  1. Little pocket money job today...ivy removal from all the little apple trees in the garden. Easy with my Pocket-boy.
  2. Potter on cos I'm 46 and that's my top speed these days:)
  3. In London I've known climbers get between £120 and £160....I potter on and am happy with £120 (but I have climbed for a LOT less)....the top figure was for a full on commercial speed, top notch reducer and rigger....
  4. And that got me this.....I just pushed myself.
  5. I started looking for work with this...travelled 12 miles a day to work...started a thread......
  6. I thought you'd never ask mate...will be in touch:thumbup::thumbup:
  7. Just been for a morning walk around the neighbourhood.Can you guess where I am this week?
  8. 291 miles later and I still have half a tank.....put my foot down when it got dark and had the motorway to myself...60mph to 70 was quick....70-80 even quicker! Didn't take it furthur although I'm sure it would do 100 easiy.i'm no boy racer.....60 does me fine....so here I am again..Kew...the lady I am working for said that she had a room all made up for me and insisted i sleep there and so after a couple of glasses of Pinot I am signing off for the night...goodnite Arbtalkland:)
  9. This vehicle is my office my transport and for tonight.....my bedroom:D
  10. Thanks Clive....you are next on the list before I return North.
  11. I used to get on my bicycle and look for work...my pick-up seems like a world away from those days as I enjoy my evening meal with the heater on and easy listening radio filling the cab...
  12. 7.20 and still mild outside...18 degrees tommorow:cool:
  13. Kew village for a couple of days work....then off to Surrey for a week with Johny Burch....just done 180 miles on slightly over quarter of a tank....60 mph all the way at a steady 2, 500 rpm. The Navara loves the motorway. 100 miles to go:)
  14. Even printed out myself some posters...at least its a bit warmer where I'm going.anyway coffee break over, 70 miles done only 218 to go!
  15. Yes you guessed it.i'm on the road.......again. this will be the last long distance run for a long time.i've enjoyed being a Grandad and being around my family.I will be helping Gray Git as and when but until then most of the work seems to be in tbe South.
  16. It places the wood nice and neat...
  17. I do like the way you put a video together.
  18. I'll try it, but having used a zigzag for over a year and only needing a pulley saver for total coverage of a tree with minimal effort I'm unsure as to your redirect. Like a Spiderjack you can skip about most limbwalks without that system.......I dunno.....keep practicing mate..see you soon!
  19. that is also one way.....i,ll be trying that out by the summer i reckon...or sooner if i see you OMT.
  20. True...but I would never wsnt to fell such a beautiful tree in a wnderful location.
  21. What are you doing in Dubai Mate?
