Hello all, I'm looking to upgrade my micro pulley to either a hitchclimber or skywalker. What have people found are pros/cons of each? Excluding the hc rapide, which I don't see has any advantage if its only going to be used for slack tending, the price is the same. Is the extra hole on the hc really that useful? The sw looks like the holes are bigger, is that good or bad? Any comments welcome

Just to nitpick and be fussy bugger I'm reading Colin Judge how trees live and why they matter at the moment, and he states its not how many hours of daylight that count, its how few hours of night. eg (I may be remembering this wrong) when under controlled conditions strawberry plants will set flowers with just a few hours of darkness, regardless of daylight length. I can't quite remember the ins and outs of it, it involved hormones. I may have to roll back a chapter or two and re-read!

That looks very good, much better than my 'quick shove it in the oven I'm starved' pizza! Was brief but good to put a face to a name earlier, hope you both had a good night. Maybe see you at the next rec climb in this corner of the country

At Kew Gardens today I noticed this on several tree species. Often of the same age and side by side or in a group. I noticed it on oak in the conservation area, several species of birch, a group of wollemia (clones I think) and some exotic species I have forgotten! My thoughts at the time where it could be micro climate (it seemed trees, or even branches on the same tree, in the shade where lagging slightly) or stress related (trees nearer heavily used paths or with large branches previously removed where behind). None where as dramatic as your two beech though, good spot

50 hrs would add up, very quickly!

Can anybody explain this please?! How do you know what counts as points towards it, and how many? What about keeping a record, proof of attendance to events, a note of time spent reading what? Perhaps I'm being dense but I can't seem to find out myself. Cheers all....

Interesting, thank you.

Anybody here a member? If so is it worth it, has it brought more work? How about the different recognized specialisms - how did you find the assessments, or have you had to go on a raft of extra courses?! Any comments welcome. Thank you...

The knots app is turning out to be quite handy even though I don't often use it, its nice to mess about with rope! One small thing: when updating it would be nice to know which knots are new. I look through but can't tell what's been added. Not a big deal, just a thought...

Not a funny quote, but when your two year can't sleep and it's 2am and you begin to get rather stressed, having her hug you and say 'you're my best friend ever Dad' just melts the heart!

Looks good This has developed into a top thread

Looks like the exhibition is on till 5 June in London, might be worth a visit if local...

Hadn't really thought about how it is done. Could well be acid, or an enzyme which breaks down lignin, if such a thing exists in a readily available form?

Why wait?

Hi all, a little advice please: two years ago I planted a tiny little honeysuckle and it now has about ten feet of growth on it. It has just opened up its buds last week, and now I want to move it! Do you reckon it could survive uprooting and moving now, or is it too late? I have room to chase and dig up probably most of its root system if that helps. I'd rather it didn't die. Thoughts please...

aha, makes more sense. Looks like something I'd have doodled in school! What are its origins?
