    No Worries mate, it didn't come across that way too me, I know what you meant

    Hi Joe, thanks for your reply, don't agree with you on the rigging but heyho we all have our certain ways mate. I could only rig of one stem as that's alls was left. About the crab, this is the reason we have to use three way crabs so they don't rub undone. There's no way that's coming undone and moving out the pulley, no way. But I'm with you on the pulleysaver, them or the rope guide are a better way to do it, once we have the rope guide instock I will be having one The way I climb is a simple, safe,cheap and frictionless, it can't be retrieved but if your removing the tree then it comes down with you as you dismantle the tree. Anyway good seeing your point of view and making me think, cheers mate. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Wary, why Joe?

    Cheers Joe, yes I know what you mean about thicker pieces but if it fails and your above it your going with it, if the rigging anchor is above mine and fails there is more of a chance I will stay in the tree. This is how we was taught, I wonder if its changed in the teaching process? I've rigged huge pieces of small anchors and there's never been a problem so far Have you had a bad experience with a hitch climber pulley? I used to use a pinto but now I use this, its rated to 30kN sides and 15kN up and down so I figure it will be more than enough?

    Cheers mate, it wasn't a road, just a driveway to the church, we had it closed but we was allowing people on foot to go through when it work stopped.

    Hi, thanks for your feedback. Wondering why would it be better with the rigging anchor point below mine? It should always be above the climbing line incase it fails?

    Finally got the time to make another movie, this one was in Woolton, Liverpool at St. Peters Church were Eleanor Rigbys grave lies. The Beatles made this lady very famous and see if you can spot the Magical Mystery Tour bus in the video bringing the daily run of tourists. I have uploaded with music and one without so you should be able to catch it on all formats. Watch in HD1080. Thanks for watching! with music without music

    Hi Roni, We are not misleading our customers, our delivery terms are there for everyone to see and on checkout they get the option to go ahead or not. Certain places in Scotland are not classed as Mainland this is set by the courier firms not us unfortunately and it is them who add on the surcharges once again not us, there is nothing more I can say on this. We have also had our web developers testing the website today and all is running fine, it may be due to your location, thank you for informing us on this matter.
  22. Barry_Skyland
    Hi Roni, yes we have free delivery to Mainland UK as it says on the home page. Your postal address PA** is charged at zone 4 by Fedex and Parcelforce this entails an added charge and totals to around £19 plus VAT. We charge you £6.50 plus VAT so you can see how we subsidise your carriage. Mainland UK prices are around £6 plus VAT from the couriers of which we subsidide if orders are over a certain amount. Every dealer in the UK will charge the same if not more. Apologies for the confusion and disappointment at being charged, here are our terms from the delivery page. DELIVERY & RETURNS *NOTE: All delivery prices are shown EXCLUDING VAT Non Mainland UK Delivery: Northern Ireland, Northern Scotland, Highlands, British Isles, Peninsula & Channel Islands (also includes Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Jersey, Guernsey) £6.50 - All Orders (excluding VAT) I hope this explains and please let me know if we can be of anymore help, thank you for your order,
