Hi everyone, I have just moved to Lancashire and am looking for groundsman work in the area. I have been working in the industry for about 3 years and am experienced in all aspects of ground work both in a private and commercial setting, I have experience with stump grinders, brush cutting, hedge cutting, felling and processing. I have also supported a number of climbers in rigging and lowering both difficult and dangerous trees. I am very hard working and love to see a site finished off to the highest standards. I have my cs38/39 but am inexperienced as a climber but would love the opportunity to improve my skills. I also have my cscs and rollo h and s. If anyone has any tree related jobs and needs a hand give me a ring. Thanks for reading Ben 07949006464

Hi everyone, we are working around Caerphilly on wed, which isn't in our usual area, does anyone have/know of a chip tip site in the area? Willing to pay. If anyone is able to help out it would be really appreciated. Please contact me on here or on 07949006464. Many thanks Ben

Cheers for all the advise guys :-)

Ah im with ya! Cheers, yep I know a few climbers who have a rope just for conies, makes sense not to ruin a new rope. Thanks
-
Thanks for the input shires...what do you mean by conies? Forgive me if thats a stupid question :-P
-
I have tried my bosses 11mm rope and im not keen. I have really big hands and cant grip it as well as 13mm...I think a bit of experimenting is called for, still getting used to hc after using a prussik since starting climbing
-
Sorry I ment jay...
-
Thanks for the input guys. Dan I have just moved onto hitch climber with 10mm cord...thanks joe your not the first to say yale xtc so might take a look into that...

Hi all, would like to pick the brains of you all. I am a relatively new climber and have been climbing on a 12.5mm new england rope, the honeybros red, white and blue type (sorry cant remember the exact type) it has served me well to start with but has a very tough form which isnt brill with knots and has a tendency to coil. What is the general opinion on the best ropes? So many out there and they all claim to be the best in the business!?? Any advice and opinions would be really appreciated :-) cheers
-
Ok good to know skyhuck, will try my best to find them before i stick the gob in :-)
-
Its a tough 1, i never intentionaly drop a tree if i know a nest is in it but u cant be held as deliberatly harming a bird if u have no idea its there surely! Will have to check the legislation but im not dragging my ass through every leylandi to check!
-
I need a bit of advice. How does the law stand on dropping a tree and then discovering a pigeon nest with chicks? Obviously it isnt practical to climb and check every evergreen hedge, cedar and hawthorn we fell but dont want to end up on the wrong end of a hefty fine!
-
Hmmm i think i will have to try 8 & 10 mm and see which works for me, thanks for the advice
-
Thats ace! The new generation of arbs in training allready :-) think i will try the 10mm and see how i get on
-
Thanks for the advise guys, will get shopping and try it out!

Hey everyone, i am a new climber and am wanting to move to a hitch climber system rather than the traditional prussik system. I am wanting to know what mm cord would be best to use? I climb on a 12.5 new england line and am planning to start with a distel knot as i have been told that it easyer to manage than a vt for beginers to the hc system...any advice on the system setup would be really helpful. Thanks

Hi everyone! I have just moved to wiltshire and am looking for work. I have a lot of experience working as a groundsman and have worked on a number of private and large contracts. I am a good team worker with a very high standard work ethic, i love to see a job done well. Am used to working with saws, brushcutters, chippers, stumpgrinders etc and have a lot of experience supporting climbers, lowering equipment and general shifting timber! I have also just passed my cs38/39 and would love the chance to climb and build my skills. If anyone needs a hand with any tree related job please get in touch. Thankyou for reading Ben 07949006464 Sent from my GT-I9305 using Arbtalk mobile app

Lol no didnt catch them, u never do tho! yeah stumpgrinding is a swine at the best of times, especialy with a blunt wheel! have u tried the square wheels? dont bite as often so arnt as harsh, takes a bit longer tho!
-
No probs at all! A brew is essential on a hard days work!

Thanks for the advice on the PL, every penny saved is a bonus!

How do everyone! Having just moved to Thirsk in North Yorkshire i am looking to any arb companys that use sub contractors. I have a lot of experience working within a team and have worked on a wide range of sites. I have my CS 30/31 CSCS First Aid in the workplace Clean driving license (with landrover driving experience) And have PL cover. I am looking into taking my CS38/39 asap. As im new to the area i would really appreciate any advice or help developing contacts and am willing to travel to secure work, Thanks Ben
