    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.

    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!

    Not sure, i would think this year, but I don't know any other info.

    Yes, I have both the recent 3998 and the current bs5837 but it's under review so will be out of date soon.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.

    Ganoderma can occur at height. Highest I saw it was about 10ft stuck on the side of a union with a few other fruiting bodies accompanying it. Ganoderma doesn't look like much else, pics would be ace!

    Kretz seems to be pretty aggressive on ash then? It is aggressive anyway it seems but I've seen an ash completely goosed by it. And I can't believe I've seen it on ash before you tony .

    I completely agree with you Andy. Was in the local tesco last night at 10pm. Forecourt was a frenzy. I really cannot understand why people are panic buying over a silly statement by a prat of a minister. Was half tempted to shout what a bunch of idiots. If people actually thought about what they were doing then it would have been empty. My car has just less than a full tank, it probably won't see me till the end of the week. But I'll just find a station an full up as normal. Not in a panic, not with 10 jerry cans, just fill as normal and hope the fools in a panic haven't bought it all.

    Do a blakes hitch instead, much easier IMO.

    confirm covers a wide range of areas and is favoured by councils because it encompasses highways and other areas managed by councils and can allow easy management between departments Products: Trees | Pitney Bowes Software

    What you really mean is: That's no use, buy a greenmech instead!

    If you can do the travel cost then you could take as much of my pile as you want for free.

    Brown oak is caused by Fistulina hepatica, it's early stages of brown rot. A long time ago trees were inoculated purely to produce brown oak. Wouldn't mind a table, or a pen, made out of it! Bog oak is more expensive again though!

    ihave a CS100 and it stands up very well for its size, if you feed it and treat it according to its size and not like a 12" beast then it will respond and work very well.

    To echo the article authors comments, i really hope that FERA do get adequate resources for this disease, god forbid it hits croft castle! why do we need to import NATIVE species?

    There's loads of trees here so plenty room! The lar page in the general tree pics thread has a picture of some ofthe woods we will use. Just as a taster

    woodpecker is more of a possibility, we have bats in the farm buildings, but rarely seen anything to indicate them around the woodland here. Simple enough answer cheers
  23. RobRainford
    Noticed this hole in an alder today, dont know whether its bats or not?

    couple of trees from round the farm, nothing all that special!

    I will have a look on science direct for any articles. Might pull something up.
