I have 4 webbing slings, 1, 2, 3, and 4 m. Serviced in early 2010. Also have a long felling lever for sale, only used a few times.

3200kg Yaletrac winch + long length of cable (20m I think) + 3 new,unused webbing slings, will check lengths tomorrow. Winch was sent to Yaletrac for service in either 2009 or 2010, I'll try to find receipt tomorrow. £300. Located in Norfolk. Tel:07506641999

Well, I suppose technically it's not illegal, but I expect a chartered landscape architect wouldn't be happy. The man mistook common norfolk reeds for purple melic grass!!!

I overheard someone the other day saying he was a landscape architect (not down the pub, but to 2 HSE officers) even though there is no way he's a chartered landscape architect, he didn't even know what MLI meant (Member of the Landscape Institute). How do people get away with talking such bull? He's just landed himself a job as a landscape manager as well.

I'm also after a CS34 course, wouldn't mind travelling to somewhere like TFK Training, I see they have a course date set for February, if anyone else is interested in making up numbers.

I've got 2 saws, but I'm probably going to have to give it up for a while soon, childcare costs are so high I end up earning £1/hr some weeks.

Stihl MS260 with 16" bar for sale, fitted with decompressor, lack of work forces sale.

Offers via arbtalk or text/call (I'm in a poor signal area though) me on 07506 641999, located in Norfolk.

Spoke to Clare at BTS the other day and am going to do CS32 there, she said that CS34 was being revised/replaced at the moment, any further info on this?

Why CS50? - cheaper than doing CS32 and CS34.

Assisted felling. Isn't it basically CS34(windblown) for small trees up to 15"?

Does anyone know of any CS50 courses running in the East this year? Tried Lark Valley Training and BTS but they're not running any.

Winch is a Yaletrac 32.

Based in East Dereham.

Does anyone know where to get a Tirfor type hand winch repaired in Norfolk?

Also took some pictures of a Fungi on an ash tree, any ideas?

The top surface is crusted and cracked, the new growth has only recently started. There's a fair amount of dead smaller branches in the canopy, do you think I need to get a consultant to have a look, as it's near a building and at the top of a steep bank?

Could anyone please tell me if this is Ganoderma on this Beech tree?

Has anyone seen the results of Allicin injections? I think JCA Arb consultants do it in this country.

So would the cheapest way of doing it would be to train for CS32 and ask to be assessed for CS31.4 and CS32 at the same time?

Can I take CS32 if I've only got CS10 and CS11? Nptc website says I need CS30 and CS31 - aren't these similar?

Can someone please recommend a PTI qualified person in Norfolk?

I don't suppose anyone has any sample questions, (or can remember any), from the ISA certified arborist exam? Is the plant ident pictures or real plants? Thinking of taking it this October and wasn't quite sure of the difficulty level.

Hi, I might be interested, any idea of cost? I'm in Dereham, so ideal location for me.
