Me and Rhys will be there! Scott (taffupatree) and a few other boys will be up for it I'm sure.

 

Martyn: I'll PM you now with a possibility of location and ideas.

all welcome mate..............western is up for it:thumbup:

just a thought,what does every think of a meet off junc 30 M4 (cardiff gate)

we can meet in the services for grub,it a easy location for all to get too,then we can go the other side of the M4,where my mate owns 12 acres of land.(rudry)

im up for it:thumbup:

lots of interest from the forest..

you and 2 others,perhaps you could arange travel...

I'm well up for a climb , let's get a date sorted and crack on !

lets try and set a date then..

where to go?

i think it must be central to all who want to go,to make a journey fair.

there must be a cafe in the area.

pref a dry weekend day.

any thoughts,i remember you tim were interested in the last one:thumbup:

Hi Martyn how are you, it's been a while since we have spoke.

 

About 10 weeks ago I injured my bicep distal tendon in my right arm, cutting and chucking. When the timber snapped off my arm was straight, it hyper extended my elbow joint and I heared a crunch. The doc said its probably a partial tear, I am waiting for an MRI scan and physio/ultra sound.

 

I will look forward to a day out with the lads climbing, if I can't climb I will come for breakfast and meet up with the lads.

 

Martyn

 

who is carlo:001_rolleyes:

cracking job some big old stems in there and with the road. but looks a nice job.

looks like there are some good cutters on this site i am still a novice so learning a lot still and its good to see the photo,s.

happy for anyone to pick the bones out of my hedges. the big old one was my first proper hedge i laid on my own. and was in at the deep end. wish i had some more expiarance before i tackled that job. what i know now would have done it different and made my job easy.

keep showing your hedges nice to see

we all have to start some where,when i was up brecon for 6 months,i had never done any hedge laying before,i was just clearing out at 1st for the boys to come behind to do the laying,after a few weeks watching and taking mental notes i was laying my own sections and did enjoy it:thumbup:

like i said in the thread previous,it was only basis work (for doormice)

Cheers Martyn,

 

Yeah I'm new to this site but there is loads of good info and helpful people on here.

 

My current background is Therapeutic horticulture - working with learning difficulties and mental health volunteers for a community project.

 

Prior to that I did 15 years in the fire & rescue service as a rope & technical rescue instructor, working in IRATA and specialist rope rescue tecniques.

 

Got a CS30 and spent 20 years or so using saws but have done a fair bit of domestic work over the last 2 or 3 years involving climbing and using silkys only. Have been hedgelaying for 12 years too but it's seasonal so me and my partner are thinking of starting up a more 'commercial' side with the trees as well.

 

Thinking that it would be very beneficial to see how arb work is done properly tho, there seems to be so many excellent techniques and climbing kit about as well as a lot of experienced people in the industry. Would like to go for the 38 and 39 eventually, the rec climb sounds like a good way to find out a bit more so I can make a decision about wether to take them or not.

Sorry, forgot to say I'm near Symonds Yat in the Forest of Dean just by Monmouth.

 

Thanks for the welcome,

 

All the best, Jamie

there you go jamie,theres a user above, teepeeta who interested perhaps you can travel together:thumbup:

symonds yat knows it well,pass it every day on the way to work (ross on wye)

should be a good day if we ever have a few dry days,needs to be a weekend

some very nice work on here guys....:thumbup::thumbup:

are amateurs with limited tree climbing experience welcome??

 

Terry

It's ok martyn Amos is a beginner lol

happy new year to you too:001_rolleyes:

i done a bit of basic hedge laying up brecon for a company a few years ago and i did enjoy it..

are amateurs with limited tree climbing experience welcome??

 

Terry

i would think your more than welcome. What a great way to find out a few tips and watch how others climb.

like the bear said your more than welcome:thumbup:

not too far from the forest,i work with a few chaps from the forest

I'll be up for that in some perhaps dry weather in the new year. I may have a chap who can help out with a small woodland near Cwmbrân if required.

sounds like a plan,worked for torfaen council tree gang over the last 2 yrs(when needed) theres a great cafe over there called owens

i was watching the carving at the apf and a lot of the carvers were using small rear handle echos (i have a 26cc top handle echo and they were using the rear handle version,good little saw)

Where you thinking of going?

i will go where the trees are calling:thumbup:

i think last time we were going down neath area,but i will go anywhere everyone can agree on!

i dont mind the travel,i drive an hour to work everyday

That sounds like a damn good idea Martyn, I for one would be very interested.

Will keep in touch about it, cheers,

 

Jamie

thats a start then jamie:thumbup:

i can see your a newish member with 25 posts

fill in a bit about yourself,where are you,what do you do,etc

martyn

if it ever stops raining we should have a little get together for a rec climb:thumbup1:

was talk a while back but dont think it came off,due to very bad wind

would be nice to put some names to faces,meet up for some breckie,have a bit of a climb,have a laugh and share some tips etc

worked with a few guys off here and made some good friends,western,matt place,beared munch etc

see you in 2013

ps,dont have to be welsh,anyone welcome

I was told November at the APF, then when I saw a husqy rep at the local dealer was told feb, and since then the dealer was told after feb, so I don't think husqvarna know, it's been pending since 2010 though really

i had a go with it and thought it was great,dont get me wrong i am husqvarna through,but this has become a farce and a bit of a joke,it must

embarrassing for such a large worldwide company:001_huh:
