  1. To me, that's part of the beauty of being able to see so much of the London skyline from view points like HH. I love the juxtaposition of the old and the new and the way that view is constantly changing and evolving. Your pics bring it home just how mind blowingly BIG the new tower is! Do you find that you take it for granted and that you don't even notice it any more? For example, I can see Wembley Stadium from mine and I've become so used to it I forget it's there.
  2. Bet the swearbox was full after the second one!

    My project....

    Hahahaha, I lived in one of them more years ago than what I'm going to admit to here! Great project . Please keep us posted with updates and piccies.
  4. A well known fixture on G maps ! BenR, I think you're gonna have to clear your inbox after that little setup
  5. Thanks for the heads up on that - I've now booked my place
  6. I wouldn't mind turning up just as a spectator. It's been many years since I've climbed, but I think a reminder of techniques would be good
  7. When are you going to get some work in more civilised parts of the country?
  8. So what you're really saying is that you can't be bothered and you want us to do your work for you? I'd love to see you try that when you're employed!!! You've been given an interesting assignment that is very straightforward. I think most people on this site would be happy to help and give you advice on where to find the info, but if you need motivate yourself as noone else is going to do it for you.

  10. A few pics from today's REME meet at Deepcut to whet you appatite for abusing yourself: Bikes, trees and utilities
  11. Ahem, back on track... ;-) Hard to say for sure just from that pic, but I see something similar a lot on Rosacea, especially Sorbus'. It's not vehicle damage, it's bark / sapwood necrosis. In this case it may be associated with the decay columb to the right of the pic. In Sorbus it's generally due to Nectria canker and can lead to basal / trunk failure.
  12. I'm going to be in Blandford on the Sunday, so I can be one of the gawpers blocking up the tiny A road Glad there were no casualties, other than the properties.
  13. Hope there are no casualties, either from the fire or the gawpers causing a pile up.
  14. I initially thought that too, but the holes are too large at 1cm. So, dunno
  15. Nesting birds, WHAT nesting birds? I was asking coz' I know when I've organised LA work at that time of year, it's easy enough to prune around the nest or just leave the tree for a few weeks. I'm interested in how you'd go about such a large scale tree removal when you have CROW 2000 et al to contend with as it's not something I know about.
  16. How many of Andy's Burnham team did MonkeyD have to quietly assassinate to get his crew shipped in, I wonder!
  17. I love the pics with the helicopter. You simply wouldn't get that level of effort over a tree in this country. Bet it took more than a couple of stakes and rubber strapping to keep it stable afterwards!
  18. Bonsai is about reducing a tree's vigour and growth as I understand it, so I'm a bit lost as to why this will encourage root growth Have you got any more details on this from you mate?
  19. On a slight tangent, how are you going to deal with nesting birds if you carry out the removals at that time of year? I'm genuinely interersted and not just being agent provoceteour .
  20. At the risk of being repetative... WOW! I haven't seen many C. kashmirianas and they've all been mere babies in comparison to that one, even after it's pruning.
  21. Really? TBH, I have only the flimsiest knowledge of the landscaping world and the qualification heirachy is an unknown to me. Still thought I'd dive into this thread regardless of that!
  22. Damn! That's my beach holiday with my old 020 by my side out the window then
  23. Hang him!!! I'm with Steve on this - if he's working as a landscape architect, no matter what his quals are, then surely he's entitled to say as much? If he didn't claim to be chartered then I can't see that there's any problem. If the other persons in the conversation assumed he's chartered then it's their mistake.
