Decent harness makes, Komet, Petzl, Edelrid, Austria. Actually you cant really go wrong, all the harnesses on the market at the moment are ok, but make sure you try one on first. If its being sold by a reputable dealer and it feels comfy when you sit in it, it will do the job. Might be worth a trip up to FR Jones and Son.

A 45 metre rope will do, later on you might want a shorter one, or you might accidentally end up with two shorter ones from your 45! A longer rope will do for bigger trees, but a shorter rope isnt much good for big ones.

That climbing set doesn't look too bad i'm guessing its all pretty bottom of the line stuff though, any of it real cheap nasty gear to be avoided? or am i just being cynical?
