I'm only fifty three but it may take some time before I'm fit enough to do anything else except aerial inspections.

 

I reckon I'm so lucky that HSE should except that I only need a single line

 

 

Always banging on about something, Prentice, give it a rest will ya.

All the best @GaryPrentise. I am sure you will climb past me in the future k

seems like the whole thing falls apart at requiring one to throw the throw ball twice to get into the tree.  thats just never going to happen.  I consider myself lucky when I can get one shot. but two????

My throwing abilities are based on luck not skill, I’ll be able to throw both balls at the same time to speed things up.

That was @Mark Bolam  advice when I asked him the best way of getting up a tree... Cnut!

I was being serious.

Bolam wasn't, he was pulling my chain.

It's all about the timing. May need something slightly thicker than a throw line to safely base tie it once has been lobbed into the crown.
