Grab a straight roung log and make one, we even do them out of leylendii, put a firelighter on top to get it going and voila!

your a bit slow to the party, there's a thread on here somewhere called swedish candles:001_tt2:

There will be more in other places:biggrin: You'll just have to fill us all in Matt:thumbup: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Haha, how's it going, you found somewhere yet? I've got a woodland near me that's local authority owned but with no management plan, some of the pics are on here. Going to go back Saturday to get things like soil samples and the like Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeh the Wigan TO is going, not directly linked with us, but under the same umbrella. My manager is umming and ahhing about going and I think maybe one of the surveyors is going too. I would have loved to have gone but I needed the holidays for other stuff. It does help that I do know people who are going and later in the year when uni is nearly finished with my CPD will be the only thing (as well as climbing tall trees) I concentrate on. If my manager is feeling generous in the morning I might ask him again, he doesn't like short notice though:001_rolleyes: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks David/Acer, will have a look when I get in:thumbup: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Afraid I can't make it, not enough holidays left at work and it's too close to home to pull a sicky (one of the managers might be going) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I tried to read these (from when they where posted in the earlier thread and i was looking for a counter-argument:blush:) and to be honest, i got lost in all the information Its a big read and Uni work got in the way, will have to come back to it when i have more time:biggrin: It seemed worth a read though:thumbup:

tough little survivor!

Dinner time...! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Was posted on my face book so I pinched it:biggrin: Chemistry joke.. O + Mg = OMG = oh my god:001_tt2: Why, did you prefer the minion? Anyway, vans fixed, time to play! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What's the right to roam? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Aye, I'd say chilly more than cold:biggrin: Still waiting... So... Don't mine if I do:001_rolleyes: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So after finally making it... The van's got a flat! So we're keeping warm in the cabin whilst ATS come out (for some daft H&S reason we aren't allowed to do it ourselves) Me, Ritchie on the right, Bill on the left:biggrin: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Anyone else spend over an hour a day sat in traffic! Not exactly marvelous:001_rolleyes: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Looks like Fistulina hepatica but I may be wrong Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks:thumbup: Wasn't trying to be awkward, just interested:biggrin: I shall go read the link

isn't even laburnum wood poisonous? how would you get around that, apart from wearing a dust mask that is! would the finished product be poisonous too?

Non-replaceable as far as i'm aware

Its not something i normally do in my day-to-day work, measure risk in that instance (im just a climber at present). I hope, in the not too distant future to be able to have an "on-level" debate with like minded professional's where i can hold down my side of the "arguement" with pertinent data and experience from my own wealth of years. I do understand the points you are putting across, my learning pathway though tends to question anything i don't fully understand until i do fully understand it. I have been told that this is both a good and bad way to learn:biggrin: I fully appreciate the time and effort you are putting into the replies here and your explanations are clear enough to me and please don't take my argumentative questionings any other way than a desire and curiosity to learn:thumbup1: I'm sure QTRA has its place otherwise it wouldn't exist in the way that it does now, but until it is possibly part of my day to day work life there's just something that "doesn't fit" and i can't thoroughly explain why? I have been known to turn though:biggrin:

Throw me a frickin bone...
