    Cheers Pete. I'll tell him, but it might take longer if he gives it to me to fix

    Well that's it. I'm done. Been a good week, with a few decent trees and a fencing job. Going to miss it, but I reckon I've made the right decision.
  3. It's good to see you and your lad together. To be honest you both look in better shape than the first pic

    Cheers. It's for my local dealer. Only a mile or so from home. I'll still be doing the odd job here and there on the weekends.

    Cheers Steve. Definitely a good time. Knackered my body when I was young and foolish! Looking forward to it, they'll have someone who's actually used the stuff they sell. Hopefully I'll be sorting all the climbing equipment

    Loads of things. I'm 37 so still very able to the job, but been fed up of feast or famine. Also got another kid on the way, so want something steady. It's my local dealer so already know the lads.
  7. After 20 years in the job, I'm changing my career. Instead of climbing and using saws, I'll be selling them and fixing them. Looking forward to it. Starting Monday, so will see how it goes
  8. Got a job coming up in Barrow near Whalley, just waiting on TO permission. It's white poplar might be able to sort something
  9. How have you got on. Have you managed to get out and climb on it yet? I know your waiting to do the tickets, but no harm in practicing
  10. 8mm Marlow viper for me. It's just what my local supplier had in. It's only a mile and a half from home and I drink with a couple of folks who work there. So quicker than mail order
  11. Can't complain. Feels good on the hands, running a hitch climber setup with vt
  12. I'd get the isc 70kn pulley. £32 + vat at honeys
  13. The pic of the 201 is great. Think it might take some beating
  14. Really annoys me people who don't drive due to drink/drugs. I can't drive because of my epilepsy, but still manage to get myself to work every morning
  15. Did some work there years ago. Some great trees to work on
  16. Looking good so far. Glad to see you've a good taste for fashion, got the same hoodie myself [emoji106]
  17. Have a great weekend Paul. Should be there myself, but the daughter has something on. It would be great to meet up again and you can meet the mrs. Remember I'm only a couple of miles from the pie eater, so two birds one stone
  18. Happy birthday pal
  19. http://www.hse.gov.uk/treework/safety-topics/chainppe.htm At the top of the table it says what helmets should be rated to
  20. All I can say is try some harnesses on before you buy. They might look good, but some don't fit or be as comfy as you might think
  21. Used them loads over the years, can't grumble at their service. Fed up with empress not having stock. I also use timbermatic directly behind empress for fencing panels as they are a damn sight better built
  22. Which firm do you use for materials?
  23. I know rob rainford was using one over the weekend. He seemed impressed
  24. I'm in the same boat Pete. Good to see you back on here
  25. Happy New year Paul. Here's to fresh starts! Hoping for that myself [emoji106]
