I can't think that fast! That's mental!

Who cares about what the legs look like as long as they make a nice scarf

-
That is very cool! I want one!

Heal quick Pete Glad the op went well!

My google searches had pointed to ignition switch. However, I've been to uni and back today with no issues. I noticed that the rear screen heater was turned on when this happened. And doesn't do it when it's switched off! I'll have a play and see if that's the case. Power disconnection wouldn't be an issue if I took the battery out, I've done it before, the car is way too basic for the fancy stuff!

Any one on here do surveys in north Manchester
RobRainford replied to mikecotterill's topic in General chat
Is it a bs5837 Related survey? -
Upon arriving at the girlfriends about half an hour ago, I turned my car off and took the keys out, and the fans and dash lights remained on for a couple of seconds, then it all went off, but the engine management, battery and handbrake light then came back on dimly, can't understand how this has happened, been out in it today a couple of times and nothing was up. Can anybody shed any light on it? It's a Citroen c1. The last bit of work done to it was a catalytic converter in November. Never had this issue before! Cheers

All gone now!

80 pounds to deliver a spiderjack to Australia?
RobRainford replied to Hodad's topic in Climbers talk
I'd have it for £80 and pay postage too! -
Cheers. I'll be aiming to make a couple of trips out in the next month or two, hoping the next week or two actually! Want to get to croft, Dunham Massey and a day down south. Purely for data collection. I think I may need 100-150 pieces of data altogether. One half is a mixture of oak and sweet chestnut, the other the control. If it works out that oak is the easiest subject due to the amount of control specimens, I can alter the project to do just oaks. That is correct! I love me some vets!
-
Must be oak or sweet chestnut, showing active decay or reactions to, ganoderma, I. Dryadeus, they are ones I think of now but any others which oaks and sweet chestnuts can adapt to and live with I.e. basal swelling. Something that can be compared to the fistulina adaptations/reactions but when checked off on a tick list do show an obvious difference
-
I am certainly certain I'll be making a jaunt down shortly to measure up those chestnuts and a couple oaks I'm still struggling for my control trees for my project. There are just none about and it's fustrating! I'd be up for the trip in the summer too. Got two completely free weeks in may before I disappear for a moth so would be willing to go on a trip for a day
-
Yes that's the one. It's an awesome tree.
-
You'd walked right past it too. Where the chestnut is with the right angled branch, if you have that to your back and look down into the little valley, it's hiding in there. And at 4.13m diameter, it's not really hidden
-
Daisy chaining is good for shorter ropes. Makes my hands ache after doing 20m though! I flake my rope into a bag over my shoulder, been to its full length once and close a couple times. I have 45m of xtc and it doesn't twist when it comes out the bag.
-
You can come and take all of mine if you want it. Might be a bit far though!

Hitch Climber.... Am I just a big fairy...?
RobRainford replied to WorcsWuss's topic in Climbers talk
to extend your hitch away from you, buy a dyneema sling , 30 or 50cm seems to be a good length, and clip that from your bridge to bottom carabiner, no fancy knots or O rig system, really simple. -

RobRainford replied to Big Dan's topic in Employment
i think going straight onto the MSc in arb will be a big challenge if you have no previous knowledge, they usually have an assumed knowledge base, so it will be properly in at the deep end if you do that! if you can get your cs30/31 and cs38 ASAP you are valuable to companies as you are an aerial rescuer, but climbing speed and confidence comes into it if they want you to climb for them, your courses would see you as competent, but you learn once youve passed the assesments! if you are looking at an academic route, look at the FdSc in Arb, it starts at a good level, i had no previous arb knowledge and did that, was tough going but it all started to fall into place eventually. i went from the fdsc onto a bsc, which i will be finishing in may (3 years done) and it has been a great experience, and i think the masters is a big jump from BSc level. other than that, good luck with your adventure -
They do enjoy that fire

Thanks Gerrit, good to have that cleared up for myself.

more so lifted into a high pile, as i dig out of a pickup i get a pile that spreads around but is only 3ft deep. so i shove it all up. no issue if its contaminated really, it can be spread onto fields and given to all the local farmers.
