Britains Tallest tree Climbed

BBC News - Scaling the heights of Britain's tallest tree

[armchairarborist]

funny how the one next to it looks taller, maybe thats up a banking?

[arbclimber]

I like the way when he's half way up he describes the size of the trunk at that point as 'the size of a normal tree'. Reminds me of customers who phone up expecting a quote over the phone to take down their 'normal size tree'.

Erm... yep. If you watch the clip, "Expert climber Chris Betts" (Who TF is he?) just after half way up (1min 2secs) introduces us to the feet of "Ian" who put the line in!

 

So hail to unsung hero Ian who really "climbed" the tallest tree in the British Isles and yah boo sucks to publicity seeking media bitch nobody Chris Betts who probably could'nt climb a ladder unless someone had put a line in it first for him.

 

Ahem.
