    I turned up this morning to a freinds yard to find his container had been compromised. Luckily it was only four brushcutters 2 blowers and a pole saw. Pain in the arse. Managed to scrounge enough to do todays job. There had been a few things leading up to this during the week. Smashed light etc so we knew they were about. Keep ya gear safe ladies

    I got some seal skinz gloves I use, waterproof. Always suffered with bad hands and feet since I was a kid. Just recently started wearing thermal top and leggings, think it helps a bit. Had it before when hands get cold and they seize so much I cant open a carabiner!

    Change the springs, I think tw do a heavy duty replacement set. Also sharpen your feed rollers.

    well the difference being you have less purchase and have to grip harder. As steve said you strength will build and it will not be a problem. I notice it when i go from a 13 to a smaller rope.
  15. markieg31
    I would be tempted to send it back. probably is a nice rope but i find the 13mm so much easier on you arms. Steve has pointed out some of the pro's of a thinner line. What have you been using up until now?
  16. markieg31
    thanks for your input scrags, much appreciated. Unfortunately i do not have a landline, something i wouldlike to have and might possibly get in the future- we do not have a line to our house so would need to be hooked up.

    Rc2001. Proper job well chuffed with mine. I like the fact it stays dead still so you can get all the slack out of the system.

    AMEN that brother. When i first dropped out of college, not something i made a habit of- was an outdoor pursuits course. I started gardening, dropping leaflets through doors, used to generate more business than i do now. i had a job just before i passed my test where i had to walk my mower (my mums actually) nearly a mile, via the petrol station to fill it up, to get to a job. Luckily i passed my test first time and i was away. clippings in a builder bag and then shoved in the car. was alright until i had run over dog eggs. they smelt great in a hot car!!!!

    talk about expploitation. national trust, one of the biggest in the country pulling huge revenues and using more and more volenteers to do the work. in some cases people are paying to work!!! crazy world. Original post. Sounds like a great opportunity for the for the right candidate although i think this maybe coming to the wrong time of year heat wise. I have done a bit of caravan living in the past. the cold shower got me so created one using the washer bottle from a car and using the light switch and battery. Pour in the warm water and it was enough for a 2/3 minute shower! Its funny beacause i used to have a dream of building a shower onto the end of a caravan. Peaked to early!!

    looks brill. not sure on colour and probably wouldn't be a patch on the old t25 where it seems to get some of it influences, that was an old school weapon. Esecially in its syncro guise.
