Appart from the Premier Climber category all of the other categories will start climbing from a fxed anchor point in the top of the tree we are looking at how we get you all up there MEWP/climb etc. At the start point (top of the tree) you will be asked to sound a bell horn etc and then carry out a number of tasks around the tree climbing safely but quickly between the targets/tasks. Its all very easy and yes very like the Climbers and cutters climb tree but without the zipline! Be good to see you along. If you want to take part please let me have a booking form so I can add you to the list and order enough goodies for everyone taking part thermal mugs TShirts etc.
