Birdlip was closed, we never come that way anyway, I came up the A435 from cirencester to cheltenham, carnage! And the A40 was closed coming in to cheltenham form the east.

They are all on here somewhere......

Yes, you need 4od. Download the whole player first then choose the programs you want. I've never found it that user friendly TBH and it doesn't always work. BBCi player is far bettererer.

A non turbo 2L legacy is ideal, not too fast and good for pulling.....!! Turbos are for guys who can't pull!!!!
-
The imprezze doesn't deserve to be consdidered in the same catagory as a owrkign car IMO. Totally different car, driven by different poeple. The legacy is a workign car and the forester is better due to higher ground clearance.

I wish I had been in mine tonight instead of the LDV¬!!!!

I just got home, 20 miles in 4 hours!!!! And more to come apparnetly. Chaos on the roads, a lot of van drivers are making it worse by being tossers! I wasn't driving so I walked 3 miles ahead through the traffic jam to help push vehicles past a frozen patch on an incline, when I got there no one was helping!. I help most 2 weel drive vehicles except any with able bodies passengers, includign a few builders who expected me to push while they sat on there arses. No chance! I gave some abuse, it was all good fun.

My main camera takes them at 2304 x 1728, <4MP, which I guess is not huge compared to some cameras these days?

Oh I see. Well get your self some decent trees and then see who turn up! All you need is something to make targets with for limbwalking. We did some at westonbirt once, just used marker tape tied on the ends of branches instead of bells and then timed each other round all the markers. Worked well!

I've never resized any steve? Always seems to work ok?

HAve you got HGV tickets? If not try and get them before you leave, they will be worth as much to you as any chainsaw tickets!

I fyou want to run a proper comp then it would best to contact the ISA, they will give you the support you need. Theres is a lot more to it than just finding a location. If you just want to practice in trees (which is my understanding of what you need/want) then you just need to find some large open crown trees, preferably not single stem, Oak, beech etc are good, and get practicing. I would suggest you need a few years experience in comps before thinking about settign up your own.

Thanks....!!!

Then he should be one of those not so well paid climbers then? Often the fellign is best left to the groundie, but that depends on experience.

The important thing is to knwo where the pictures are on your computer? Don't worry about what software you are using to store and manage the pictures, as that is probably just something that communicates with your camera and give you a nive interface when veiwing the pics. Most of the time pictures will automatically get stored in the "my pictures" or "pictures" folder on your computer. Once you know where they are its easy. Whne replying use the "go advanced" feature. Then as said before click the paper clip icon above the text window. The browse for the picture you want, its easy if you know where it is! Once you find the pic click it, and browse for another if required or just click up load. Once its ready the up loader window can be closed, return to your post and submit it and it will now include the picture !

In my oppinion, the best groundie is another climber - end of!!! Sure, but often you need a gorundie who is a climber, and another groundie who is a dragger. Two different jobs, one comes with responsibility the other doesn't. Different pay for differnet responsibilities. The climber/groundie is fulfulling the rescue position as well that is a big important factor. The more groundies you need for a job the cheaper each one should be.
-
Its all on your insurance then! The climber with his own insurance is still covered by yours not his while workign on your jobs.
-
Same thing with a climber, he can bring all the kit in the world but if he can't get on and get the job done then he's not worth much. If the boss can get away from site and know everything is ok then that is worth money, the person who gets it could be climber or groundie but its the responsibilty they take that earns it and not the kit they bring.
-
I agree Andy, but most companies have tools and fuel, and need labour! 2 years exp. and no rescue ticket is brush dragging and 80 a day is good rates. I agree though that a good groundie is worth the same a sa climber, but that groundie would probably be somoene like you who knows the job, can liase between customer and climber, can sharpen every machine in site, clear up make tea, direct traffic, lower branches, split wood be entertaining etc etc. The groundie that is worth the money is more of a foreman really and has groundies under his command. He would ensure that the whole job is done correctly and this would involve telling the climber what to do as well. This level of responsibity is where the money is, and bringing an extra saw and fuel with you does equate to the same thing.
-
What kit would you need though? If your grounding, you might use a saw a bit, but any company would have a saw for that. Are you goona bring your own rake? Own PPE of course, but after that there is very little required?

And Aventix in cheltenham but they don't stock much. Arborist/Tree Climbing -

You don't get any of it "back". You just don't pay tax on it. College courses and tickets etc are 100% tax deductable so you pay no tax on the full value of it, but you don't get anything back.
-
It might be the same one? I saw it on auto trader, dealer was in macclesfield. I hope you got it for less than the autotrader price?? If the doors are ally already then what does it weigh as is? Is it long or extra long wheelbase ?

Oh, you shouldn't have bumped this old load of rubbish up!!
