  1. 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.
  2. 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. Hey all I'm just wondering about SRT. How exactly do you set it up, I don't really know much about it. What are the advantages? Is it easy to set up? Anybody got any pics or diagrams? Cheers
  19. Hi all I've just cut out 2 pieces of walnut which are around 31/2 ft by 10inches and 3inches thick, I'm wondering does anyone know I could get them dried? Cheers --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?j4pm1c
  20. I have just done what drew recommended, using a pulley instead of just the rings makes it so much easier. I went down to a big ash by the river and tried it out and it was class. It seems to take way less effort to move around with the pulley.
