  1. Here's my first attempt only saw I have is a husky 560xpg this was with a 20" bar and dull chain.

     

    Lots to learn.

     

     

    Yes nice attempt there. My advice for carving mushrooms is start them upside down. Carve the stem then flip them over and round off the tops.

  2. So today my brilliant Sister completed the marathon and in the process raised nearly £5000 for Aspire. What an amazing effort.

     

    Thanks to all for you contributions and encouraging words. She very much appreciated everything you all done.

     

     

    I was working right next to part of the race today such a buzz and very inspirational well done to your sister and big congratulations to everyone that took part great to think of how much money gets raised for charity's across the board.

  3. Hi guys/gals it's new harness time again I've been through a fair few over the years. But my last was a petzl sequoia one of the 1st not much padding but pulled in all the right places and am sad to have to retire it.

    We have a new sequoia as a rescue harness but I just don't like it there are adjustments near the d rings to move the bridge further up to put more support on your back but I found they kept coming loose and ending up as long as they could be if that makes any sense. By this happening I found that there was loads of weight on my legs a very uncomfortable climb.

    So being in the market for a new harness I just thought I'd ask for some recommendations from you all that have given some other brands a good testing. Cheers

  4. Be upfront with him we pay good experienced guys less on the books and subbies less than £100 and we are in south London. I often think the lads are worth more. If he's a good mate then a simple heart to heart explaining that lots of other places don't pay anywhere near that price for someone on the ground explain that to grow the business profits are needed for advertisement insurances premium increases additional kit breakdowns upgrades etc. If he's willing to invest his own money working alongside and being trained by you to help achieve relevant qualifications for him to become a longer term asset to you then a small increase could be considered.

  5. I think the old logo was more iconic. Perhaps not necessarily household recognised but the potential was there. I'm sorry to say this imo is a bit of a let down and perhaps a refreshed version in a similar format would have been wiser.

    However I'm sure if this is what is in place now that it will become recognisable once more.

    It's a great company and the logo won't detract from the excellent work they do.

  6. It depends what and where you are in the crown if your going straight up it self tends If you redirect your rope every time you go out on a limb it will self tend if you have a slack loop that you've pulled out to pop out on a limb it doesn't self tend as easily.

  7. I'm loving the blue tongue at the moment it's my 1st rope with the zig zag and im glad I went with others advice to pair them up. I've not noticed much bounce at all maybe on a very quick decent. Did a huge beech Monday lots of long limb walks if it was just a little heavier it would self tend Nicley it does at times def. when wet. Also dries quite quickly lol.
