  1. Final challenge, What is this structure in central park intended for?
  2. I would of been very impressed with Incheon, however Dalton trees was absolutely bang on with Songdo city. It was the hotel location provided by Korean air. Our best and quickest ever airline to NZ and back. Hotel was excellent as well. Some of the infrastructure looks as though it was banged together in a hurry, footpaths etc. Still impressive and we never got a look around as such because it doesn't come to life until 10.00 am. Our coach took us back to the airport at 10.30am. We arrived at the hotel around 7.30pm the night before. So not really a good look at the place. Here is a few more photos. Taken in "Central Park" another copy:001_rolleyes:
  3. Very impressive answers so far. I will reveal it tonight as I don't want to prolong the misery. Here is a couple more in the meantime. 1st one I snapped on the coach heading back to the airport, It could be a pet shop or butchers I reckon:confused1: The next 2 are the bridge that connects where we stayed to the airport. It took most of the 20 or so minutes to get there being on the bridge.
  4. As featured in the buildings
  5. Another one for the trees, wrapped in hessian and all but welded into place with bamboo poles. I was suprised at the quality of trees, being bendy and not uniform. However it might be their style!!
  6. :laugh1:I did send a couple of Lumpurs down the luxury bog, whilst heating the seat from the control panel
  7. Had to look up Portree. No sorry Stephen, its definitely not in the UK or Europe. Some impressive responses so far. As yet no one has the answer. Now do I keep going and let the thread go until I have used my intended photos. Do I pm the people who get it correct? It was minus 7C that day, I felt it as I only had Jeans, T shirt and sweater. These photos were brought to you with very hard and shrunken nipples! No photos of these, they were mine. However another picture.
  8. Recently we went to NZ for a holiday. Our stopover was in a place I have never been before. I will keep posting pictures and eventually reveal the location. My camera does not have Gps:001_tt2: Three people on here know where I have been so would appreciate it if they kept quiet, I wont name them as their inboxes may get busy. Each picture will give a further clue. First picture shows a few things to help narrow location.
  9. What about the sugihara ones Chainsawbars sell? I got a couple in 13 and 15 inch. To try out, but really you do need to be on a big bar to gain the advantage. I am impressed at the sugihara quality. Looking at the one posted above, I would of thought it would be stronger from a twist point of view if the insert was 2 0r 3 instead of 1 long one?
  10. Enrieb, I'd still be typing that if my typing finger wasn't sore and I had given up. A+ assignment and A+ for debate/ reasoning. I Have yet to watch glamourised climbing.

    Ash down?

    It could also be a graft failure but very unlikely, so bear it in mind but don't fret about it. As treecreeper says rotten roots are hard to determine, especially if the tree looks sound all the way to the floor. On here are numerous posts about sudden failure. One in the last year was about the poplar in London that suddenly went in the daytime. Realistically its nature and things decay, its part of life. Trees also shed large limbs when they are stressed due to drought. This is documented well at Kew gardens and they proactively take such limbs off before it occurs. Personally, I'd just do the obviously potentially dangerous that needs doing. Enjoy the woods and put tents etc out of reach of tree failure distances.It is very rare a tree fails on to people, when you think we are in proximity of them often.
  12. Happy teamwork, everyone pulling their weight. It would take us weeks to find and train such a team. Good find

    Ash down?

    Root plate rot, I dont know the specifics. It could be a tree that was once felled and regenerated a new trunk and subsequently is only rooted on one side and undermined by dead stump at the other. The local scout wood to me is the same and hardly has a decent mature tree due to this,
  14. When sweeping or raking on your own. Stand with a heel in two corners of a dumpy bag or other. With feet apart to keep the flat bit at the bottom tight, then rake/sweep between legs into bag.
  15. I recognize the tractor as well. Its an former eastern bloc make, is the engine air cooled ? Nice none drag log mover as well
  16. Aye he's like a terrier when he gets set about something. Stihl customer service desk staff have probably had to take sick leave due to a persistant caller. Cheaper to change policy than pay many staff sick leave. I received a spaldings catalogue this week. It says please ring us for any stihl parts etc and they list several items in full photo glory. They do online sales and Ive never met anyone from that company.
  17. Environmental protection agency? The instigator of those non tamper carb screw caps. PAH! PARTY POOPERS.
  18. 1st one looks as though its for domestic users on corded saws, takes the guesswork out of the tensioning for weekenders.
  19. Had a little play on my recently spuderized 346xp today, albeit with a brand new 13inch bar and chain with 8 pin sprocket rim. It now runs with ease and speed beyond its previous performance. I have to agree on the reduced fatigue factor with porting. The only question in my mind whilst using it was, it would cost virtually nothing for the manufacturers to incoperate porting so why don't they? Emissions and sound levels?? Is all I could come up with.

    Sawdust

    http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/milling-forum/64934-sawdust-disposal-options.html Personally I keep it an mix into compost.
  21. Keeps occuring on nursery stock, I hav'nt seen it on sycamore, but have on norway maple, apples, beech, ash and several others. Kent James, is like cloning.

    Overloaded

    Not really overloaded, just badly loaded with poor lane discipline. A kiwi having a back yard tidy I think.
  23. Yes cherry, drawn up long and narrow due to competition for light.
  24. Fair enough point as KJ says as well. Caravans can be a pain on the roads, I suppose a portion are run like this by numpties with no savvy, but on the other hand Iv'e seen many others in driveways and on storage sites with wheels taken off for security(which anybody with any numption could test before fixing the wheels on) and other fastidious preparations taking place before "The big Weekend" I suppose these regulations like most will effect everyone, due to the those that create risk.
  25. Good read, I had an accident in 2002 with "a poorly matched combination" A land rover 90 and a 16ft ifor ifor williams. The trailer had a few broken leaf springs in a set. I was only doing 40mph. Whilst every test would of picked up this problem how long would the danger of been there? The company went to court and got fined because it had no maintainance plan in place with appropriate records to verify. I got away with it as I was not the regular driver and was only driving it home that night. Even with that experience, I don't think testing will make much difference, I reckon the problem is we used to have the plod dealing with all traffic situations, now we have the self funding vosa, police hang back and are no longer competent at being confident in handling agricultural vehicles flaunting basic regulations and the complexity on a par with quantum mathematics required with dealing with their interpretation of heavier vehicles and trailer combinations. This time Im with the caravan club, lets face it, they drive to camp site and drive back now and then. How many miles do caravans actually do. They probably keep there tyres until they perish or get scrapped! They probably deserve an exemption anyway as they wrap them up and treat them like a family member!
