    Lost? I was going to burgess hill a bit further down. Had to collect a cheque for the company my mum works for. A drink would have helped me too,a 4 and a half hour drive isn't something I'd do for fun! Maybe next time

    That's not dead, it's coming into leaf! Nothing to worry about IMO, sever the ivy to reduce some of the windsail on the stem. The hole at the base seems like it goes under the roots an is home to a critter of some sort, hard to tell much else from these pics.

    I agree with mark on the not cutting 5 days a week. I'm about to start my 3rd year and I think my own jobs I could do 2 or 3 days a week currently if work stays as it is. And that would be going good too. Maybe find someone else who can share the cost and you may have a better firm from the start.

    Tapatalk has some smilies built in but there are a few like : biggrin : that come out as text but in safari under normal browsing conditions they work. I also drove past you in your mog on the m25 this morning. Roughly 8.15!

    The SJ is just an example, but on my lanyard spliced by them the label is at the splice end and it leaves a clean end to go through my art Positioner.

    Honey bros put the marking at the splice end so the other end is free for you to put through a spider jack.

    Smilie List - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists should open a new window, all the codes are next to them

    theres 11 of us on the BSc course, however theres probably only 4 or 5 who would make become a climber afterwards, me and 2 others already are. add to that the college level courses, ND, NC, HND etc, with probably 20 on each all wanting to climb, but they all get tickets, whether they actually carry on with the work is a different story.

    Best way on tapatalk is to remember the code for them and type it in. That's what I do.

    I use a wolf garten one but have the saw on the end. Never been too keen on the string pole pruners. Can be too much stretch in them.

    Are you using safari or tapatalk to access Arbtalk?

    Close or not you'll still find they will be pyramidal in shape. If they were planted to be christmas trees then wait till winter, depending on species and size. Norway spruce from 25' up to 50' are popular for town centres.

    I remember that plane. Big tree. What's the height?
  14. RobRainford
    I'm getting faster , just under 3 hours for these two. No before pics but I took about 6-8ft off the top and matched the sides in. Drop zone was an old shed with a very sketchy roof and the tree on the left had 2 tin roof sheds either side aswell as the old shed. Everything left on site, happy days! Pleased with it

    You'll have an iPad next!

    All the ART gear is ace. Positioner is one thing you will love straight away. I'm tempted for an SJ now! Seem better in different ways compared to a LJ! Will we see a Tonyjackery HD?

    that still mobile version gibbon desktop version here:

    sweet! looks like everyones wanting to rec climb, i went out this afternoon with a lad from myerscough up some beeches nearby
  19. RobRainford
    21st is good for me! the one down the field here, theres nothing big, good enough to see how you feel at height but nothing tricky. Once you trust the gear the fear fades as you know you cant go anywhere. however im scouting the local area, a few farms nearby have some good open growing trees and also the odd woodland which would make for some taller climbs and a better day.
  20. RobRainford
    thought that may be the case, was a little uncertain myself. No problem

    Screw the uni of, I want one of those, with a super expandable arm so I can reach around houses. Would be handy for hedge trimming jobs!
  22. RobRainford
    Not sure, i would think this year, but I don't know any other info.
  23. RobRainford
    Yes, I have both the recent 3998 and the current bs5837 but it's under review so will be out of date soon. I'll dig out the PDFs for you. You can have a copy each and I'll get some printed off to post out.
  24. RobRainford
    Nice one I can help with the British standards if you want?
  25. RobRainford
    Must be! Just a little surprised! I thought you must have seen it before!
