  1. Honestly, the hard part was growing it! Kind of looking forward to it going to its new owner really...
  2. madness... spiderman pushups at 4.15 look crazy!
  3. congratulations! Now you have the 'fun' of wedding planning...
  4. So you're the lucky bidder. What did it go for? Any good tid bits of info?
  5. Muchos gracias David, that takes the online total over £100, cash donations still to be added I thought uktc'ers were all well kept professionals! It's about time I signed up, this seems like a good excuse...
  6. Fantasic! Thank you Mr Logchopper
  7. I always assumed it was down to the local bird population. As I understand it, certain birds wipe the sticky seeds off their beaks onto branches. Therefore wrong birds = no new mistletoe. I may be way off the mark though!
  8. bump the scissors are doing their thing a week today (30 March) then you might see my ugly mug :eek: Come on people, its a lot of hair for a good cause!
  9. ok no worries. Good luck
  10. Does anyone have experience of returning to climbing after long breaks? How did you find it? Did you miss it? I stopped climbing around 2 and a half years ago when my wife became unwell and long days became unworkable. I missed being in the trees, a lot! In that time I have only pruned a couple of little apples for a friend (free climbed) and one arial inspection. Yesterday I pulled the harness back on and wielded a 200t once again to help out a mate. Nothing major, just a willow repollard and a lime. I was a little nervous to be honest, but once gear was on I was on my way into the canopy I felt free! Just a simple climb felt exhilarating, not from adrenaline but from relief. It seems climbing is like riding a bike, or meeting an old friend. So, anyone else?
  11. any luck solving this one yet? I think its just pics in the members only thread

  13. cant say about husky, but stihl 260/261 is light enough to be comfy all day, light felling etc or non stop logging rings...
  14. yep that worked a treat thanks. I think I lost my data signal during the first load
  15. Just downloaded the knots app and it seems some images are missing. Most often the last in the series for a given knot/hitch. Any suggestions?
  16. pics please...
  17. Quite spectacular, how long ago was the left side undercut?
  18. Quite spectacular. I wonder if the scaffolding will remain in place, and how the tree is 'rooted' for support?
