Hi I have a yale scorch climbing rope which has got damaged near the spliced eye so at the moment im using the otherr end with a bowline. id like to cut off just past the damaged bit and use that as a soft strop then get someone to splice a new eye into for me. So as per the title is there anyone near bristol or south Glos that could splice a new eye into it for me? of course i can drop it off and collect etc cheers joe 07834697366

I have an AMA top handle and am really pleased with it, from memory £125 from FR jones, runs well powerful enough for anything buy really big stuff. I use mine for weekend work and reccomend it, its very light and easy to strip/work on. negatives: chain brake very stiff to apply compared to my stihl saws makes a noise like a strimmer bit plasticy feeling petrol filler is too small for the push fill so you need a funnel but on the whole dont think youll regret it.

alright mate, is it a turbo? also had this recently took out the lambda sensor (bolts into the exhaust before the cat) give it a thorough clean with carb or brake cleaner and refit, when blocked they tell the ecu to richen the mix causing bad fuel consumption and excess smoke / exhaust gas! cheers joe

I was in a similar situation to yourself I completed a business studies degree and worked in finance for 3 years and decided it wasnt for me! I completed my CS 30,31,38 and 39 at Blake training (highly reccomended). I worked a little for free and some more for little but have now got to a point where I can look for full time employment. Good luck and any questions I may be able to help with that will help you learn from my experince so far just ask! -
Finally sold £750! well guess thats the true valuie then! somethings only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Also I love the saying "wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding" as mt Grandad used to say "wouldnt pull a hen off its nest"

Looks great mate and good fun! how long do they take roughly? Good luck with the progress

Try changing your fuel filter mate also check the oil in your engine is the correct rating youd be amazed what difference that can make.

Hi pete, just going by your signature are you a national trust head ranger? could i be cheeky and ask where? cheers -joe

Exactly what i thought to be honest! a day and half and only 5 trees should have got a shift on. Good point made re if they loved the trees so much why didnt they arrange a tpo before hand! they should look at the positives and get out there and plant some on their own land at least they have more control over them then!

this one? : BBC News - Fifty-year-old red squirrel conservation project ends if not sounds like theyve done alot of what you are doing if you could somehow get in touch! -
Get down to your local ex-army shop and get a 'deployment bag' £12 unbeleivably strong it can be carried as a holdall or as a backpack (the straps fold away for neatness) you can buy three for £36 and its a proper bit of kit. Lots of decent sized pockets and waterproff as well!

Cool stuff all sounds like it should be a good year this year, ive always just rocked up and been able to camp and never had a problem with any thefts best to just take only essentials i spose. See you all round the steam powered saw mill

Anyone off to the dorset steam fair? heading down from bristol friday camping overnight and take in as much as possible on saturday! highly reccomended if anyone hasnt been before! Beer, steam engine milling, monster trucks what more could you want from a show.
