Mark, I would love to see you doing the aerial rescue event

So when is next years comp?

If its not already set then its not being planned correctly and will never catch on for either climbers or public.

Well done MOG, who won the ladies? Was the 17 competitors including the ladies as well?

[MOG]

yes 17 was including ladies, Jo hedger won.the other chich was swedish. Jo came 2rd overall in Prelims against the blokes pretty amazing effort.

 

Apparently next year Comp is at same Venue and same time. May bank holiday, the British Falconry show was awesome too, had few birds of prey flying to the trees during comp time, something to look at risk assessment haha. Huge eagles flying bout was pretty cool.

 

Gd to Hear mark and Joe, its very friendly and the standards are from very beginner to advanced.

I had planned on going up there this year. I had to look after my boys on the saturday as the missus was working and I had worked booked in for Monday.

 

Next year I will definitely make the effort.

Would have loved to have gone but didn't hear about it in time. Only found out where it was from one of the competitors (Tom Bunday) on the Friday before, which was just too late for me.

 

I'd love to give it a go in the future though!

 

Just needs more promotion.

If you volunteer as the dummy I can promise, here and now, a new World record in next years event.

And that's after me and Joe Newton have spent a few hours in the beer tent!

Don't think I've said it yet Mog, but congratulations bro!

Ross told me you were just a tree killing work climber who would struggle finding his way around a tree without a 660 hanging from your harness.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* I may have made that up.

Does a felling cut at the base still count as getting the casualty down?
