    I know my course has finished, but I found a link that might help any Royal Navy, RAF or Army lads going through the business start up course at Kingswood. https://www.alliance-leicestercommercialbank.co.uk/bizguides/full/treesurgeon/index.asp

    If your into forging I have a cd of books I could email to you. Pm me if interested. You might find some bits interesting. I got it as I wanted to setup a forge. Still not got round to it.

    I love going to my mums to play with the stove. I'm thinking about reinstating the fireplace with a stove

    Usually a bottle of mead, but found a bottle of Echo falls red in the cabinet. Why waste fuel when that needed to be get rid of.

    Driving in the rain my lad wanted to go through a fludle. What's that I said? "Too big to be a puddle not quite a flood, it's a fludle"

    What would you all be looking for accommodation wise? Local B&B / hotels, caravans and tents???? Would it be a BYOB or would you all want a bar and some DJ putting on?

    I would like to put South derbyshire forward as a location. Plus we have the National forest visitor centre. 😃 Lifted from wiki. Centre of England - In 2002 the Ordnance Survey defined 'Lindley Hall farm' Fenny Drayton as the Geographical Centre of England. In 2003 the Ordnance Survey placed Coton in the Elms, Derbyshire, as the 'furthest point from the sea' in Great Britain. Who wants to argue with the mapmakers

    Try this, I saw it demonstrated at the Arb show and it took all the weight of a pole saw. The demonstrator just pointed it where he wanted it to go http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/easy-lift-harness1/machine-harnesses

    I should of asked average sizes as well. The thought of smashing up usable bits makes me shudder. I will be keeping an eye open for med/big lumps as I want to get into carving. I just hope people have a good imagination "it's an owl, honest" 😃

    Just been reading The complete countryman by Alan Titchmarsh. There was a bit about wood turning. I was wondering what woods do you all like? As I'm beginning as a tree surgeon I could keep an eye open for good bits and save them from the chipper

    What you'll be needing is a rifle with chainsaw bayonet. http://geekologie.com/2012/01/zombie-hunting-assault-rifle-with-chains.php

    My course is finished now. Will be looking for work from the 14th October. I have some experience, so I got my tickets to be a "competent" person in the eyes of PUWER and insurance companies

    what 4x4

    JLA Arborists replied to finch's topic in Arb-Trucks

    The fact that they're awesome, used worldwide, used by the military and something for everyone. Defender for rugged use, Range rover for the posher rugged use and Discovery for everyone in between

    Passed the CS39 cutting from harness. Got myself in some strange positions, but it's all over so now to find work and fund the kit
  23. JLA Arborists
    Aerial rescue passed. Off to do the cutting from a harness assessment

    Finished the climbing training today. We were cutting in the tree. Snapped the started cord on the ms200 so it got repaired then I did it again!! That time I came down to sort it, as it was almost lunch. One of the lads put an order in with FR Jones. It was like Christmas when it turned up. We were trying his new harness and helping put his helmet together. Can't wait to confirm my shopping list.
