C1+E is the minimum required. However, to get there he needs to do C1, followed by C1+E, so one theory test, followed by two practical tests. The two practical tests are the same tests as for category C and C+E, so if you can swing it, I would suggest you get him through those instead, as he will then have a full HGV licence, which would be potentially useful to both the council and employee. I have done C+E, its not easy but with the right tuition anyone should be able to pass. To get through both tests will cost around £2000. You need to get in touch with your local LGV training companies, they are usually very helpful and will arrange the licence application, medical, and theory test, before booking him in for 2-3 days training before each practical test.

Cheapskate!

I would say if even one strand has been completely severed, then it is time to cut it down. In this case, as its gecko, I would throw it away and buy a decent rope instead!
-
Cut it down then. Not worth the risk imo. If it is fairly new and clean you may be able to get a new eye splice put on it.
-
Have you severed any of the strands? What rope is it, and how new is it?
-
Depends on the terrain, bit lower on soft ground with a big load of kit on for maximum spread and flotation, but for downhill racing on firm grass then as high as you dare.
-
Well, needs must and all that, but i dont like doing it myself. Bend radius, shock loading biners, blah blah blah! Know what you mean about pulleys with legs though!
-
Are you redirecting the lowering rope through a biner in pics 4-10? Nice pics btw, great website material.

Nice photos Tony, got a severe case of leylandiitis at the mo, I'll have to get down there for some R&R!

As long as your boots are clean!

Better than the current model falthiemer imo. Only time will tell as to durability, but out of the bag i would rather have the stein.

I'll be hot on your heels for 17th place Tony!

I prune beech trees whenever someone offers large bundles of used £20 notes with non-sequential serial numbers. I would be interested to know why I shouldnt though...

:hahaha::hahaha: No, your right. I have one, its excellent.

I'm sure Dean can trump that. My brother and I set fire to a gas main in my parents kitchen once. I'm sure Dean can trump that too.

Old willow pollard, well decayed but still growing strong.

a semi fallen willow across a footpath, with FBs. Pleurotus?

Another Daldinia?

Some pics I took today in grantchester. A stately old ash. The fruiting bodies are on a fallen limb.

They say that the day you buy your boat is the second happiest day of your life. The first most happy day is when you sell it again.....

Haix Trekker mountain are about the best I have tried, although I learned to footlock in the old brown tractor tread stihls, so anything is an improvement really.

Keeping woodchip clean isnt hard, and its pretty easy to sell regardless of moisture content. I dont think any domestic clients are going to put up with a flaming trailer parked on their drive, or on the road outside their house. The first time you set fire to a phone line you will probably wish you have the timberwolf instead. You could buy a reasonable secondhand chipper, even something other than a timberwolf if you detest them that much, for £5K, and have a useful machine for all your work, rather than something you can only use on a handful of jobs. On the other hand, you could just load up the trailer with brash, and stack it in your yard to deal with later. Obviously i should point out that burning it once transported would be illegal.

You know Dave, if you took the bucket off and put a hook and or grapple on the boom, they are remarkably similar to your setup!
