Calling all tree surgeons

I'll check on the difflock forum, they should be able to tell us.

Heres a thought, when you sharpen the saw, are you taking the tops off the rakes with a flat file, as well as using the rat tail on the cutting part of the blade? if not, the the rakes will be keeping the edge away from the wood, and no matter how sharp the thing is, you are cutting by friction. Are the cuts you are making discoloured? (the saw working on the nose usually means rakes are too long..)

Spot on chillitt exactly what was wrong cut twice as much today. wasnt taking enough of the rakes.

Also dressed the teeth with a dremel type hobby thingy 3/16 diamond tipped it made a huge difference getting big chuncky bits now instead of powdery sawdust.

John, I've just heard back from the difflock forum, sadly bikes aren't allowed as they aren't covered by their insurance.

I'll probably only be there on the Saturday too, though I will be camping. Looks like I'll be down there around 10 ish on teh Sat.

Scotty, you going to be there?

That's a real shame, he's maybe the next DOUGIE LAMPKIN in the making and was desperate to come would the owners have any disclaimer that I could sign here he is 12 years old and after 4hours training !

He was gutted at not being able to come along and ride beside us. But rules are rules.

Thanks for trying if the guy accepts a disclaimer I'd be really chuffed.

Thanks JB

[onlynik]

He wouldn't be covered by their insurance, and I think that the main thing, so even if there was a disclaimer, I don't think they would be happy. However, as Tracey said, there is a course next door he could use, if you are willing to let him loose there.

Hi Nik missed the bit about a course next door I will bring him down and stay with him till his arms ache then he can drive the surf for a bit cheers mate

We will be there might get the side steps off before then.

Are there any farms nearby that are looking for pest controllers makes for good fun night driving and rabbit pie.

[scotty]

john, there is a dirt bike coarse round the corner for where we camp.

someone will point you in the right direction when you are there.

i have saw you lads there before so i cant see it being a problem, it may cost you another score to let young dougie go daft for a couple of hours, but it would be worth it.

nik, if you are going to need your pmr that i have for saturday, give me a call when you are near to coming off the motorway and i'll meet up with you.are you by yourslf this time or is missus whith you?

hope to see you at the weekend

cheers scotty
