Ian to practise on. Btw, shame you couldn't make it yesterday. I think you might grow to like the 'drome.
  13. Ok, I will give it a try if I get a chance to disappear into the workshop tomorrow.
  14. Cheers both, will give it a (gentle) go tomorrow.
  15. Seriously???
  16. Is that a sawn end underneath it?
  17. Phew, I thought somebody had been despoiling our lovely county.
  18. I think you can ask the mods to do it for you.
  19. That's bad, mate. Where was it?
  20. Did somebody want 'their' view improved? My first suspect would be any developers nearby who would benefit.
  21. I have a Makita DCS 340 from the late 1990s with the starter cord hanging out. I've got the nut off the flywheel but can't see how to get the flywheel off to get to the starter pulley behind. There doesn't seem to be any room to get a puller around it? Help!!!!
  22. If you are making money from it then that is great. For those like the OP who are receiving a derisory amount for the chip, plus the inconvenience of storing and loading it, and who have a suitable site offered to them, my suggestion is a viable alternative.
  23. We use it as a mulch around trees and beds around the estate. Having worked in Arb for a few years before taking on my current role, I know how invaluable it is to have a network of places to dump chip on '2 truckload days' when working away from home and so am pleased to offer a service that is mutually beneficial. We don't get tonnes and tonnes of the stuff in but we get enough to get by. We can always use more though.
  24. I initially got in touch with a company online called Brixworkwear and they then put me in tough with a lady called Cordelia Wagner at Haix in Germany. I sent them a few photos of the problem and they asked me for the serial number which is on the label inside the boot under the size. She then arranged a new pair for me.
  25. I had the sole split on mine after 18 months and Haix sorted me out a new pair with no arguments.
