  15. I was working for a regular customer today. They have a large corsican pine on their boundary, beautiful specimen, very healthy crown with no signs of decay or included/weak unions. The main trunk appears healthy with no signs of any fungi growing at the base. The tree does lean out towards the road. Anyway, the customer had a letter from the council reading somewhere along the lines that a member of the public walked past the house and noticed the tree looked dangerous and reported it, the council then asked "when" they were having the tree down? The customer is worried as they really dont want to lose the tree. I advised that the tree was healthy and other than the lean towards the road could see no imminent danger. Can the local council make them fell this tree? Obviously i explained to them now the tree has been raised as a danger and they've been told about it they are liable, also no consultant is going to tell them its safe these days. your thoughts?
  16. Hi calv......the easiest way would be to belay her. This would basically involve setting a rope up to a high point in the tree. This could be done from the ground through the use of a throwline. this is a small 2mm line with a throw weight attached. then you would need a belay device attached at the bottom of the tree...a harness for your daughter, you would basically be in 100% control. I would suggest the best thing you could do is contact your nearest indoor climbing wall and go on an induction...you will learn the basics of belaying or "top roping". then all you wll need to learn is the rope installation which you can be talked through right here!
  17. ive worked with very few girls, maybe 2.....but that statement would probably apply to 80% of the general work force in the country thoughout every industry, male or female.
