    Nice Brendon, beech are great trees to work on and look at. p.s. I'm in envy of the Grcs, lifting linbs usually means seriously strong groundie lol

    By mental you mean someone being objective and viewing the human-race as a part rather than the whole? As for evidance ask those some years senior to you about the climatic changes. Even as a child i remember genuine severe weather. I hold more faith in recent recorded history as opposed to so called infalable predictions.

    From what I have read the earth is still coming out of the last ice-age. However the repercusions of human actions, via the consumption and combustion of fossil fuels and natural resources, have drastically accelerated the process beyond a rate which our current flora and fauna can cope. Time to accelerate the process and instigate the demise of the human race, thus giving the rest of the world a chance to recover perhaps?

    Monkey-puzzle is a winter prune- the sap buildup on the cuts is unsightly and nodoubt stresses the tree via it's production. For me summer or midwinter. These days i'm leaning heavily toward summer as the tree is active and can react to any present pathogens imediatley, especially the reduction in fungal activity due to the warmer drier conditions

    Thankfully an optical illusion- he does need some better pads though

    Be honest, expect to start at the bottom, ditch the suit (tidy and casual in my books- your working for a living), be yourself and I hope you have plenty of luck! You stand as much of a chance as anyone else so go sell yourself.

    Some more random pics of the carrot-( oh sorry I mean poplar:001_tongue:) felling in north Norfolk with Ross. Blood hot day and no ET running about site for Dean to perve over thankfully

    it is not yet a legal requirement for a notification, but i'm not sure for a tpo application. I'm not sure of the date though but it's Nov when the planning regs change

    Fun and games this week in carrot munching land. Been killing some tall, skinny and half rotten poplars with Ross over the last couple of days. Most about 100ft, felling practice time:001_cool:
  16. Pete Mctree
    What a pointless contribution, thanks.
  17. Pete Mctree
    So are the sands of time matey:scared1: Was a very productive couple of days with a cool bunch of people. Nice trees climbed and plenty of fun had to boot.
  18. Pete Mctree
    Yes if there's room fell it. Why would anyone waste time and energy continuing to climb when the job's done?
  19. Pete Mctree
    It looks like a very dynamic set-up. I'm going to have to give that a go. Thanks for posting the pics
  20. Pete Mctree
    Not everyone has a fat ass like you Dean to land on
  21. Pete Mctree
    Fantastic reshape/reduction- you guy's should be proud of it
  22. Pete Mctree
    I usually give a couple or 3 quick blips on the saw throttle on noisy sites- works well when the team gets used to it
  23. Pete Mctree
    Here is a little research provided by Treemangineers on the sideloading issue- some suprising results http://www.treemagineers.com/downloads/Go_Configure.pdf
