  1. I wouldnt climb it I'd send the groundy up and tell him it was a good tree for him to practice on On a serious note the tree could be done safely by an experienced climber or end in tears for someone with little or no experience. Its your call ,your the one thats going to climb it so think hard, if you walk away from the job then I would'nt see it as defeat only a measure of the respect that you,ve got for the difficulties tree's can present. Stay safe and good luck

  6. Cheers Justin . I know the £20 isnt going to do much on its own , but if even a small percentage of the members on here can find a few spare quid then if nothing else we might atleast be able to justify putting you through the trouble of taking the phone calls, answering the emails, proccesing the payments and sending out receipts. For you to take time to do all of these things in the current economic climate is very commendable. Your an asset to the trade
