  1. saying that waiting til it's in full leaf could give you a more accurate picture
  2. it is a typical symptom. i'd not wait too long to either reduce heavily or fell. the deterioration can be rapid
  3. If all the kit is new, then it is deemed to be tested
  4. are the leaves chlorotic and is there apical die back and seperation/splitting of the bark from the timber due to cambium death yet? edit ah ok more pics. I would be suprised if it did recover as it looks quite advanced, but as Bob said some do
  5. trust you to not only notice, but to freeze frame and note the time:scared: I do worry about you mr Bullman:wave:
  6. that i always see as irresponsable behavior unless there is noone or nothing below them
  7. That's a monster. Nice piece of kit you have to tidy up after lol
  8. Great news Iain. I have an idea how hard you have worked to achieve this. Get yourself a bottle and enjoy!

  12. Ditto, was a great day. Many thanks to Dean for organising it (and his mrs for doing the food shopping ). Nice to have some relaxing climbing time with a great bunch. Plenty of laughing and joking, especially watching skyhuck in a spin:wave:. It should defiatley be repeated when the weather is a little warmer though- the camping and drinking would be a worthy addition
  13. Like any of us will have such a luxury. I bet Dean willl have opened the container before i get there
  14. Anonymity is relevant. No doubt you could be identified with a few phone calls, but thats not the point. It's about sharing and progressing , not hiding. If I had a website, trust me, I'd post it everywhere for the search engines to find. Free advertising never hurts
  15. The accident statistics in the uk are inclusive of any homeowner/amateur accidents. The gov. uses them to beat the industry about the head with
  16. You better leaving them in there harness partially suspended then ?
  17. I was talking about the length, they should be adjusted as long as possible
  18. geckos are more comfortable for me, others prefer trad spikes. Are the ones you using adjusted correctly?
  19. I have a 20, 35, 40 and 45. 40 is most used
  20. Self rescue if your cut is usually the ONLY option. Time is against you, and you don't have much of it!
  21. or if the casualties line is intact, you can transfer to that and use you own lifeline to move you both back to the centre of the tree. But i like your idea better Peter
  22. i'm going to bring my thermals if it does not warm up soon!
  23. If you are unsure of the length required, you could always phone them and ask for recomendations. A 35 or 40m rope is usually sufficient for 90% of tree work imho
  24. Another method is to get steradent, or any other cleaner for false teeth. drop a couple of tablets in and leave overnight
  25. it's about habitat creation, not visual amenity. I think you missunderstand it's function Butch
