Just get fitter and stronger and you don't need electric bikes;)

I have the Makita site radio and it has been very good but I find it very bass heavy. I also have a small Roberts DAB radio which was £35 and is excellent.

I'm not into uplifts, I like going up hill better!!

That's cheating;)

I will have to come down and have a go. I've been reading about the bike park, sounds good.

Phad Prik with chicken or Phad tai with king prawn. Mmmmm

No mate, just cut down portion size and loads of exercise.

Well since my weight loss regime started in November I had a goal of being able to get out on my MTB like the old days, well since the spring I have been training up and getting my fitness back, I've done 2 local MTB challenges for charity and been hitting my local Singletrack hard. We have an abundance of top quality riding here in the lakes so I will be sharing them as and when I do them. today's venture is around one of my favourite routes, it starts in Staveley and heads up into the Kentmere valley, lots of nice Singletrack to test your skills and then fast descents. Then I headed up Garburn pass which is an old pack horse route and very steep, in rideable in places so you have to walk, once at the top you get a great view around the lakes. Next is a fast decent into Troutbeck, again fast, rocky descents. At the bottom I headed back up into Kentmere through high borans, again cool single track with lots of rocks and peat bogs to play in. Then it's a fast, rocky decent into Kentmere and back to Staveley for a bacon bun! BOOM, 31K done by 10am.

1. Go and look. 2. Once you have looked and are happy with the job you can quote. Start with what you would normally charge and then add on the extra costs involved. then... 3. Add on 50%

Your next mate, it is worth the wait though. I like that it has 2 12v power points, I can run a beacon and a MPs3 player and have a rave while I chip.

Brilliant!

It's such a refreshing change not to have to sned branches before feeding, it's amazing what it will pull through. This is a marker for the new 190.

Nothing mate, this is mine the other was a prototype.

Here at last!! My TW 230 VTR. Mmmmmm

550 xpg, blows the 560 I had outta the water! Awesome saw!

If you want a good one with domain ownership and hosting I reckon between £300 and £500, well mine cost about £500.

Only 1, I can't say anything until I have told Timberwolf, nothing major. Don't worry.

It's great Scott. This prototype is going back tomorrow as mine is being delivered.

So today we had a conny hedge to top, you know the type that has been done a few years ago and now has those horrible crowns in that are tough as old boots and awkward to chip without snedding, well the 230 ate them with no snedding needed. Chucked em in and away it went. I love this machine and the way you can just chuck stuff in. The rollers are extremely powerful.

But that ain't dragging and chipping mate,

I have had 3 emails this week alone off lads wanting to start in tree work, I have a lad who has just done 3 years at college with no real life work experience and 2 other lads who want to have a go at tree work, there is a glut of new starters in this game

Very true, how keen is keen these days, I remember my first day as a trainee mechanic, I had to be at the garage at 8am, I got there at 7.30 and helped open up and I stayed until the guy giving me a lift home was ready, I didn't care, I just loved cars and being around them.

Nowt wrong with a CS100 Ian! I use one to sharpen my quoting pencil!! (JOKE)

Just offering up advice

Anyway, sod the juicer! What about the bit of split wood I found that looks like a wang
