    Felling an elm in wantage hopefully this week so any useful tip sites in the area would be great. It will be wood chip and possibly timber any help much appreciated. I have also put up a thread if anyone is just interested in the wood cheers for any help.

    I have travelled from basingstoke to cirencester about hour and 45 only three days and also basingstoke to welwyn garden city which was only a day. I dont mind these on occasions as you got to go where the money is but if it was more regular then a more fuel efficient motor would be an idea, i love the landy but a mileage machine it is not

    By the bridge on the main road opposite the dove cote there are three little cottages, its the one at the back with a garden that has the river either side. Its a great little village been going up there years as they used to own one of the front cottages called riverside i think, sorry for the derail by the way

    Especially with some recent threads wanting climbers at short notice this would help them by having instant access to local guys within their area

    I think the added value would be potentially more work as potential employers could just find someone in their area instead of trawling through threads. I would be interested in this idea.

    best thing is to have a go fella, there was a girl at the apf who i believe works for forestry journal and she had a go having never tried it and she got to the top. Fair play to her trying at one of the biggest shows of the year. Its all good fun and people will help you out, you may surprise yourself
  22. ben lightfoot
    I appreciate your response guys i thought i was going to get tortured with a welcome to the real world response. keep up the great work and maybe see you at some shows later in the year

    Think log dog is right if you give them something to pull you for they will try and find something. Overloaded may void insurance meaning driving with no insurance plus fine plus i possibly impounding vehicle plus driving without correct license a few points and fines can add up

    Like i said rosey im not out to criticize every photo out there we have all been caught with visor up etc. I had a short stint in the states and i know if i post the photos up then i would get a right old ball bashing, only my point is that its a publication aimed at the professional side. I dont mean to sound like a hse snitch
