  1. Where I reading are you working silky?
  2. Where abouts are you from hiluxstihl? Am I right in thinking your Irish?
  3. Could I use a running bowline at theTIP point then attach a throwline to the knot and when I come down just pull the knot down the rope with the throwline?
  4. Do you get used to not being able to retrieve the rope from the ground?
  5. And thanks for the advice
  6. I have a pantin already. What rope length do you generally use?
  7. Ah I've been reading it about seven wks now and I think I've picked up a fair bit. I just want to know what people would recommend as a good, possibly cheap start point?
  8. The more I see and read if this SRT craic the more impressed I am. How do I start? What do I need? Can I start without a rope wrench?

    Climb

    I should have, but I did leave a line going round the first branch to make it easy to get a rope up next time

    Climb

    Had a climb this morning on ashampstead common. Really big pine, gnarly thing. Good climb though I got a bit of flu so was sweating like a pig:)
  14. g Went camping in savernake back in June, pitched under a massive beech tree. This dead beech was class, it's hard to see in the photo but there is a Douglas fir growing out the top of it.
  15. We worked on the 100 guinea tree recently in The Vyne NT property. Massive tree, lots of decay. They are planning to build a structure to hold the tree up if it fails as it is leaning over tge road.
  16. Ha ha I'd say it's around 18 or 19 metres. My rope wouldn't reach the ground from the top anchor point on the way down. It was the easiest one I've climbed, some are hard to get into.
  17. Climbed a Wellingtonia in Tilehurst this morning. Really gorgeous morning for a climb and got right to the top. Excellent spot as well right in Tilehurst village.
  18. Maintainance fitter and plasterer although the first bored me senseless!!
  19. Hey all, does anyone use one of these? What are they like compared to lockjack, spiderjack? Cheers
  20. Hi does anyone know where you can but webbing slings? Not the taped ones just the actual webbing so you can make them up to whaever lenght you want. Cheers
  21. 80m, really? Must weigh alot? What rope do you use?
  22. It does seem good in that u can switch over quickly. What length of rope do you use for SRT?
