  1. Thanks Marc Yeah just tried it on my 12.6mm 5m lanyard and seems to work well, yeah iv go a 45m honeybee so plenty of the rope to make into two, was thinking a posh dog lead ;-)
  2. Coleman, yeah cheers that's my next step. Anyone using 12mm with the ZZ ??
  3. Hi iv just got hold of my new ZZ, I was hoping to run my double end spliced yale xtc-honey bee rope (its 12mm I believe) however because of the splice eyes I can't get it through the ZZ, has anyone else had this problem ?? Need a solution, don't really fancy getting a new rope just yet Cheers
  4. Any thoughts on using yale xtc-honey bee rope with the zigzag, I believe it's 12mm Cheers
  5. Thank you to all involved such a worthwhile cause ! Il be boiling fresh brews in no time perfect with this weather. Many thanks from a soggy Dorset
  6. Iv had a 12 plate Amarok highline for six months now, I can't fault it in anyway ! Fuel for a big truck is very economical 35-45 mpg, off road is more than adequate never needed a tow out of trouble. You have selectable two/four wheeled drive high and low ratio. Vw electronic off road system is always there when you need it, hill decent control is handy plus the hill hold feature stops you rolling back when gears are engaged allowing you to release the foot brake. I love it because when I need to do some 4x4 or loading wood/saws/fuel/climbing kits it's fine and if iv got a long motor way trip it's comfy plus able to sit at 75mph with ease. If you can get to a VW commercial center I'd suggest taking one out for a test drive !
  7. Hello everyone ! I'm a medical discharge from injuries sustained on Herrick 10, served just over six years in 2 RTR (tankies). Completed Kingswood course in Jan this year and can highly recommend, I will be returning. Everyday is a new challenge and I haven't let my injuries hold me back. Now after a year of doing Arb work I can safely say I'm chuffed I picked this path on leaving the forces. Veteran and proud.
  8. Absolutely perfect for shooting, the hood is detachable so problem solved. Hard wearing very highly recommended.
  9. Ridgeline Monsoon II Very highly recommended by myself, I'm ex military and very happy to getting soaked to the bones this was my shooting jacket now used daily for arb stuff, can't get a better jacket in my opinion.
  10. Great advice guys ! Thankyou. Has anyone got experience with any petzl harnesses ? Also is there any must have kit/equipment that's essential in your kit bags ? Cheers guys
  11. HaHa here's a genuine beginners question - looking to get my first harness, can anyone recommend anything including rough prices. Would like to buy the right kit that's been put through its paces. Many Thanks
  12. Thanks Stubby, Getting all the experience/advice i can, before completing a course at Kingswood training early next year.
