    Just thought that i'd let you all know about this. its a very simple comp with just a speed climb and work climb. we will be running it at the same time as the tree-athalon takes place and numbers will be strictly limited, so first come first served. it might be nice if a few of you arbtalks could turn up to support both events. craig

    rumour has it that ISC are doing something along that line of thought, its in the final stages of development, 'tweaking' i think its called, but the prototype look good

    footlocking is 80% technique, but good boots wont make you 20% better! avoid boots with large heels as the rope slips through. at work i wear hiax protectors which i find ok, for footlocking at work, have not competed for a while but i have a pair of salamon boots for other climbing days, which have lasted very well. craig p.s. the boot rule for the comps has been changed, make sure that you read the most up to date version, which will also help you understand how the comp is scored. you dont have to place in any event to get into the masters!

    very true but also there has never been a 'law' to say you cant use A's just best pratice to say you should'nt!!

    lots of points going on and i agree it would have been great to see some real arbs come and finnish the job off correctly. but how can the BBC justify letting them come back a second day and continue. the BBC was the employer full stop. so many H&S breaches that they let happen, dont see how they can get away with it! it wasn't even good telly craig

    for my sins i have very recently started to sit on the NOS:confused1: new arb boy in old boys forestry club, it takes about three years to make changes so this change started long years ago! we have started to rewright the NOS for a working arb view once this is done (3 years) lantra/nptc look at it to see if there are any gaps that they can fill with more units, previously the arb NOS has had a lot of input from forestry and trainers:sneaky2:

    its walking distance from the train station, the park is nearly in the center of town. there is no camping in any parks in sweden, but there is a campsite a few clicks away, by the sea, near where the bridge come across!

    quite simple, i agree. i dont want to hi-jack this thread, but lets not forget that NPTC is a BACIS leavel of competence. it is the level of skill needed to pass test, and not all the skills needed to have a career in this industry. i still consider that i'm still learning and hope to do so for many years to come, but what i want to learn its not been taught NPTC, that does not make it wrong or unsafe. just my ten pence worth craig

    just add tree boats, a bottle of something strong, game plan!
  24. Craig Johnson

  25. Craig Johnson
