    Jesus mark 6'10 and 26 stone? Why aren't you a rugby player
  2. Boaty
    Yeah I know what you mean theirs no way to try them out and when you change boots you change how well they fit. Mitten that looks like a great idea actually just not sure if the straps are long enough I'll let you know

    Got the geckos Paul but was thinking about getting the bashlins

    Thanks for the replies people, I'v go them on today on some nice thin leaning sycamores and I'v just done the bottom strap up tighter than usual and they seem to be a bit better and not slipping, what's the benefit of Velcro bottoms Marc? It's bit something I even thought about to be honest. Are the gaffs easy to change? Like could I have the long ones in and just change them for be short ones when needed? Cheers

    Alright chaps, I'm after your experience with different types if gaffs, I'v got the Ali geckos at the minute with the leather bottoms on, their good, nice and light, but I find they slip of my instep due to the almost triangular shape on them As they don't sit flush with the bottom of my boot ( I climb with airstreams, they normally slip if my left more than my right but I think that's down to my dodgy ankle) i think I'v got he euro gaffs on at the minute, but every tree I'v done recently has had ivy or really flakey/fissured bark and I was thinking about getting some tree/longer ones. My question is what type if spikes do you rate and find the most comfy, and are tree spikes usable on thinner barked trees and conifers etc. thanks

    I wonder why they are selling
  9. Boaty
    I thought it was. 3500 max including trailer (which has to be less than 750 unless you have separate trailer licence)unless youv got a higher rated license? And that is if your vehicle is plated to that much?

    If you do decide to sell would you consider getting a 90 station wagon? Could part ex mine against yours?

    Summer attire

    Boaty posted a topic in General chat

    Alright lads does anyone use long sleeved base layers in the summer? Basically I'v been wearing vests and when climbing especially chogging down have found I get grazed shoulders much easier but worst of all saw dust gets everywhere. What are they like to wear as I'v never worn long sleeves at work? Are they cool and do they keep the dust out? Also everyone I know swears by the merino wool but that seems a bit expensive any thoughts? Cheers
