Hey guys, this might sound a bit stupid but what sizes does each category represent? I mean when your on site, you look at a tree and say I reckon thats a cat 1, 2 or 3 and so forth and I have an idea of each category in my head but is there any literature anywhere that states exactly what size/diameter each category is? Have looked at BS3998 and on other sources but can't seem to fin anything Please help! Thanks, Scifon Arborist/Rope Access Technician

Hi Colin, yes I have met him. He came to our yard at least anyway, before an hse inspection I believe. I took a look on his website but does he provide rolo? Many thanks Alex Mitchell Utility Arborist

Is there anyone or does anyone know of anyone running one of these courses in the south west? South Devon if possible. Have seen quite a few up country ranging from £80-£150. Need to do it as a perquisite for CSCS/LISS Card. Thanks Alex Mitchell Utility Arborist

Thanks for all the replies guys, however I am actually twenty three and expect many years ahead. I created this post as I injured my knee and haven't been able to work, not even as a chipper bitch! But good to know for the future, cheers again Alex Mitchell Utility Arborist

A message probably for you older guys and girls but what have people gone on to do after tree work? When your body is holding you back and you can't climb quite as fast as you once did. I'm not talking management or yard duties, more work in the field where you need your brains not brawn. Any suggestions? Alex Mitchell Utility Arborist

Hey guys, first post and im sure not the last. Ive spent the past 3 or so years doing tree work in the south west, including waterways, highways and utilities work but find myself more often out of a harness than in one. I joined this game to climb, so I have begun to look into rope access and getting my level one IRATA qualification. With a hope to perhaps go into NDT, surveying or perhaps geo as I hear there's still some tree work involved. Has anyone made this move from arb to access that might have some incite or words of wisdom. Hope to hear from you guys, cheers
