Lovely.

Is your guide (rail, ladder or whatever) bent maybe?

Kathmandu?

Meant in the nicest possible way, sir.

I was right then! I assume you just scare the trees into taking themselves down.

Out of interest, Don, how tall, heavy and built are you? From reading about and seeing pictures of your work on here (which I think is very good btw), my guess is that you are a monster that swings a 66 in a tree like a big silky.

Too easy!

Big plate, kinderscout! Thanks for the advice, Steve. Are there any tricks you can perform on a bowl/plate base to make it not rock/rock less when it's warped?

I was imagining dinner plates more than anything else but it doesn't really matter. Does stuff warp more if it's flatter, ie doesn't have the high sides of a bowl?

Has anyone done any plates?

This thread needs more jomoco. He's probably busy re-attaching his groundsman's arms in the field or something.

I laughed.

Looks like the cherry we've got. No idea whether it's wild cherry or some other. Very straight looking stem you have there. A lot of ours is very twisted.

I might go and have a look as an excuse to take the bike out. Very close to another arbtalker btw.

Whereabouts, monsieur eggs?

Your coat, sir.

Have you considered the benefits of advertising these chains in a video, Rob? Perhaps some kind of race?

The NHS sometimes works. It's amazing what you can do with 70,000,000 people's money.

Adventure motorbike forums will have solutions.

Saw it on the news and thought it might make its way onto here. Maddening stuff.

Already happening in the UK. There's one in/near the Lake District that's been talked about on here.

How has nobody mentioned people who don't run back from the chipper?!

It was a sod getting the photographs with it on me. Poor light here. And a poor photographer here. Harness still doing sterling service, thank you very much! Finally added a saw hook. Will FB you a pic.

I've been using a chest harness for the last few weeks. That one was 25mm webbing. I just made another with 38mm webbing (not tested in earnest yet but I don't imagine will be very different apart from a bit more comfortable). I like using it and can't see myself going back to not using it. Even for quite gymnastic climbing, I forget it's there. Pros: Back/shoulder support. Keeps harness up with stuff hanging on it. You can use one of the orange quickdraw tapes looped under your bridge and whatever's on your bridge (the other tape stays against your body) to pin your friction device to your stomach/chest. Nice for SRT ascent. This also keeps you upright when hanging (sometimes good, sometimes bad but you just slack the tape off at the shoulder if you need to stretch/lean backwards). Cons: Slight shoulder chafing (when in a shirt only and that was with the 25mm webbing). Not painful, just noticeable. Hoping 38mm webbing will solve entirely or almost entirely. Bits used in the setup pictured (you can, of course, use whatever tat you have lying around and change stuff for your harness/needs): ~2m of webbing a ladderlock buckle a triglide (not necessary if you knot/sew the ladderlock on) a maillon 2 quickdraw tapes (rock climbing gear) a snapgate with a smooth nose (smooth nose good if you have a little bit of string on your Pinto pulley and clip into that to keep it high to tend better) Hope this is useful to someone.

I've found the best way to get rid of a community speed watch scheme is to cycle past them naked and then drag them into court with you afterwards. Naked cyclist wins appeal - News - East Anglian Daily Times
