  1. Hello bud, I'm no expert with SRT but I would say to try using the Knut hitch, it's very reliable. On your way up stick a karabiner through the hole in your pantin, that'll stop the rope from popping out. What tether have you got? I end up advancing drt when I can't throw to the top, just fold your wrench back until you've reached your tip. I'd ask on here if there's anyone who uses a wrench close to you and would be up for a rec climb, you'll learn in an afternoon what would take you a month by yourself. Until you're confident, low and slow bud 👍
  2. Persistent precipitation here in Sheffield and a bit cooler too. Been having to sleep on the floor in the spare room for the last two weeks, the only room where the window opens. Looking forward to a night in bed tonight 😃
  3. What's at 159 Dobcroft? Hope things are getting sorted for you Chris? I'd put my money on those same lads that I had that 'episode' with a few weeks ago! I have a plan......
  4. Horse flies are beasts though aren't they!? Surely you'd notice one of those chewing on your eye lid? I reckon it was one of those tiny little biting critters you get whilst doing hedges, you know the ones!?
  5. It is very good bud!! I'd be interested to see what something like that is worth?
  6. I think there's a link to them on the front page on here.
  7. <p>haha Rich, I've just noticed I'd written a message to myself instead or replying to you!! Yes thanks for the pics, saw goes like a good one now <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

  8. Haha, I'll stick with my F8 I think 😀
  9. Am I allowed 225 guesses? hehe F8
  10. Oww it does look nice in the water!! Will have to get some northern rec climbs sorted once you've settled 😀
  11. I'm sure they'll find something bad sooner or later, just like they do with everything. In the mean time though, you're only getting one bad thing instead of 3000 like in a fag. They're none cancerous and have no passive effect. Nicotine is no worse than coffee, it's just a stimulant. It was getting it through tobacco that was the killer. As a way if stopping smoking I think they're excellent 😀
  12. I've got an eGo-U battery with a mini nova top bit. The nova is the best top bit I've had and doesn't leak in your pocket! Not had a fag since Feb so alls good. It cost me about £14 to buy, and around £5 a week on juice.
  13. I presume that's where your next job is?.....and you've not just taken to wearing other people's work wear 😃
  14. I suppose it'll pull a 18 inch bar better now? I've done my 200t now exactly the same as Rich. It's brilliant!! I run a 14inch bar with full chisel chain and it pulls like a beast! The engine actually feels like it's breathing the way it should, it starts better and is far more responsive!
  15. Did it make much difference to the 346xp josh?
  16. Fill a few water bottles now and stick them in the freezer, they'll be lovely for tomorrow. They also help to keep your lunch cool when kept in the same bag.
  17. <p>Hiya Rich, I've only just seen this! Yes thanks for posting the pics. Done mine just the same as yours now apart from I used a 10mm. It now cuts on a 14inch bar with full chisel chain like a beast </p>

  18. I think I may just do that to my 200. Being honest, I can't work out how to take the exhaust off........any tips for a stupid Gerbutt???
  19. A favourite of mine was on here but I think it was more a case of clever child. They said their kid asked for some chocolate and he said, ok but just row. He came through to the kitchen later to find the kid had just taken the one row, but the length of the bar and not the width 😀
  20. Did you both take your exhausts off to do it?
  21. Ahh I see, nice one Dan, thanks for taking the time to do that 👍 From what I've seen then the base anchor is the best if you want no hassle retrieving, but you have to consider the load more. And the ring to ring cambium saver for single load and redirects, but with the risk of cambium saver getting stuck!?
  22. Hiya, your link didn't take me to it but I am trying from my phone?
