Why do all the good interesting jobs come up when i leave??? I'm very jealous, think of me will your playing, sitting in a classroom bored!!

Hey i would just like to thank everyone for their imput it was really helpful and made some good discussion points. I think the presentation went ok? Thanks again

The problem i also have is that most of the people at the presentaion have little or no experience with climbing so i'm am being very carefull how i pitch it. thanks again guys

I am looking at all types of ascenders commonly used in the industry, and i'm trying to give a fair review of there uses. I personally am not keen unless they are backed up, i prefer a klemhiest or prussick if i'm using an access line. Thanks for all your comments much appreciated

Hi I've got to give a presentation on ascenders and the pro's and cons of the devices we use in the industry. If anyone has anything they think would be useful comments, photo's or stories please contact me. I would be interested to hear peoples views as i thing if used correctly they are a great labour saving device but there are pit falls that inexperienced climbers fall in to literally. So if you have any comments they would be greatfully recieved. Ta

im in my 1st year of Bsc at myerscough and wondering what the hell im doing!! Miss the job and miss trees!!! But i think i've passed the first semester, panicing about dissertation already.

i wish i'd known about this before i moved up north to do a degree!!

That is one of the funniest and scariest things ive seen in a long time!

Hey I'm off to myerscough to start the foundation degree and the book they have recomended is one i've never heard of and i was wondering if anyones come accrss it and what you think. It is 'Arboriculture:Intergrated management of landscape trees, shrubs and vines.' As far as i can tell it's an american text book and i'm having problems sourcing it and as any arb book it costs a fair wack, so i want to know what it's like? Ta

It started out with his new book stuff, in alot of detail then he went onto new stuff he's working on at the moment. I think it was worth the money definately helped to understand wheres he's coming from and how it relates to our everyday work i.e. VTA... He's completey mad which in a strange way also helped!!!

to be honest i'm not sure as my boss paid for it but i think they start from around £100! I know his one day courses are about £400, but he's a genius so worth every penny!

Zubat i like the curved blade it seems to make cutting quicker and easier

very technical but interesting all the same it took me a few days to digest it but definatly worth the money!

Went to the Clause Mattheck lecture yesterday, it was brilliant. Made it easier to understand some of the more techniqual stuff in his books. Anyone else go?
