im hoping the competition section to this forum will be expanded on next year....unfortunately the forum didnt start till just before the last uk comp of the year so there hasnt been much coverage. hopefully next year will be a different story, and maybe we'll see some fresh faces from arbtalk giving it a shot!

good article colin, i must confess i only just made the time to read it. i think a lot of people would benefit from going to the climbing comps.....i see a lot of attitude displayed such as "oh thats all very well but i bet they couldnt do the job for real". wether thats true or not is irrelevant as thats not what its about. ive competed once myself and intend to compete again just for the ongoing education and the challenge.

i went for a health day today and had the same prob.....craving chocolote energy about 3pm didnt have none though......settled for carrot sticks...luckily i was only stump grinding

I have asked this question in the past but never had a definitive answer. do varigated leaves and purple leaves etc which have their clorophyll masked by various other pigments suffer any ill health because of it? It would seem, at least to me that the photosynthesis wouldnt be as efficient. I know some trees ie copper beech seem more succeptible to disease and ill health that common beech....how much of this is due to the above question?

im gradually changing all my tools to teng piece by piece....havent got round to their screwdrivers yet but i have no reason to doubt they will be any less quality than all their other tools

nice avatar nutty, you design it yourself?
-
nice work Tim......would have approached it the same myself.....i rarely rig off unless its the only option anyway
-
wonder why they want to change the name
-
its just a better design, does the same job only that little bit smoother

Are you all waiting for the perfect picture?

definetly better than a micrograb

the best pic will be chosen simple as that....the judges wont be aware of each persons experience -

wont necessarily be a climber who wins anyway......a groundsman could just as easily take a pic of a climber at work and win -
no i have the standard one, might go for the swivel when i upgrade

its always annoying how simple some things are when you eventually hear about them and wonder why you hadnt thought of it yourself!!

what was the first?

true tony, but if you want to use the redirect you dont have the option of clipping it back onto the hitchclimber.....no biggie though. i think this method has yet to evolve into something very cool
-
sorry my mistake, i should have said removal.

i could have it tested with a resistograph, but i really dont think it warrants it....with the fact of where it is im happy it needs to come out. i dont think i'll do it myself though, for a start i doubt my insurance would cover it....also im pretty certain you're not allowed to work on trees within 5 meters of those lines? and ive also been told that the railways will do the work for free if its a hazard, i need to look into that. pulling it over is definetly out of the question, also roping it will be a pain as it kinda grows straight up through a horse chestnut.
