With the pantin on I usually let my leg do all the work, one hand on each end of the rope, for stability and upright-ness more than anything. The other leg I swing for a bit of momentum and to stop me spinning
-
Would it not mean the ascender was pointless as it wouldn't go up very far without hitting the bottom of the sj? Otherwise you'd have to put it much further away? 2ft perhaps? I've always found a pantin on it's own does the job on ddrt, hand ascenders are a bit cumbersome considering the 2' pull/1' gained scenario. I may have to try it out again though...

With the top pulley on a moveable positioner or tied of at anchor? Tried both with a lj, worked nice but need to be on a long tether with a pulley tied in close as a fairlead

Someone else got their hands on steves pc and started pressing things, perhaps someone young?

Seen the same thing inside decayed sycamore and horse chestnut, the latter covering a distance of about 25 ft!

Brilliant

By mistake, per chance?

Hatfield forest Essex rec climb Sunday 27th
Dan Curtis replied to Joe Loggs's topic in Climbers talk
I was hoping you'd say that! Might as well make a day of it! -
Trying to start something similar on the mainland uk, if it takes off it might be worth a little travelling. Watch this space....

I'm coming! As I've already posted elsewhere I'm travelling from Lincoln with a few spare seats so anyone in need of a lift let me know. See you there! -
Was thinking the same thing.I'll let you do it as it's your place:thumbup: I'm coming from lincoln with between 2/3 seats in the car if anyone wants a lift along the way? I'll repost that on the new thread too. Be coming down the a1 so if you let me know somewhere we can meet up that would be cool. Dan

This week would suit me best if possible? The 27th I think that would be.
-
Well up for it! Will have a look in the calendar tonight when I get in and let you know which would be better for me. Il try to bring a few guys from work too
-
Seriously? That would be cool if possible!
-
Glad too see there is a bit if interest. I'll start questioning some potential site owners/managers and see what I can sort out. I reckon it'll be best to wait until spring time weather wise. I'll keep you all posted on any plans. Cheers for the responses guys!

My strech airs didn't last well at all. Sip seemed harder wearing to me

The odd bit of cash but the most memorable had to be two freshly shot partridge, complete with feathers, guts and shot still inside!

Ditto

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind:thumbup:

There is always one! They go that way every day so can't possible deviate from their course regardless of what's happening. Seen people tear down tape, move or climb over barriers, sprint under a BIG load on the rigging! Nearly had to tackle a cyclist earlier this week and then inform her she was headed the wrong way up a major road into the path of a bus!
-
I'd be up for it anytime but if it's gonna be a bar/camping thing i thought it might be best to wait for spring. Just testing the water at the moment to see what kind of interest there would be before I organise something and no one turns up!
