the tree will try to defend itself by putting up walls to contain any decay(codit) regardless of that an opening for pathogens has been created as well as a weak point in the tree

i couldnt find my old stretches sheet, but il call my physio tomorrow and see if she can give me a copy. obviously its different for everyone but at least it will get you started. oh and a couple of goes with the old ultrasound machine if the physio has one does wonders in reducing the inflamation

As shrek has told me I won so I thought this would be a good one for you lot to come up with a good caption for, good luck!!!

portugese laurel

electical tape(the climbers friend) wrapped around it.then you can cut it off if you want to adjust it, plus wont affect loler

get yourself a good physio, try stretching before you get out of bed in the morning and before bed at night, il see if i can find my old stretching guide

is that the set up with ascender with footloop and a pantin, any pics

steve,or anyone else. Can you post some pictures of your srt setups, after trying srt very very briefly the other day i can completely see its benefits for access.

look forward to seeing what your trying

its hard work setting up the 2 ropes and getting up there but great fun when you get into it, i did all my practicing in a missmanaged wood when i got started and most of the trees were about a foot wide and 70 feet high, tricky wee tree mate well done

hehe the ropes were the easy bit. couldnt wait to get back on the ground and hand the invoice over

these pics are from a very small job i did taking down a sninny woodland ash leaning over a power line, it was pretty sketchy and didnt really fancy climbing it, so i climbed the one next to it and traversed accross to knock the top out. i had to set 2 lines onto 2 other trees to stop it springing back after id taken the top out. at one point i dont mind admitting i didnt think i was going to be able to do it but i couldnt face my brother(my groundy) ripping the piss out of me for ever for chickening out. anyway the customer was stoked and ive got a load of work off the back of it:001_cool:

speedy recovery buddy

thats the 7901, cant really fault it appart from makita are being crap on sending out spare at the moment. the 9010 is a much older saw. the newer range has been changed quite alot, mr ed can probably tell you more about it than me

yeah that platforms ok, used it a fair few times for different types of jobs, amazing some of the spaces you can get it into

it pretty much was money for nothing

not often you get just the fun bit and dont have to do all the crap

yeah it was a while ago, were you picking up the platform from dial a digger.which wessex guy are you the big guy, the other gut, or the younger guy

nice makita dont have one but used a few bet she tore through the pine?

brilliant saw

spent the afternoon felling 6 scots pine and dismantling 2 more at mark knophlers house near lymington, what a place and a good oppertunity to knock some good sized pines over
