  1. adansonia, the instructors and assessors at askham bryan are all top notch especially if you get dave Ford or colin olsen, they'll also give you the tricks of the trade which make life easier and they make the course fun even in the pouring rain so it all sinks in and you remember it all even ten years down the line like me.
  2. wozie, if you live on the wetherby side of leeds the best place to go for a brand new hedgetrimmer is harlands at green hammerton just off the A59 going towards york from the A1. They might even have an old one thats been part-exed.
  3. i've got most of the stephen ambrose books including pegasus bridge which was the first book he wrote about the second world war and a copy was given to all the veterans he interviewed for his subsequent books. However Wild Blue takes some getting into as it chops around between the crews of differnt planes in a squadron in italy. Another good read is Joseph Heller's Catch 22, I think everybody knows a major major or a milo minderbender! I have just finished reading all the bernard cornwell sharpe novels which are better than the tv series.
  4. Aire valley tree services are from horsforth area as they used to be based near leeds/bradford airport.
  5. I've used the biggest and the smallest of the timberwolf tracked chippers and have nothing but praise for them but the machines I've useed have all been hired in from Orange Plant so they have a good back-up service which is very good, for instance I had hired the 12" tracked machine and the nut on the discharge chute had worked itself loose and about 10 minutes after ringing to say the nut had disappeared there was a fitter putting a new one on!! but the I was only about ten minutes from the depot at tockwith.
