Poetic justice in a way as I didn't like how the locking legs didn't... CH04 Solar SP C-Tech Recliner Chair Low-with arms CLEARANCE DEAL £99.99, they were around £180. I know its a low chair, but needs must and other than a normal deck type chair which I will get for taking to the beach, the Solar is the best available. Johnson Ross got the order around 15.00 hours Friday, and delivery has already been quoted by Fed-ex as between 08.20 and 12.20 Monday! That is some service. I'm upset, I mean, they said 08.20 and it was 09.50.😆 Fed-ex usually deliver at the first time mentioned, not within the time bracket. Seriously, that is some service from Johnson Ross, and to be honest from Fed-ex. I know the depot is not in Ipswich so fair play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 A set of Fox RX+ alarms, finally given up on the Delks, after no bleeps on a take last week it was the final straw - no more worrying about rain, humidity or them just not feeling like working. Hopefully less false bleeps too - win win 😁👍 jh92, dalej2014, Golden Paws and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had three water ingress issues with my Delks, the last of which occurred at 2am in the rain on a very, very cold February night on the Mill. I literally got on my phone and ordered some Fox's right there and then. Seven years later the Fox's are still going strong with no issues whatsoever. commonly and kevtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't help but notice how much lighter the pod/bars bag felt after swapping them over last night.

I dried them out, sprayed them all over with WD40, wiped off the excess and left them to dry. That solved it after a fashion for a few weeks. went back to Steve neville buzzers… now if I could just work out how to stop them cracking at the base I’d be happy! kevtaylor and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how some cause grief, yet for others including myself, never had a problem. Incidentally, "no bleeps on a take", that can happen on a drop back, no matter what alarm, and the cause is apparently water resistance and heavy indicators preventing the alarm sounding. I was actually talking to a friend this week about the very issue, and I think the name he mentioned was Martin Crackoff on YouTube where the heavy indicators were deadening indication, so the answer was actually to go light.

If you dont get a single bleep when the hangers off completely and line out the clip the alarm is not fit for purpose regardles of lead set-up or hanger weight. But I do understand that some have no issues, my left one in particular was a pain from day 1, but all suffered from the issues raised. The only suprise for me was how long it took me to throw in the towel. yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higham1987 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Was "Given" a Bivvy + Wrap, the fella said he has misplaced the pole for the Bivvy Peak, so thought could use as a Day shelter and Sell the Wrap.... Upon setting up yesterday I found the Pole, told him and he wasn't bothered, so up for sale it went and sold a few hours later.... So that's the Airport money for Wednesday (Holiday to Egypt). commonly, salokcinnodrog and kevtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the new stuff is as durable as it was back then, although the plastic lining is starting to crack and flake. 28 minutes ago, dalej2014 said: Fresh line for the "big rods" - 12 footers. 18lb GT-HD.

Our friend Esox took a lot of line off the reel when it got tangled up in it, at least 50metres and above that I ended up with tooth fragged sections, so it's replace it. I'm not 100% on the durability of Daiwa Sensor in heavy weed full of snail, I've just taken off the line from 3 Shimano Beastmasters, and it does not feel 'clean'. It could be me, but saying that I was frequently replacing it twice a year anyway. So the replacement is back to Gardner Pro light. The last time I used that it lasted 3 years... dalej2014 and kevtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 I mentioned the Solar chair last week (?) It got its first outing this week, and I like it! It is not as low as I was expecting and the extending legs are good. Get the back level, and to extend the legs, push the button and they automatically extend to full. I've put full weight on it, on uneven ground, and the legs stay in place. The added head rest cushion, attached by a locking strap is a nice touch, although I've taken it off. kevtaylor, B B, Higham1987 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
