  1. .did post these on another thread a while back , this is the base of the pop at.colville square, I pollarded this tree many years ago, I no longer work for the company but I no the climber who last done it, he's a young lad who would have got up there smashed it out and not looked or paid any attention to the health of the tree.
  2. Working just around the corner from this today. I repollarded it a few years back and my mate done it early this year. Lucky it fell at the angle it did.
  3. Thanks I did also work out the obvious today throw line in rope up running bowline. Up to that. Undo. Throw to desired anchor point running bowline sorted. I was thinking about base anchors to much. But really enjoying climbing on the wrench no friction the movement It's great.
  4. Sorry I don't know anyone else climbing srt so Im learning everything from here.
  5. Throw a night of rope over...... Sorry cant think or picture what you mean and how it works
  6. but getting your throwline to your top anchor point is not always possible,small garden,dense tree as was today,and psp...
  7. right bought my wrench on friday had a play over the weekend .first decent tree today large beech thin ,got on really well,only thing i cant get my head round is .i put the throw line in ,then base tie, the problem i then had was i wanted to go higher but that meant pulling all the rope up and passing over a higher point.but what if ineed to throw it do i take everything of throw then reattach.or am i missing a trick
  8. Ok it doesn't say granny but still ......
  9. 500 for 3hrs work sounds like you told you mate what the other chap quoted and he thought he'd pull a fast one as well. 500 for 3 hrs of a old granny ??
  10. Before I had the option of start a new thread now I see nothing that allows me to do this only post replys.
  11. Could this then lead to the whole tree shutting down ?
  12. David...once the tree has dropped said limb or it has been removed what then are the implications, will the massaria carry on to the parent limb or is the tree now free of it ?
  13. Stretch air gladiators are made of an excellent durable material which won't snag or pull had a pair for years, zips have gone but over all they're in good nick. Also got some sip progress which I love , we'll fitted comfy and I'll be getting another pair soon.
  14. Ive a mate who does a bit for westminster and they're starting to do Aerial inspection of their planes, theyve found plenty, theres talk of 3-6 month aerial inspections,
  15. Does anyone get a good response from adwords ?
  16. Totally agree a waste of money, my contracts up after a year with not one call, I won't be renewing.much better ways of advertising for £80 a month.

  18. Cheers, I, m in surrey and yes I read silky's thread, and spent a whole rainy weekend doing it !!
  19. I know its bad timing to start up , but been in the industry nearly 20 years always employed, so I thought if I don't do it now i never will.and i cant climb forever.
  20. Hi all, Been reading this site and all the threads for months now , so thought it was time I registered . Any way , I started on my own this time last year.saved hard and bought truck and chipper so no debts thankfully.I knew getting work was going to be hard,at first not to bad, few days for myself the rest subing.but work just hasn't picked up since then, tried everything I can think of. ( local ads, website, adwords, checkatrade, leaflets) I know it takes time and word of mouth is everything, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that might help. Cheers all.
