| David Jupp:
May be a stupid idea - but is there any alternative to the rope going into the hole? (it sounds a bit tricky if hole is smaller than rope and you have to put a peg in too). If hole is close to top/bottom of groove, can rope be trapped between peg and the top/bottom face of the groove for example? Just thinking that the rope may well have been replaced a number of times previously, so may not necessarily be installed as per when it left the factory... |

Thanks for the info chaps, this is getting really interesting! Tel, over on HMEM, gave me this website which is fabulous for anyone interested in ropes and knots: http://doit101.com/Knots/knots.htm Sorry David, the hole is in the base of the groove at one side, and the rope end has to fit in it.
