    Everyone solo climbs Key is not going out your comfort zone ALWAYS .

    Two of you fold it over with a scaffold pole , then spray , half an hour tops you would get in a utilities company for that . Maximum volume per hectare printed on all chemical product labels , it is a poison after all !

    I've been playing about with the RADS system lately . Very simple to install , quick and easy to ascend , great fun descending on the gri gri . Can use the gri gri from the ground for aerial rescue also . As HA says there is a bit of flamphing around involved though .

    Removing a 70ft tree from a garden is inherently dangerous With or WITHOUT a mewp . You will definetely need professional assistance for this removal , please listen to the members advice . I dont doubt for a minute your professionalism / skill btw ,

    I'd be looking at if they have been done before and your just doing the regrowth which would be critical for tie in point imo . Could put kerf cuts in and cut small if in any doubt . More experienced personnel on here than me though .

    Round 2 .... Decided to do a proper test up a cherry today with a main anchor line installed and there is no question this is a major step forward in work positioning for me . If it is directly above your head , as a poster said a quick jerk and it binds instantly . The future looks good . Ah well i got bit of egg on my face .... well a whole omelette i suppose !

    Get the local kids and schools involved , convince them they would be missing an important part of their education if this goes . I had a walk round a wood in Huntly lately and there was loads of kids there with their teachers , it was PART of their curricullum .

    If you put a figure 8 on a figure 8 , would that technically be a figure 16 ??

    Just had a look at the map there and that is simply scandalous if that gets developed on . The locals arent even getting a NO DEVELOPMENT option which is completely undemocratic and corporate bullying . Hope for the right outcome here .

    There are classes run at Insch , Huntly and Pitmedden . Full use of equipment and training available . I picked up their leaflet at this years BA stores vintage fair . The bowls they made were simply stunning , the best i've seen . i purchased some mushrooms they did . I have phone numbers i can give you if you want

    I watched it ( purely for research purposes only i may add )

    Well theres really not much more to be said

    Ah well what a big disappointment Had time to reflect and I'm thinking team GB tactically got it wrong today . They flung all their eggs into one basket and it backfired dramatically . Why did they not cover the breakaway ( it was no ordinary breakaway with top class cyclists in there ) by sticking someone like David Millar or Froome with them just in case ? Stannard i agree was heroic , teeth gritted pounding away , but it was in reality a very worrying sign , especially when Wiggins took over driving the front with well over 20kms still to go ... Cav must have known at that point it was all over . But with every dark cloud theres a silver lining , that is Vinikourov who is probably the toughest man in the world ( apart from skyhucks dad ) I just love the guy and love Kazakhstans team Estana ( at least Pedros happy )

    Yes Tom i've been using the wire core for work positioning as you say but looking for an improvement now that i'm tackling larger stuff . Making up my own climbing kit is a bit alien to me but i will definetely take your advice and have a go . Thanks for the positive and polite reply

    In response to the last couple of posts ... The lanyard was not intended as a replacement for my steel core flipline PER SE.. But in certain circumstances ie. larger , wider crowns like what i had to do last week YES i would expect the lanyard to outperform a steel flipline ?? TBF i tested the said item on the ground first... LIKE THE GUY IN THE VIDEO Difference being i am 60ft up .. In saying this i understand and appreciate a much more realistic and thorough usage was in order before posting comments . Hama , why would you want to take a £130 ' rich mans toy ' up a tree when Tom10 can make you one for £30 ??

    Think this is what's annoying me the most , i cant understand why i bought it . It looked good as MB rightly says but its not going to replace my wire core flip line and rope grab which bites instantly and is easily used one handed . At 7.5 metres, i thought any longer than this why just not get a second climbing system ?? Will persevere for just now and try and incorporate it somewhere , tweak it here or there and see what happens . Thanks chaps ..
