Field Gate Lock

Got a call from Zaid this morning saying he couldn't get in the gate so I shot down there with all manor of lubricants (no KY) but was unable to get it undone feels like maybe a tumbler has broken inside anyways we need a new one, the old one will need cutting off but no point doing this till new is available. Apparently Jem Mathews does have stock Zaid having spoken to him on the subject. The farmer can still get in via his lock.

P.S. Thinking back there were some Environment Agency guys in there last week sometime when I was passing

I can pick one up from Jem today and change tonight if somone can meet me there with some bolt cutters about 17.45

Bolt cutters is one thing I don't have in my armoury sorry Mark

Hi, I have put out a call to the rest of the committee to see if any of them have or can borrow ether a decent pair of bolt cutters or a cordless angle grinder to cut the faulty lock off with. If I get any luck I'll let you know on here later on.

Just a thought If your going to pick up a lock from Jem Mark he may have some bolt croppers you could borrow

Thanks Mel,

I will see if Jem has any we could borrow

Hey Brian

Thanks for dropping by this morning to sort the lock out with your special Lube and giving me a hand with models ! Had a really nice morning session, the new trex had its maiden hover (two tanks) and only had to make minor modifications. The others were spot on.

I have a set of bolt cutters if anybody is driving by Rhos on Sea (Well used) they can pick them up

Glad it all went well Zaid

As a point of interest the field is much wetter again now than it was during the recent cold frosty snap we had over the Christmas period deffinately favours helis and wellies

I will see if Jem has any we could borrow

.

Mark, according to RT there is a spare key to the farmers padlock in the peg board box, (provided it has not been removed) so you may be able to gain access that way and fit the new lock next to the old one for now without needing to cut the other one off.

Not got to Jems yet but i will try and catch him on the way home, but i dont realy fancy treacking down the muddy feild in the dark to get the spare key, so it may have to weight till tomorrow morning


M

Ah come on I wanted to go flying tonight

sorry Guys I was late out of work and missed the shop (shutters down) so i will try and call in tomorrow

M

Cheers for sorting this out guys! I'm not much use sorry, not got any bolt cutters, or cordless angry-grinders. I do have a big hammer, and enough strength to use it effectively if that helps?

Cheers
Andy

The field gate is sorted Jem has done it tonight

Gd Gd, I missed the shop again

Thanks Jez

M

Yep thank's Jeremy and all the rest of you who pulled together to sort this one out. At least the field will be accessable again now even though it's rather soggy. Suerly the weather MUST improve at some time.
