    We glazed our new lowering rope first time out, using the tree for to slow lumps of wood. Use it with care and don't let the lowered item run long a long way. It's also quite hard to guess how many wraps are needed. I gave my partner a good suprise with too much friction !!

    Stinky fish and rice today, with extra chilli, just what is needed on a cold wet day.

    I'm alergic to london planes, which thankfully are fairly scarce in west wales. The last time i had to work on one, i took a couple of puritans before starting, which reduce the effects. You will also be pleased to note that the last bad alergic reaction that i had took six months to clear up. Bet you are glad when people tell you things like with this

    Just wait until you are overhanging a greenhouse, or an expensive caravan. Good two handed practice tends to go out the window or MEWP

    It should have been a cherry picker, but the ground was too soft, and the wind was too strong. Tipically when i was removing the top branches the weather provided some exciting gusts

    Any body having an accident with a chainsaw, and/ or up a tree, is classed as a professional, reguardles of wether they are or not. So all the D.I.Yers and lop and top merchants are 'professional'. I would like to see the breakdown of some of these figures, and how many of these accident are by true professional. May be we should keep an log of accident by Arb talk menbers, so that we have some figures that we can compare with the H.S.E. This might provide a more realistic figure of what is actually happening

    Customer rang me up tuesday evening, having just freed two people that were trapped in their caravan. Part of the tree landed on the caravan whilst they were watching telly. Amazingly there was only one small crumpled bit and a broken skylight. The wood that is stacked in picture four is what fell on the caravan. What was left of the tree was not in good condition. Half way up there was gaping pressure crack that was opening and closing with the wind. Thank heavens for ratchet straps. And various blown and broken branches. This is the scareyest tree that i have had to climb for a while, and the gusts of wind were a great help.

    Given the vast array of bad practices that go on in modern forestry because thay have always be done like that, your system works well for you and will in all probablility keep safe. However it is the unexpected that causes problem. These problems are generally unforeseable, and will therefore not be on your risk assessment. If it works for you and you can justify it tell them to get off site as they are compromising your safety ! Rant rant rant
