Did the llangollen round a few weeks ago. 35 mile charity walk. Everyone else got blisters, pulled muscles etc. I got a tick on my bollocks! Didn't notice it until the following day. I've got it out, in stages though. A few days before I got the head out. I've been told to watch out for symptoms. It was 3 weeks ago. Anyone know if I'm out of the woods by now? No symptoms to date

It was, I think it might have been strongly suggested to him that he was playing with fire.

I imagine it is a badged Robin, Kyoritz or some such.

Thanks for pointers. It is Lucas Mill. Swing blade. Doesn't relate to chainsaw qualifications. I think a good risk assessment, method statement should give them enough confidence that I know how to use it...

Seems to make more sense if you swap the numbers in mpg and litres/100km columns?

Well, a famous victory. If there’s one trait that Stokes has that seems to be reflected in his team, it’s that they never give up.

I am not trying to be smug here, but if you have your own (decent) mewp, would it not make sense to use it? It is understandably easy to argue something is ok to climb if using a mewp involves the hassle of hiring in. I don't worry about idiots in cars etc hitting my mewp's legs when it is on the road. I quote the customer for proper traffic management, and shield the mewp with other vehicles/chipper etc. If customer isn't happy with the cost of this they can get someone else in.

I think it's been subjected to a particularly brutal topping procedure. Apologies for the flippancy. In seriousness though, it's hard to tell the problem based on those photos. Do you have any more, of the surrounding area maybe? What's the history, anything changed recently in the vicinity? Probably not, but it might be something to do with root damage or drought.

The Zulus has got LRF as well as inbuilt ballistics calculator. A lot of tech for the price. Does take a bit of the fun out of it though.

36" bar. Lose 4" in the dogs and cover. 2" stickout. Double bar with a 16" 230 (small dogs) just about meets. Won't be bigger than that will it. Unless you have some longer bar I wasn't aware you could get? He'll have a laugh rolling it over though.

Half an IBC flask on top of the bag and strap that? Keep a bit of rain off too.

always gets me how fast they feather up. Then it'll be mini roadrunners trying to fly. Superb stuff.

Hi Frank. Tick all boxes that contain traffic lights.

Hi All, Bit of a heads up for those employing. We recently had a new chap come to us with view to joining the apprenticeship. He was employed for about 6 weeks all in. During which time we kitted him out with usual PPE including boots, kevs and hi viz t's. He was sporadic in his attendance to work. Siting family issues. Which we were accepting of and made allowances for with a view to a long term employment. My staff repoerted him to be a hard worker and "switched on" operative. Cut to the chase.....One day he reports to have moved to Cardiff to look after his sick father. Taking our PPE with him. At least £500 worth. He now ignores email and other contact attempts. He did suggest his new employer may buy the kit from us so is clearly using it for another employer. Grr!! He also owes one of my staff £50 and another 2 guys at our yard other money borrowed. We have made a police report. Beware this Guy!!

It's a pity the HA didn't just reroute the path away from the tree.

Morning lads Checking in for today's shenanigans. Stay safe and have a good un
