  1. If you are using saws, strimmers, brushcutters on your own land no training is required, As soon as you operate any machinery on some one else's land whether it's as a favour or getting paid you do need proof of adequate training and certification.
  2. There is a timber yard between the entrance to Longleat Safari Park and Center Parcs
  3. yes it does. only up to 8 inch tree diameter.
  4. NO house sparrow oh there is a grey wagtail in the background (Motacilla cinerea)
  5. This little one has been visiting our garden lately
  6. I belive it has to be broken down. For example Agriculture covers arable/ live stock and then fruit, then some mite say that fruit comes under Horticulture, So Horticulture covers soft landscaping and nursery production is there more. Arboriculture is the management and cultivation of amenity trees, covers production of young trees, or is this still Horticulture, Silver culture is for forestry. When we speak of arboriculture most people look for the climbing kit, it starts long before then. What a can of worm's.
  7. we're at Ryarsh nr West Malling. pm Me your details and we can help.
  8. Try looking at Direct.gov
  9. Fruit tree pruning let me see. Questions for you to find the answer. Heavy pruning dose this produce fruit bud or strong re growth and wood bud. which of these produces more fruit bud tying down branches to 1/ 45 degrees. 2/ 30 degrees 3/ 15 degrees 4/ below the horizontal
  10. Sorry about the quality you will have to enlarge this pic
  11. Totally agree, everybody likes different length prussik loops, just remember the double fishermans knot uses 500mm of cord. This is the Basic list we send out Climbing Equipment Requirements for CS38 Work position harness. Minimum 12mm diameter climbing line 35m long. 3 Prussik loops or whip tails. 5 x 3 stage karabiners. Work position strop. Safety hat with chinstrap with 4 point attachment, ear defenders and eye protection. Suitable boots for climbing. Personal first aid kit & knife with retractable blade.

    I have a set up, that can show peak load/ force if you want to travel to Kent
  14. Yes I agree with the long boring road, It's a shame someone asks a simple question about training and it gets de-railed, Then ends up as a big argument.
  15. Yes that,s correct. you should inspect your own kit before and after use and once a week recorded. and six monthly independent inspection, for items subject to high levels of wear.
  16. If you look on the Lantra web site they will help you find a course near you, Lantra | CourseFinder | course listings | course providers | forum | training | qualifications
  17. Only just, pipe in one hand fag in the other,
  18. Better than scratching your b******s in front of the customer
  19. Just timed myself rolling a fag, 20 seconds, Whats the problem. that,s a fraction of the time it took to write this.
  20. Yes you can use 2 karabiners back to back on your assessment. When contracting I always have small fixed cheek pulley with me. In a real life rescue you use whatever you've got. You probably wouldn't even mess about with karabiners back to back and only use 1. Hope this helps.
  21. Minimum for training would be a Small Fixed Cheek Pulley, 22kn
