Nextbase 412GW are very good. not cheap but good quality and well worth the money for peace of mind. got one fitted in my Polo running 24 hours by hard wiring into car with fuse box adapter kit. 

Hey guys just looking for some guidance here really.

What are the legal requirements (if any)for working on trees over water?

The company I currently work for have begun quoting for lots of trees on riverbanks and tasked me with finding the ins and outs(well the ups and downs really).

Thanks in advance

Apart from auto life jackets and safety throwing lines think about bio hazards like leptospirosis, very unlikely but possible when dragging wood out of the water or working on muddy canal/river banks. CRT/EA have quite thorough method statements and risk assessments. In some cases a safety boat has had to be on site as well.

Nice, i go in a car on the motorway which is crap!! In a former life my journey to work was a 3 mile walk along a most beautiful stretch of the worcester canal.

Mostly motorway but I work on the canal you used to walk on. You are right the Worcester is a beautiful canal. So the journey is worth it.

We currently spray or stem inject with roundup 480 on water side knotweed.

Yes you can, did my PA6AW recently and was allowed to use book for reference during the assessment.

I have a vertex best and the husqvarna fit absolutely fine. They were quite a tight fit into the helmet slots though.

Recently did my PA6AW it looks a lot worse than it is on the day, the assessor was excellent. The course it self was well laid out not to taxing and the course notes were not to confusing. The maths was the only bit that made me think a bit.

Crane barge named Gloucester is based on the Gloucester to Sharpness canal and River Severn it is operated by the Canal River Trust

What about one from here, I am told they are good

If floating crane or craft unavailable the only real option is winch across the canal in small manageable sections. The under water bits are a nightmare to deal with. Small boat is a must just to access the bits under the surface. Don't cut at the bank until the end of the job.

Good luck.

We use a Kubota F3680 at work, very reliable and hard as nails can snap drive shafts if not greased on a regular basis though.

The view from the yard last month, not much better at the moment. Thinking of all the unfortunate people suffering in the floods.

Home made gabion baskets might work this i what i used when working for British Waterways.

Royal Marines Museum at Eastney has a lot of information about Royal Marines that have been awarded the VC. Been a while since I visited it though so may have changed.

Last year i did some work for British Waterways on a bank with a set in it. I needed written permission from natural England prior the work starting. Also had a visit to check i was working as agreed.
