  1. hia david that looks great wood, i would love to see some of the end products. what will you do with the planks and which parts will you use to turn . i was under the impression that you would chop the burrs off and turn them :blushing:doh!!! ray
  2. cheers lads the avatar is rob rainfords climbing day beginning of year
  3. its a shame that she couldnt be helped and i feel sorry for her family but putting it in the media the way they have just makes it normal , although i dont know the problems of stars or the pressures they might be under showing that this is how you react when you cant hack it isnt the right message to be put across imo . and im sure there are more interesting things that might be going on in the world that could still sell papers, ive just come across this FalunInfo.net - The Official Source on Falun Gong and the Human Rights Crisis in China i have never heard of this until now can this really be true ?
  4. whoop whoop just passed my cs 38/39 now the learning really starts
  5. barmouth hills at the back of the town there is also a walk over the bridge that takes the train over the estuary really nice walk over the estuary woods fields and up into hilly woodland with waterfalls etc already mentioned dolgellau precipice is good really nice views
  6. get some aloe vera on it (it works on lots of bites stings nettles etc ) make sure its 99.9 % aloe , on the other side watch out for bracken ive heard something about them giving spores off that affect breathing:confused1:
  7. take the lads out to the local country club to drown your sorrows let everyone know your dilema with said people then when lads are tanked up take them back for payment i once knew of a bouncer built like a #@*$ house that would collect money for a small percentage always worked well
  8. cheers david i will have a look at the bow line, already got my practice piece to try them on, i was quite confident about the course but then read someone elses thread about how they fared on the course and now feeling a little apprehensive im sure i will be fine though
  9. hia rob i need a saw for my climbing course although i will probably get a top handled later on i was told i would need either a stihl 180 or a husky 235 . i opted for a husky 240 14" . i just hope it will be ok for the course:confused1: im sure it will i will definitely use it though i love it cant wait to get my next one and will go back to jonesie well pleased ray
  10. cheers all the youtube vid worked well , thanks for that rob but i was just trying to brush up on anything i might have to learn on the coarse so that i dont have to learn it all there , (forewarned fore armed so to speak ) anything else you can think of that might be of use would be appreciated thanks ray
  11. cheers lads thanks for the help ive looked on the data base but couldnt find anything that resembled what i was looking for . i had found the prusic and if you watch the vid it says take a preformed prusik loop but doesnt say how to form it . im doing my cs38 /39 in a week and im cackin it dont know any knots and only ever climbed once
  12. hia peeps been looking at the prusik but cant seem to find how to make the preformed prusik loop to start it any help would be great thanks:blushing:
  13. hia mate

    im taking my cs 38 / 39 in a couple of weeks and wondered if there is anything you could suggest i might want to do to get myself prepared, the main thing im thinking is my knots maybe how to splice or loop a rope etc . ive been looking at the knots on the forum but not knowing what i would use means i dont know what to look for . also is there any reading matter i could get ive heard the tree climbers companion is good , any ideas ? i would be most grateful for any advice cheers ray

  14. lol hia mate how you doing ? if i ever share my bed i always insist on wearing protection
  15. cheers jonesie ( and plippy ) got my first saw excellent price and superior service might even take it to bed with me
  16. they are brilliant baggy , how big are they and how did you get them smooth ? knife or sand paper
  17. soz mate ill try again lolhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13451458 try this
  18. hia rob how you doin mate ? they look like the same caterpillar that were on the news , a playground in bradford completely covered in them . these werent supposed to be dangerous in any way but completely desimated a few trees Ermine moth larvae infest Bradford park ,check this out on bbc news:thumbup:
  19. hia monkey i found them in sherwood forest visitor centre , the last 2 were in the car park i know nothing about fungi except they look cool any tips on literature i can learn and identify from
  20. ive got to say good on him i feel sorry for cops cos it is an hard job and i wouldnt like to do it, but they do seem to pick on the wrong people for the wrong things . this bloke might have run a light but i bet he did it as a pedestrian would , that is while it was safe, the law is an ass imo. if you break the law whilst on a bike and you got a driving licence you can end up with points on it, but if you havent got a licence or if your a kid what then? and the camera man was right , how can you exercise the law if you dont know it. finally what did the guy do wrong to have the pc attack him ? if i attack someone because they say something i dont like or wont do as i ask them it would be ABH
  21. no worrys hama let us know if it helps you , they are normally held on an evening and you meet some great people
  22. life of brian:lol: and shaw shank redemption ace films
