In a ‘past life’ I was competent in many areas involving rope. After a break of over twenty years, today I made a short splice on two different coloured pieces of rope and whipped all the ends. I am happy with the result after such an absence, so I’ll take the work along to our ‘Rabbits’ Competition tomorrow at Wragby and show off to my ART teachers. My wife says I’m a big head. ( ;o)

Hi James, what a useful skill to have in the tower!
so…..are you taking part in the ’50 Things Challenge’?

Splicing a rope and whipping the end of a rope are two of the challenges – if you’ve got a booklet, you could tick them off now! 🙂
