good photos dan, i think the srt style can really win out in these situations of dodgy or awkward tip,s, seems to me to be a lot safer than just one point.
how is the unicender compared with lock j+rw?

thanks carl.

It's quite a different kettle of fish. They both enable srtwp, they both self tend, but the uni has a slightly rawer edge to it. It scared the hell out of me for a couple of months but I'm getting my hand in now. Ascent wise I don't think the uni can be beaten, smooth with no sitback.

so a couple form today. Barge in to start removing the 100's of tonnes of timber we felled across the site for the restoration project. Its been handy to jump back and see how the sites getting on. Were just clearing the risk of windthrow trees on the edge of the navigation channel so nice and easy, tie, fell (big splash) then portable winch out.

These couple are from a massive plane done today. The tree covers four gardens but we were only crown lifting over 3 of them as the owner of the tree did not want their side doing. Some really long branch walks, hard enough but good. The photos are crap from an iPhone. I am in the middle of the second pic.

Not arb related unless one of you lot felled the trees for it

Fitted the stairs on Saturday morning before a trip to a&e with the wee one then back on Sunday to finish the hand/guard rails

We built the room as a conference room come kitchen it looks good now with the units fitted. I thought my days of knocking nails were over but it pays the bills

Dead woofing and crown care on a few trees yesterday and today. Monkeysteve in the tree and me and rich doing the clean up.

We found a hole 8ft up the trunk, wound hidden by ivy, big cavity you can poke a stick about 18" down and up so will probably have to come out as in a school. Today brought the snow but we cracked on regardless.
