Has any seen the European tree pruning guide. There appears no link on the EAC site and the AA site search produces nothing. Lots of references to it on the web but no actual document. Know anything about or got a copy I could copy. All help appreciated.

Does anyone know what HMS stands for - as in HMS Carabiners (not HMS Ark Royal)? Regards

Anyone out there had much dealings with these new style stein/kash mountain bike based helmets? I thought it was a good idea to move to this type of helmet because of the salesmans talk of better protection for side impact blows. Since all our chaps are climbers of some varying ability this seemed to me to be the more likely head impact that they might face rather than for instance, a log dropping from above. They are also much more comfortable and stable on the head than the petzel we currently use. However whilst on the ground one of the lads has had, albeit a small noggin, drop directly from above onto his helmeted head and squealed like a pig- I think it probably hurt. As these style helmets don't have a suspended cradle as such as is found on the petzel I can understand his tears. In the stein/kash helmets there is a mountain bike style polystyrene innner frame but which sits directly on the outer shell on the top of the helmet. Has anyone more experience of these helmets that they would like to share to help me kit out the lads as best as possible. As a side note from an employers point of view the petzel has a much greater service life than other helmets.
