I think the op has a number of answers to his question, seems a sensible adult to me, I'm sure he'll make a sensible adult decision as to which answer he deems fit to take on board. my observation is he already stated that choice.

All 9 royal parks there is a total ban on climbing or interfering with any tree, many other parks will possibly have a similar ban in place, at the very least it would be prudent to find out any such rules beforehand out of common courtesy, besides which there are likely to be various fines in place for breaking park rules, you may be experienced enough to treat a tree with care, but imagine if everyone decided to climb it without your level of care, another fact to consider if a climber were to fall not necessarily using the appropriate climbing gear, that long grass would not help being seen and delay in medical help could be critical depending on any injuries. But as the op has already stated he will not be climbing in any public areas so I guess he will be just fine. he is taking a sensible approach.

No dog in the fight so to speak,, but what about public liability insurance, what happens if say for example someone takes it upon themselves to climb a tree, in a public park as suggested, and while a member of the public who hasn't noticed or expected anybody to be up trees as no restrictions of access signs or barriers or other indicators have been put in place, and an accident occurs, branch or any other object falls and hits a member of the public, in this world of "where there blame there a claim", how would that pan out, certainly not a good start to a climbing career is my thoughts. Is it even permissible to climb trees when not contracted to do so by the relevant authoritative body? maybe a more favored approach would be,assuming all your ducks are lined up for paid work, would be to start on a few easy low risk jobs, gaining experience and confidence as you go, then maybe taking it up a notch or two once you have a few successes under your belt. obviously your pricing structure could increase as your experience and confidence grows.

Wow! surely that's never happened to anyone here has it?

Having worked with big cats in the past, I always found it interesting, and uncovered a few scenarios when looking into the various sightings and rumors. I don't suppose you could point me in the direction of any previous discussions on here, I did look but nothing came up.

Pt 2, John drives the "Rapid Transit", So I have this RS 3.1 transit and I'm getting a fair bit of work, bit of felling, bit of landscaping, turf,tarmac, kerbstones, and John is almost always up for a bit of extra cash, so we getting a few recommendation jobs, you know the sort of thing, do a nice job in an area and get a few people inquire if you can give them a quote for whatever they want doing, so John has the gift of the gab and gets a good few jobs, people are always at ease with him, despite his huge frame and ability to pick up two club brawlers one in each hand by their belts and carry them outside, he can be quiet,polite, reassuring,and of course not forgetting the massive sense of humor. Well he's got us this "small job" which according to him we can complete in an evening, all we need is the transit, a decent mower or flail, and all we have to do is clear this "small" bit of ground from a bit of rough grass and cart it away on the truck,, sounds simple enough eh? so I hook up the trailer, load up the ride on and off we go, 15 miles and we are soon there, I'm looking at a group of small houses scattered around,"which one is it John?" "none of these, it's round the back, follow me," and with that he's off on the ride on, so we go down this overgrown lane by the side of one of the nearby houses and there it is,,,, the "small" job,, all 5 fecking acres of it! its knee high grass, thistles, small seedlings, and as everyone had dumped all their garden waste on it huge patches of various flowers and stuff which had self seeded or taken root including this massive Buddleja bush. "we ain't gonna get this done in five minutes John", "we'll be ok, you cut I'll load, and we can swap over in a while" "better get cracking then" and with that I set the mower to cut and blow it out the side, this we had soon found was the best way as with the grass box on you went 5 yards and it was jammed, it didn't take long before the transit was full and bulging, "now what we gonna do, if we gotta keep driving to the yard to dump the loads I'm gonna be needing to fuel up, the job will end up costing us money" "I know a place not far away, I'll take it" "ok but take it easy, you know that truck can get a bit squirrely on the back end". I watch as the transit almost covered in grass, foliage and semi wild flowers disappears from view, and continue cutting, literally 5 minutes passes and John's back,, the truck is empty. "feck me that was quick John" "yeah well it wasn't far" and he's loading it up again,, soon as it's full he's off again. so after about the 5th load, I said, " you wanna have a go on the mower John?" "no I'm good, I like driving the truck" "well ok if your sure" and we continue, It's now 9.30 at night, light is fading fast but we can see the end in sight, "one more load ought to do it John," and it did, just, John off to unload the last load, I drive the mower onto the trailer and chuck the remaining rubbish on with it. while I'm loading up the tools, fuel cans etc, the lady and her husband arrive on scene, "oh my, doesn't it look different, so much better, and bigger too. I'm glad you're pleased with the result. yes thank you and the husband hands me the envelope. John arrives and after a brief chat we decide we better get going as we gotta get back to yard and put it all away. as we leave I say to John is their room for the last bit on the trailer at your dumping spot? "no it's full now" "ok we'll just take it home and sort it in the morning", I said. we get home drop the trailer, and there's just enough time for a quick one at the local. half way through his second pint, John announces,"that truck don't hang about does it" "yeah, pretty rapid ain't it, where did you dump all those loads by the way, you didn't take long" John lowers his voice, "just off the bypass" he whispers, "what bypass?" "the one their building" "but it's not open yet" "I know, I moved the barriers and dropped one side down then drove down the new bit of road, all the grass and stuff blew off onto the side, and then I kept doing that along the whole length both sides,,, I had to go a bit fast" "how fast John?" "don't know speedo only goes up to 90mph" In the following spring, the new bypass opened, and everyone said how lovely the verges looked with all the flowers that "the council" had planted, especially the intermittent Buddleja bushes.

I have a lot of water nearby, I get loads of them, from small damsel fly, to huge emperor dragonflies. when the local ant population take to the wing, the dragonflies arrive within seconds and for the next hour will feast, it looks like a remake of the battle of Britain in miniature.

damsels fold their wings along their bodies, dragonflies are 90 deg when at rest. male banded demoiselles are iridescent blue, females are more greenish, did they look similar to these, 1,331 次播放 · 16 个心情 | Dragonfly season is from May to September, and...

they are way more easy to recognize when flying.

banded demoiselle?

just out of interest what are you towing it behind? and at what speeds.

"Legend"

I got the venom 22 ton as it suited my current needs, I agree it isn't the fastest splitter out there, but at 72 I probably would soon tire of trying to keep up with the fastest even the wife can use it too, I used an axe for much of my younger days, cheap, didn't require any trailer, and if you got busy just buy another one and get a buddy to double the output I think if I was starting again I would seriously look at a full processor type machine. but I suppose it depends on the level of production you need, I only split for my own personal use these days, not sure the outlet is as good as it once was, I expect location plays a part, as does burning regulations.

I have the VENOM 22-ton splitter, which can be towed up to 45mph. on UK roads legally, it doesn't have the log loader function, but it can be operated both vertical and horizontally, so bigger stuff can be rolled onto it in the vertical position.

ok, then lets hope the op finds a similar way to achieve his aims.

I see your in france, were you born there? or did you choose to move to france and get work there?

You thinking "big cat"? not ridiculing you at all, had plenty of "incidents" over the last 50 or so years.

I'm sure the op is aware of that,as am I, however maybe he will find a way instead of looking for an excuse not to do it. he did after all ask how to find work in Scandinavia, and may have a passport and was looking for a more work oriented reply. Do I need a visa for Scandinavia from the UK? Visa requirements You can travel without a visa to the Schengen area, which includes Norway, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies if you travel: as a tourist. to visit family or friends.
