Nice one Gary. I haven't been on as I lost one of my dogs two week ago, Also left my new radio and twig up at the caravan. Great position you have there. Handy being an ex roofer, mind I was scaffolding for a few years and I'm shìt scared of heights
Hopefully get out to you when I'm sorted. Not sure if Belfast to North Wales is achievable conditions ?
I'm thinking of the great orme Llandudno as a spot when away and also there's Pentre Halkyn way, high up nearer home.
hopefully if the conditions were right i would hear you ... heights have never scared me and some of the daft things i have done over the years is crazy .. i remember one time a guy in the estate asked me to put his antenna up for him and he was on the top floor of a four story block of flats so i climbed out his widow and pulled myself up onto the roof .. he handed me the tools up through the window ...
the things you do when you don't give a damn ....
