  2. I was "head of Dutch trolley maintainance and distribution" for a while
  3. When I was at college I was climbing a small yew in a church yard using doubled rope technique with about 2 other guys in the tree. Guys on the ground thought it would be funny to tie my handing ropes around an oil tank meaning I couldn't go up or down and just dangled until I jumped down. Another one is to replace the top handles spark plug with a dud. Funniest thing iv ever seen:lol:

  17. I was told he quit by a current pupil but he may be mistaken. What amazes me is that hes getting close to 65 and he still runs chads 3 times a day.
  18. If he was climbing yes, but hes doing a bit of snedding and logging.
  19. FR Jones is THE cheapest place to get anything. Also, you dont need all round protection for trousers. For all the equipment it should be about £750ish
  20. Spridge retired last year. He gave odd punishments to the end lol
  21. Also if you're working solo, a whistle.
  22. I know. My pb was 28 something but there was a guy who did it in 16 minutes.
