Their good but im not. got an eyeful of skim a week ago my eye got infected, I cant get out to work...
Am concentrating on getting neater, not so fussed about size of hit anymore have decided I need to get on neat & tidy and the speed will come. Feel like I got to go back to go forward.
I used to use them to the max height even walking on tiled floors, madness when I think of it, I only fell of them once, my left leg got caught in an 8x4 but my right leg knew nothing of this and kept going, luckily another plasterer caught me. My bad knee made me give them up, I find them hard on the bones, also as i was the only one who could drive I had to get off them to move the van etc..Hillsy, How much height are you expecting to gain from using stilts? I've got the MT Skywalkers which I find great because they have an adjustable spring for a more natural walking action, but I wouldn't even consider using them on their highest setting of 30".

commonsense...Respect to you John. At the max height I was so cumbersome I knew it wasn't for me. There's some self preservation instinct inside me that won't let me go above 18".
I have second hand ones 18/30 that you could have for £50 pounds, try before you buy if you like, trusting like that I am, but you would have to come to London sw to collect..Seen Marshall town stilts for about £150. I did seen other MT stilts for about £300. Any recommendations on a good set. Cheers
Don't get Marshalltown 2's there horrible surmag do some lovely ones magnesium with gorrila straps if you can get hold of them[/QUOTE
Think it was one of your previous posts re: stilts that hepled me make my choice, thanks.
Have been trying to get a set of Gorilla straps but cant find a uk stockist, anyone got any ideas? Can get imported from the USA but the postage is more than the item.
a familial resemblance here,I've got the faithful ones bang on £115 18"-30" I think and I have been on the high setting a few times
