Please note All scaffold poles and access ladders were of correct safe working load.

Great photos. We had a real run of dead cedars in church yards. I think they die due to excessive burial severing large rooting areas. Its a real shame they are not managed better. Someone should produce a guidance note for burial under trees in churchyards and circulate it.

there is a real easy way to tie a timber hitch in a deadeye, i'll try and explain but sure there is a guide to it somewhere .....

 

throw the working loop round the tree(no hardware attached!), at the point where the bite is going to happen (a bit over the circumference) hold the rope (dont let go!), this was just for measurement! take the line and spin it round and round towards the tail from the point found previously, creating a loop mid way along the line, pass the splice back round the tree and through the loop just created and hey presto a timber hitch (if that makes sense)
