I have spent the last couple of days at the Lyon Equipment training centre in Tebay, learning all about ropework and equipment for working at height.
During the course we looked at different systems and equipment for restraint, positioning and fall arrest for industrial rope access, tree surgery and police and military access techniques.
Theory included, the health and safety at work act, work at height regulations and the LOLER lifting regulations.
I also got to try out the ID, ASAP, Zig Zag and several other pieces of Petzl climbing, fall arrest and positioning devices.
Other elements of the course included a demonstration of breaking nylon slings without damage, with damage and with some abrasion (fluffing). Do you know which would break at the lowest load?
We will soon be able to offer our customers the full range of Lyon, Beal and Petzl work and rescue equipment for sale. Please ask for me in the shop or on the phone.

Last week saw the ProAdventure shop in Castle Street, Llangollen, move into new premises. We’re still in Castle Street, (right across the road in fact), but after seven years we simply outgrew the original store with the diverse range of outdoor products we sell.
The move took three days with all hands on deck. The new location is slightly bigger and is better laid out. We’re having a Grand Opening event, but not until the dust settles as our products are great value all year round. We just want to knuckle down and get started serving our customers.
We still provide the personal and professional service you’ve come to expect from ProAdventure, and our varied range of products will always be of the highest quality. Quite often we ourselves use the products we sell instore, so we are very familiar with them and can advise on their performance with that little extra, and invaluable, knowledge.
Whether it’s outdoor kit for biking, camping, climbing, walking; or clothing, footwear or bush craft equipment you’re after, ProAdventure is the one-stop shop for those who enjoy exploring and living in the great outdoors. We sell hundreds of recognised and recommended brands including Gransfors Bruks, Handpresso, Ordnance Survey, Paramo, Primus, Sealskinz, Speedo, Tentipi and Tilley.
Next time you’re in Llangollen drop by and visit our new premises. We’re open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm, while the website is obviously 24/7.
