Title: 'loes
Post by: W3bbo on July 11, 2009, 12:11:23 PM
I'm originally from a little town just south of Manchester, then moved down to Birmingham for my degree (and subsequently joined Brum's Team Sky High) but as I'm going back up north for the summer hols I figured I'd join the local group there: the NWW.

So... how often do you meet up? I'm due to meet up with Sally (Cosmic Bimbo) in a few weeks, maybe some of you could tag along?

Ohh you lucky s*d

I really would like to bock Alderly Edge now that would be Extreeme Sport for sure all those rocks and ledges

All kidding aside I stayed near the Edge many years ago and had read the Weird Stone of Brisingham so it was a dream when some guys invited me to go down Engine Vein mine (happy days of my youth  :Cbiggrin:) I even tried running "Widdershins round the Devils rock/cave  :Claugh:

Good luck with the group W3bbo

Alderly Edge is boooring :p

Ta!

BTW Do you know any light engineering companies that might be interested in working on supination-compensating footplates? A few American companies have contacted me to work on the project but I'm looking for a company local to the UK.

Clive has had trouble with his knees and he says that bocking has helped strengthen them. talk to him.

Sorry about no reply W3bbo

Somehow I missed your post must have been one of the Pc crashes I had a few weeks ago

Lucky to live near the Edge  :Cbiggrin:

How could you call the edge boring I nearly killed myself 3 timesin 3 different ways in one day when I went there  :Claugh:

Now your asking engineering has almost been killed in the UK and all the small shops won't take risks any more as they are hanging on by their fingertips
I take it the footplate is for bocks and if it is read the Boecks patent carefully as they have done a really good job of stiching it up 7 ways to breakfast (even for accessories and add-ons)

If you can find a local Model Engineer you might get a better service and at a good price so try your local clubs (Minature Steam/Model eng) and you might get lucky or put an add in one of the Model engineering mags

Floor-slamming shouldn't hurt much unless you're bottoming-out. Try to bend your knees more, you won't get as high, but it should make it easier.
