    Put myself through college. Worked for a few companies over the early years. Set myself up freelance about 7 years ago. So you could say it was my own hard work.

    DOH!, Me being dozy, I reckon the rains washed a few of the remaining brain cells away. A 30 metre rope would allow for 30 metre trees or 29 metre, allowing 1 metre for the running bowline. It was meant to be tongue in cheek as Old Mill Trees seems to be a bit evangelical about the RW. I have a couple of 45 ish metre ropes and a 20 which seems to suit the work I get. Seem to be using the 45 metre Tachyon a lot lately.

    I was half expecting you to say to buy a 30 metre rope, rope wrench and climb srt so it'll be good for 60 metre trees.

    I worked, got very wet, got the job done and went home. Northern Grit in the land of the south.

    Didn't fancy this pretty skinny oak. Toe to tip in ivy and fair amount of dog rose in there to boot. Closed the car park area as I knew the tips would be in there. Gobbed nice an high. Bobs you mams brother, no climbing there.

    Me too.

    Picked up a bit of Tachyon at the AA show the other week. Spliced this up when I got back. I also was given some twisted wire, rubber coated from a bike lock and inserted it into the eye of a rope guide I made earlier. Works a treat and only had a problem retrieving once when it chokered to a stem and the eye half hitched on itself.

    Some may say it is heartless, but there had better be quite a few pounds on the table for me to rescue a cat. You never know, the tree surgeon may have turned up and said 100 quid to the owner... They refused to pay, he declines to do it. Suddenly he is the PUSSY! Would I be a Pussy too if I refused the job?

    I emailed a couple of dates and he responded with a thank you via email. I only had one day in the week he asked about so probably didn't fit into his plans.

    Get it Aaron and show me how to splice it up.

    I had a Packet of sainsbury's choccy biscuits when I got home. Finished them off with 11 'ses this morning. Call me Sherlock, but felix I think they might have been yours as I dont shop at Sainsbury's and rarely buy choccy biscuits. They were a nice treat though.

    Camping is one of the perks of this show.

    Back home now. Cheers Matty for arranging a social event based around killing a poplar. Cheers Steve for the t-shirts. It was a good day and many hands and all that...!

    Where are you based exactly Al?
  18. Rich Rule
    Haha. Crash, bang, whallop, job done. They must have done it for the wood as no one got paid! How can they pay 18 blokes out of 3 truck loads of poplar..? Haha!
  19. Rich Rule
    Arran, I thought you were not long out off college? Have you started up on your own then? On another note, after you finished your work climb did a fella shout Aaron and mistakingly you said yes? If so that was me...
  20. Rich Rule
    Thatll be alright then... Haha. Still wouldn't cat h me doing much more than an oil change or something similar.
  21. Rich Rule
    Excellent stuff. BBC News - NeverSeconds school dinner blog donations soar

    Easy to say when you haven't got 40k's worth of bits in front of you. Personally, I would have someone who knows what they are doing have a crack. I am all thumbs when it comes to anything more than basic mechanics.
  23. Rich Rule
    Cheers Gareth.
  24. Rich Rule
    Gareth did you rig the brash off the stem first or use the crane to remove the green bits? Nice job.

    A couple of pics of a dead Sweet Chestnut removal a couple of weeks ago. Didn't fit to fell so I cut the top off and flopped the butt!
