hama the beaten track is there for a good cause, its a good job where not in Tennessee the patriot state of shooting stuff, shooting a trespasser out there is like sport to them, my excuse is getting the map out turning it upside down on its side and saying are you sure this is not the footpath? love it mate..... some corkers there david still need to get my lime tree pollard pictures been meaning to call in for ages now but she is a beaut, approx 450-600 y/o no body knows for sure as the core is completely hollow about 16ft diameter sod it i'll go round tomorrow.....

we've all got to start with something i guess, i remember after leaving my first firm who had supplied my kit, going to the new firm with nothing but a new 45m rope, hitch and pulley, harness, strop with accessories,helmet, and a pair of spikes, i did not even have a pruning saw, but after a couple of years it turned from fitting in a rucksack to having 2 ropes 2 kit bags, and other little bags of treasure, now i need my truck to carry everything? it all takes time...... as for the cambium saver/rope guide/friction saver just buy one mate, even if the stupid cs38 does not require one......you won't regret it and its about time they changed the legislations on the training if you ask me, a lot of stuff needs to be addressed when it comes to people getting trained or assessed ....(little moan over....)

repollarding a willow in a conservation area
Adam Bourne replied to likeitorlumpit's topic in General chat
repollard or not mate i'm pretty sure you still need to put in a conservation works notification, maybe as it has only been done 3 years ago and given the species of tree they might turn a blind eye but i very much doubt it..... -
