Well done Coletti, no doubt we will hear great things in the future Dave:thumbup:

Thanks stump grinder, as I don't work outside education I can only use my own judgement so i was interested in everyone's take on the post

[quote=twistedhicap;775421 And knowing from experiences and having been involved with Incidents and accidents (not do do with my work but as a member of the department team) there is always someone looking to blame someone and parents and significant others will and do look to seek answers and compensation and this all leads back to someone ! ITs a night mare ! David It's a sad fact of the industry that you always have to cover your bottom, thankfully never been in a situation where I've had to explain my actions to management or especially parents because of an accident . Learners who know me will know that I was threatened with solicitor action once for securing a learner in a tree against his wishes. that wasn't nice:confused1:

my question relates to restricting anybody from climbing a tree in this condition. it's just as an instructor my main concern is towards the safety of my learners:thumbup:

I think it's time we planted the next generation ? as for the ash thought we might set fire to the base and hope for the best,lol:lol:

What would the bats have to live in then Martyn:sneaky2: did you see the hanger across the field from where you boys were climbing Sunday ? The ash next to the assessment oaks? Dave

:thumbup:thanks for that WorcsWuss, my feelings exactly,unfortunately not every one who I work with agrees :confused1:as I don't work in the commercial world I just wanted to check out on the holistic veiw:thumbup: Thanks again Dave

Ok may be a silly question but we have a very large beech on site which the local TO stated he would put a 7 day felling notice on if it was near vulnerable targets.The tree has extensive decay caused by Kretz,a resistograph identified less than 1/3 diameter of sound wood at several locations around the trunk where decay is evident. As I am not a TO and have limited risk assessment of tree failure probability, I am interested to know how many of you would deem it safe to climb such a tree.As I am responsible for the safety of my learners I have put the said tree out of bounds as far as climbing is concerned,is this being a little to cautious or sensible given the fact I work for a educational establishment? P.s the tree is approximately 30meters Regards Dave

Brilliant David, I often tell learners about that program but couldn't remember what it was called:thumbup: betting you're a Douglas Adams fan too? Regards Dave

Any ideas on this Tree Species please?
elicokiz replied to armybloke's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Really?? that is a huge leaf...Rubus is usually a rambling shrub, not a species which would usually form a stump?? -
Weve got some excellent climbers this year, returners trying to show they are better?...you know what its like. Your avatar is a bit tasty where did you meet her?? Dave

Hi folks just intrested to know if there is anyone from b&b trees on this forum...just being nosey as i noticed that a row of horse chestnuts in Branston (nr lincoln)are being felled, im assuming because of safety issues and proximity to the road??Will i ever experience the ping of conkers bouncing off my bonnet again whilst i wait for the lights to change regards Dave
-
Cheers fella, it's pole rescue tomorrow isn't it, that's always a great laugh, Enjoy Dave

You could be right or it could be a deconstructed desert from master chef:lol:

That's nothing? I was pretending to be a bat in front of 20 learners the other week.....glad I wasn't getting observed by ofsted lol:lol:

Just three random pictures on my pc

Sounds intresting, didnt realise you could get data as precise as that. Being totally niave is it something that a ford dealer would have to do ? ive read many horror stories of turbos and erg valves being incorrectly diagnosed as the primary cause of smoking and then being ripped out by cold blooded ford engineers p.s hope youre not one regards Dave
