  9. Hi guys, Would any of you recommend the Husqvarna 334T Chainsaw as an ideal first top handle to get started with to save a bit of cash to save for a more advanced model in due course? any info or experience much appreciated.
  10. ive only just been into climbing and ive got the stihl hiflex, find them fine, mate who i work with has stretch air which he swears by, so il probably invest in them if i ever bought my own ppe to be honest. ive been on a couple of climbing courses not so long back, two different instructors, both also had stretch airs....

  12. firstly point 1: the topiary guy is amazing, worked with him in the past, done many shows at Chelsea, Kew gardens etc, many awards is work is well worth a look, Point 2: the chipper doc, for those of you who live near to Bury St Edmunds, he is a top guy and the service you get is first class. BOTH HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
  13. funny enough thats just what happened with the 200t today with us on a job.... but yeah simple enough to fix though.
  14. ALL HEDGE BETS ARE OFF AS FIR STARTER TARGETS THE SUBURBS’ SCOURGE Story Image A torched tree in Sowerby Bridge Sunday June 5,2011 By David Paul LEYLANDII trees, dubbed the scourge of suburbia, are being *targeted by an arsonist who has struck 10 times in the past month in the same market town. In some incidents, fires have been started twice in the same day. So far no one has been injured in the blazes which have been put out quickly by firefighters. However, Karina Gonzalez, of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, warned: “If these fires continue it will only be a matter of time before someone gets hurt.” The arson attacks have been made in the Beechwood and *Triangle areas of Sowerby Bridge, near *Halifax, West Yorkshire. West Yorkshire Police are working with investigators from the fire service’s arson task force to track down the culprit and have asked residents to be on the lookout for anyone acting suspiciously. Inspector Dave Browning said: “Officers are carrying out high visibility patrols in the area and speaking to people to see if they have seen anything that might help us to bring the person or persons responsible to justice. A series of fires such as these are very rare, *especially in a small *community such as this.” Leylandiis are loved and loathed in equal measure for their ability to grow up to four feet a year, *providing privacy for some while blocking out sunlight for others. One of the fire-raiser’s victims was Barbara Smith, 71, who woke to find what she thought was white powder all over her garden. At first she thought it was something that must have been washed down by an overnight rainstorm but it was the ash from a burning Leylandii. “The garden was totally white, I just didn’t know what it was,” said Mrs Smith. “It’s quite worrying because these trees are very close to people’s homes. Setting them on fire is such a stupid thing to do.” Leylandii, which can reach a height of 75ft, have caused controversy since being introduced to the UK from North America in 1888. SEARCH UK NEWS for: It is estimated that at any one time around 17,000 people in Britain are at loggerheads with their neighbours over hedge disputes. Six years ago a new section was introduced into the Antisocial Behaviour Act. The “Leylandii Law” gave people the right to challenge the height of a neighbour’s hedge but councils charge up to £500 to begin any investigation. Nancy Webster, of campaign group Hedgeline, which helps in disputes over hedges, said: “Leylandii are a scourge and they blight people’s lives but we wouldn’t advocate setting fire to ones owned by other people. “We always advise people to be polite when trying to get their neighbour to cut down a *Leylandii.” Read more: Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: All hedge bets are off as fir starter targets the suburbs’ scourge

Did my cs38 one week, passed, but did my cs39 following week, didnt pass, like you say, confidence & practice, then using a saw up a tree and getting in that correct safe position... now gotta save for the retake but everyone is different, if you go for it good luck.
