One of my proudest moments, for sure.

Morning all, Fine here, rain due midafternoon. Just what I need, having put down grass seed yesterday.

Ps. What ever you do, make sure it is recognised by Ofqual and is on the qualifications framework otherwise it may not be recognised over there. I.e. the NQF, QCF, RQF or whatever it is called these days.

ISA cert Arb is probably the only route you can take to get it in by Jan. you’ll need to check exam dates and work to that. It isn’t difficult though and you can turn it around pretty quickly. Or maybe the SEG level 2 if you they let you start straight away. I think it typically starts in September though and runs for a year. It would give you the opportunity to progress to level 4 which covers surveying so a plan for when you are no longer climbing. And I think you can do it all online so maybe it would carry some weight if you had started it and carried on over there. Level 3 will take you 2 years at a college usually. Give tree life a call and ask them your options. They do the SEG qualifications and I think ISA as well. You can just do ISA on your own though by getting the study guide. Good luck. Chris.

Damp here as well with 10c and light rain .

Morning, hope everyone had a good weekend. Heading South to outside Edinburgh to do some flailing, damp start here.

Morning. Thought I'd wait till I got in. Was clear with plenty of Tawny owl hoots. Frogs making a racket too. Now it's bloody raining and seems set for the day. Bah. Have a good and damp one.

God bless the internet and all who sail in her.

Hang on then, how do you tie it off after you've given it a tug? This is probably the best video on learning to tie the trucker's hitch, anyway:

Steady on, Ghengis.

yes that works well i used that once after non payment on a fortnightly garden Maintenace job

Or a good sprinkling of Japanese knotweed seeds

CMC video on trucker's hitch Fun video on upgrading a few knots in the trucker's hitch to carabiners and getting a stronger, safer result. Potentially a bit quicker than setting up a 3-1, less risk of rope damage if you are expecting a heavy load than as a rope-only trucker's. https://www.cmcpro.com/learn-how-to-tie-a-truckers-hitch-knot/

Thought about doing domething like this myself once, but decided it could be construed as criminal damage. The much more discreet but satisfying alternative was a goodly dose of 34% urea nitrogen fertiliser at night, then spent next six months watching the poor prick furiously mowing his lawns, growing twice as fast as he could cut. Must have cost a fortune in fuel.😆
