Hi Paul , I have good upper body strength , just looking for that right set up , been tree climbing just over a year but many years of rock climbing , when I started tree climbing and done my CS 38 /39 I was showing the blakes and that was it , now looking for the next step , wood like to move a bit quicker up and moving out along branches , jumping from stem to branch , I feel the blakes holds me back.
Dose that sound right to you ?

It is one of those places you all ways wanted to see and so happy I did. Will return with my twins girls and wife one day and share the magic.

I will be out tomorrow (if not raining) and get back to you and I will take it LOW AND SLOW AND SAFE.
Thanks again.
Peter.

Move the greenhouse and cut away. lol
Covered them with plywood , and take small bits each time , I've used a sling to hold the bit I was cutting and lower it down.
The best are the plastic roof's with fish tanks under them , smoking area's with glass roof.
