Pretty sure its the same test. I only did it for HGV, but all the clips looked the same as everyone elses!

Are you watching the current series? I love FOTC!

You could sell it as accessory cord?

Ha! I crashed my Dad's astra twice in identical circumstances in the space of 9 months...... Straightened it out each time and it ran for years afterwards.

It all burns.

I need a self employed groundie for Monday 1st June to work in cambridge. Tickets and experience not essential. There will hopefully be more work subsequently.

I have moved conifers of that size, the single most important thing is the aftercare. I always put a coil of perforated pipe in the new planting hole, underneath the rootball, so that when you water it the water doesnt just sit on the surface. The rootball is likely to be pretty heavy, have you got machinery for moving it? When next year are you doing the moving? With regard to staking, I have always guyed, but your client may not want visible support, in which case you'll need to look at some sort of rootball strapping system.

Only if you do your sums right!

Do be careful with using new rope and new hitch cord at the same time, the coatings on the ropes can make it super slick. If possible try to use broken in hitch cord on a new rope, or if you have to use both new then use an extra wrap or so until its worn it a bit. Other than that, 8mm cord tends to work very nicely with 11mm rope.

If you like the treemagic you'll probably like the sequoia. They are both minimal and lightweight. The big plus for the sequioa for me is the srt attachment, as it is great for footlocking and srt, and there is no buckle on the front to dig in to you. On the minus side there is no quick release on the waist belt. Of course if thats an issue buy the non srt version. The sequioa has plenty of adjustment options, so chances are you can set it up to be similar to the TMagic. I dont think either of them will last very long in daily use though.

Waiting around for other people never got me anywhere, thanks for the vote of confidence anyway.

Where do I sign up then Lee, sounds ideal!

Yes, you can get one that sends a text message straight to your mobile. It is quite expensive to buy, but there is no annual subscription as there is no continuing "service". Cant remember who makes or sells them though.

£2k doesnt sound like too much for mutiple TPOd oaks?

Well, we craned the tracked chipper in over the wall and chipped it all into the woodland round the edge of the cemetary, and then craned all the big timber out. All the small timber disappeared literally as fast as we could cut it up, the firewood vultures had a field day!

Got a terrible quality pic of the beech here, cant find one of the lime.

Yes, some builders cut all the roots on one side off to put in new footings for a wall, surprise surprise a little while later the Silver Lime and a huge beech next to it fell over. Demolished the wall in two places as well, which I thought was somewhat poetic!
