  1. colleges are teaching to cut slightly inboard afaik at least we were.

    this one seals the deal i think (provided they have the same fuel, oil, chain etc) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHEiREC5Ja4&NR=1]YouTube - stihl ms260 - Husqvarna 346xp comparsion[/ame]
  4. my girlfriend and her old man have been working for the guy who made 'button moon' recently!
  5. various places do week long courses for the individual tickets. not sure if kingswood training do that - they are close to you.

    the husky 346xp is a great saw for small copice / woodland work. you can use it for 8 hours a day no problem!
  7. 'fraid not - its a nokia 3.2mp phone! i am impressed by the colour reproduction of it though. someone should go there with a dslr and report back
  8. you can buy the art and science of practical rigging from here great book Treesource Tree Care Practice
  9. quite the opposite lol not a cloud in the sky!
  10. yes i suppose i did play down the size of the old town. it was infact bigger than london at the time (probably about 1000 years ago)
  11. yeh, the suffolk coast has had pretty bad erosion. Dunwich (about 6 miles south of Covehithe) lost a whole village!
  12. A weird and wonderful place, inbetween Southwold and Lowestoft. Went there Saturday, which seems to have been the last nice day of the year. Apologies for crap phone camera shots. edit: pics are huge, just resizing them.....
  13. The boss is out of action for the next couple of weeks with a slipped disc, so i have no work. If anyone needs any help, please don't hesitate to contact me. All necessary climbing tickets + experience, driving licence, own transport, full climbing kit inc 200t, self employed so can invoice you for work done. Cheers
  14. good stuff again! i always enjoy a good rigging video /geek i did make a thread on the subject, but what helmet cam do you use reg? seems to get a good frame rate and the audio is good.
  15. you could say that £500 for the POV 1 did i mention my £50 budget?? yes, i did. edit: i might go up to £100 if needs be.....
  16. what helmet camera would you recommend? got to be less than £50 ish and a decent frame rate.
  17. they look like the first trees we butchered at college
  18. too many variables to give a real answer. part of the country, company etc if you are just starting out then you won't become a number 1 climber earning 150 a day. anything between 50 and 100 i'd say is accurate

    next show ?

    capel manor have one in march/april
  20. you aren't a member of the 'land rover appreciation society' then? we did the same size one next to it last week so its tried and tested. does sound a bit sketchy i must admit
