Same thing can be said for driving etc... They teach you enough to pass the course its only through regular climbing that you gain in confidence.

You been dropping trees along the road by the golf links in bryn as well? I wondered why the trees were being felled then left. Looks like you have been busy.

I switched to mac at christmas time after using windows since windows 3.1 I cant remember the last time i used my windows machine. Mac is just so much smoother running and easier to actually use. I went for the new 13" macbook air after seeing it in the shop lol.

You can do whats necessary to get you to where the examiner wants you to go as long as you always have one point of tie in.

I have seen knotweed grow through concrete, it is severely damaging and will grow through almost anything.

The instructors are there to help they dont want you to fail. Just take your time and think about what you needto do before getting into the tree. If there is someone doing it before you watch what they do and where they go to see how they do it and if you could do anything to do it better. Make sure you dont drop down anywhere where you can get your ropes stuck.

I hope they get through doors a bit quicker

If someone was to use your gear which can happen if you have 2 climbing the same tree, if they had an accident while on your rope the HSE would want to see that you had taken all safety precautions. Everything these days seems to need a paperwork trail. I may be wrong on this so please correct me if I am.

I use a few turns of yellow insulation tape on my rope then write on it with a black marker then put some heat shrink on it. For things like webbing I still use the yellow tape then just cover with sellotape, it does wear a bit but it dont cost much. I use a dremmel to mark all my biners and pulleys. I mark my biners on the bit that you turn( dont know the name for it) pulleys I mark on the side plates.

I marked my individual pieces of kit with my initials then a number i.e CB01, CB02 you get the idea. You will also need to have weekly check lists that are dated.

I got the macbook air 13" had windows pc's for years and wish I had changed years ago. Soo much quicker and no crashes. Macs dont run .exe files like windows so very very rare to get any sort of virus.

suffered with it for years after working in a wood mill when younger. Sometimes it goes other times it sounds like feedback from a speaker. It sounds almost deafening at times although the sufferer is the only one to hear it.
