It would appear that the link does not work. I am in the process of sorting this. For now use this link (tried it and it seemed to work): https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-the-rhs/work-for-the-rhs/vacancies Scroll down and you should see the job advert. Cheers Chris

Hello All, Not to be confused with the traineeship that I posted about 2 months ago. This is for a full time position (37.5 hrs p/w) within the Arboriculture team at Wisley. The beginning of the advert again, is more directed towards horticulture, but as it states, this is one of the world’s best gardens and horticulture is the main emphasis. The job however, is primarily Arboriculture, day to day duties include all aspects of tree works carried out on the mature trees situated within the garden and the wider estate, as well as carrying out tree inspections on the approximate 3000 trees within the garden (plus wider estate) that are under ownership of the RHS. There is a small amount of hedge trimming, log splitting and other minimal duties that we are asked to carry out from time to time with the basic running of a garden of this size. We have excellent tree climbing, rigging and other equipment and you have the potential to gain more qualifications and further your knowledge. Please find a link to the RHS website below with details on how to apply: https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-the-rhs/work-for-the-rhs/vacancies/horticulturist-(arboriculture-team) If you have any questions, drop me an inbox message. Good luck.

A little late with this i have been catching up but back to page 13 or 14 i think it was about aerial rescue. We were practicing aerial rescue on tue at work with two persons weight on a zig-zag and all seemed fine, no noticeable change in the way it ran or amount of pressure applied to descend.

Hello All, Looking for work for the 25th, 26th and 27th of February (one day or all 3 whatever suits) Basically I am inbetween jobs and could do with the work. I can climb OR ground, again whatever suits, just trying to fill in the week. Willing to travel, based near Reigate so Surrey, Sussex, West Kent etc Thanks for any help (PM to contact) Chris

Move the speed bump? or the access road? no risk if you remove the target.

right i climbed the gloucseter tree near Pemberton last year while walking the bib track and camped underneath some big karri's but unfortunalty didnt have any climbing kit would have loved to climb one properly, cheers for getting back to us, again nice video

Nice Video and is a white gum a Karri? and was this tree south of Pemberton somewhere?

Met this feller at the australian nationals up in darwin which i i think he won and was using this system in the masters climb, anyway does anybody know of a uk stockist for the kong futura ascender? had a quick look through google and also on caving sites but nothing comes up only other option is to ring someone who sells something made by kong and see if they can get hold of one. just thought i would ask first.

yeah worked for them 3 years ago roughly good company alot of policies and procedures but i think thats the way they have to be all in all good though. not sure if it makes a difference but wasnt in this country.
