    thats not bad for a mk1 at all , i must admit if i could get into rallying i would , i had a few weekends up at Rally school and was doing really well but to get into it at an ameture stage still costs a bloody fortune

    Thanks Yeti, it realy appreciate your advice and will keep you posted on how i get on , asd for enching at ver six foot i totally agree it is a bit awkward , i think using a wide arm stance is part of the problem but several guys that also train seem to think its the best way to get stacked pecs

    660 bhp in a Fiesta !!!!! the guy is a legend , i wonder if he fancies lending me his scooby lol
  4. combined tree services
    im pretty sure if you give the hi lux an extra 500 bhp then he would gladly do it lol. as for his rallying im not to impressed by his times but with a bit of luck i will get to see this first hand in wales this year for the gb stages of the wrc

    wicked thanks for the advice , a little more background , im 6"2 tall , 203kg, and built like the average prop forward . in all fairnes i have only been training for about 7 months but still feel i could do much muh better , also i do find that eating well is not to easy in this line of work , i really do need to sort out a better diet/ food planner
  7. combined tree services

    hiya , i have been training a split 3 day programe - chest and back , arms and shoulders , lages , abs are trailned every session along with 35-40 mins of interval training after each sesion . not the problem im finding is that my progres is slow to none when it comes to benching , i just can not get past 125-130 kg , but my other compound lifts (squatt and dead lift) are still progressing , tonght i was happily squatting 175 kg for 5x5 . the idea behind this programe is to still build muscle and gain strength whilst shredding boddy fat .

    i once worked at a company in devon where climbers were paid a climbers wage (£70 on the books) and groundies were on a groundies wage (£55 on the books) . One of the groundies felt that because he could Fell well , maintain saws well (he could sharpen like a mofo), could drive the fast track and timber trailer oh and could use the M.E.W.P for simple jobs he felt that he shold be paid as much as a climber . But all the climbers could cover all of those jobs so why should the groundy get any extra pay ?
  13. combined tree services
    what size ?
  14. combined tree services
    i personally think that it is not possible to equate wages to a role , its more important to set a wage to a man's skill , the guys that work for me are top chaps that do not feel they have a set role, our outlook is that if you can see a job that needs doing then get on with it there is certainly no them and us betwne climbers and groundies .
  15. combined tree services
    failing that give me a shout , i have a 2007 saw thats sat here doing nowt, i could let you have it fot £225
  16. combined tree services
    which im most cases is selective and mainly one sided lol , i worked for a guy and when ever anyone mentioned a pay rise he would reply " i am currently reviewing it" i got sick of this so asked him when this review would determin whether any of us were ever going to see a pay rise, his answer - hmmm best i review that too !!!!
  17. combined tree services
    oh right , i had not thought of that huck , i will certainly see how far it blows wet conifer before spending out on the parts to fit it to the front , having said that i way well sell the junkkari and get a front mount schlies or ducker if one comes around at the right price
  18. combined tree services
    i would say give the 372 a go , they are great saws and ideal for hours and hours of logging , i would not bother with the 441 , we had one here for a short while , both myself and the guys that work for me wanted to use it , we would all much rather take the old husky 288xp out to site . if you want a little more power again then why not go for the 390 xp ? i was using tommers last sunday and now i MUST have one , it seemed to have bag loads of power and bottom end grunt .
  19. combined tree services
    i was in the same sort of situation as you and i did go of on my own in the end BUT be prepared to work for alot less and work more hours if you do go off on your own . i have spent all of this week out on site working then spent all of today untill 8 in the workshop servicing kit and repairing kit and i will be back out there tomorow first thing for most of the day finnishing off what i did today followed by sorting out all the kit we need for mondays job . Also i would be very crefull going of on your own in todays current financial limate , if where you are is anything like down here then every man and his dog are becoming tree surgeons
  20. combined tree services
    as stated alredy i would but a tractor and loader - verry versitile and usefull out on site too .
  21. combined tree services
    dont get me wrong im not knocking you , i have hung from the bucket of out platform many of times
  22. combined tree services
    yeah been in the penryn area Ady , we were on a stinking clearence job , but twas great fun ofroading in the mog however i did get the mazda seriously stuck in a boggy field/ river ha ha ha ha ha . where did you see us too ?
  23. combined tree services
    without sounding like im having a personal dig but do you think anyone from the HSE ever have a look on sites like Arb Talk ??
  24. combined tree services
    to be totally honest it is rather costly and if you are serious about getting into industrial rope access then you will need level 1 and 2 for sure . i used to do most of the clearence work for a company called celtic rock , i spent all of my time working from a single line and safety line , the work was varied from clifs over roads and railways ,beeches etc right up to working in a couple quarys in north wales . Trust me the first 20 or 30 dropps are reat fun but it quickly becomes rather dull . Well at least untill your on a quary face while they are blasting at the other end of the quary lol . If i were you and looking into getting into rope access then maybe get a job with a firm first .Trust me there is alot of red tape involved .
  25. combined tree services
    that is an option but A) brand new is out of the question and b) i have not seen any for sale in a long time .
