    They are constantly doing timed cycles up the A11 by Linton, absolutely mad. All those back country roads to use around there and they go on the A11.

    why do you need both? if you are getting properly seasoned air dried it'll be the same moisture content? always baffles me this

    16%??? If your stoves can’t handle anything up to at least 25% surely you should be looking at the stoves not the logs??? The stove supplier who hands my name out recommends 18-25% and so does the booklet from the manufacturer. I mean obviously I stand to be corrected as that is our trade, just repeating what I’ve been told.

    First let me say I would never let any of my guys climb without someone with rescue on site. However when it comes to it doesn’t phase me. In the end of the day if it’s a serious enough accident to require rescue it’ll most likely be a severed artery... I stand to be corrected but I remember the pass time being capped at 40mins... as long as your groundies keep your ropes tidy self rescue is surely the only way... any worse than that you’re gunna be a gonna anyway

    Just took the corner to quickly, inexperience. Must admit I used to be a bit of a yob grain carting as a kid but bale chasers still made me nervous when they were coming the other way, but I know they were all always pushed

    For ground staff £80 if I have to tell them what to do the whole effing time or their brain shuts down. And a £100 when they start telling me what to do [emoji23]

    I spent most of last week reducing 12 sycamores, a fair few nests in the garage roofs underneath, couldn’t be more grateful, rather the occasional sting over a mouthful of green flies
