.... going to hard to prise the iphone out of my grip but this makes a lot of sense and hopefully will compel the big players to be more transparent with their sourcing and manufacturing , due a new phone so jumping ship Cheers http://www.fairphone.com/#phone Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks to all for comments on pole rescue i posted yesterday, passed my CS38 today and ended up doing a 3 man rescue from the pole where casualty is belayed separately and I spiked down after. looking forward to my cs39 next! cheers

Thanks James so if you spike up as rescuer on a pole ,you install a false anchor for the belay line and a climb system for rescuer? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks Dan , we were only taught to send them down by themselves but reading assessment schedule it refers to direct attachment to rescuers harness which infers you always go down with them? Maybe as you say commenting on different scenarios shows knowledge of different methods for different situations. Cheers Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Hi all,it's a while since we covered it at college and my cs38 is looming , just want to clarify when rescuing from a pole and installing false anchor for belay line from ground does rescuer descend with injured party by being clipped onto belay line and injured harness and both are lowered by ground crew? Cheers david

Hi ladies and gents Well finally taken the leap and signed up at Capel manor to do the Diploma in Arboriculture in September. Am very excited by the new career change at the tender age of 44 and to be working with trees. Part of the course requires work experience so I'm looking for anything related to Arboriculture. So if you need a willing pair of hands i'm available and not shy of hard work , have own transport and ppe and have used chainsaws for firewood over the years, also able to drive up to 7.5t. Any offers greatly received, I'm based west London but willing to travel Cheers David

Just caught the end of this tonight and worth watching on the iplayer I reckon lots of tree biology explained and stunning ending of climbing giant Sequoia Redwoods

hi Matt I'd be interested in the non-leather boots too, keep me in the loop cheers
