We run a large domestic landscaping business, with incorporated small tree work operation. The business operates to generate income for a large rehabilitation charity. Based in South Birmingham. J3- M42 We have odd days available for a 2nd climber/ groundie with aerial rescue ticket. Must be willing to work alongside guys recovering from drugs and alcohol addiction and respect their environment. A great opportunity to do something a bit different, working with a great bunch of guys. Pay would reflect productivity. Once established we would LOLER your kit free of charge as well. Minimum requirements CS 30/31 CS 38. Call Timon on 07595119775

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
TIMON replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
I listened through some of the Webinar and caught them saying that each system/backup had to have a separate connection to the harness. I’m still unsure whether a rope bridge is classed as a separate connection, as I’m sure ‘they’ (think it was Simon) said that two rings on the same bridge was ok. Thinking about this logically, if you did cut through your bridge, a second line wouldn’t save you anyway as the two systems become one at the bridge. I use a TM with a single bridge and mostly use my lower ‘D’s’ to connect my second line/lanyard. I don’t see the point of a second line connected to the same bridge. -

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working

Ah, my mistake then.. I thought you meant using the lowering device fixed to the base of the stem e.g Hobbs, GRCS, RC3001 etc,, as the belay for the climber. -
Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
TIMON replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
From a LOLER point of view, using a Hobbs type device for a belay system would require an ‘unused in rigging, ever’ new device to be used. Issuing a LOLER certificate for equipment requires the item to be classified either. PPE (for climbing) or RIGGING. It is acceptable to downgrade PPE climbing gear to ‘rigging’. But never acceptable to ‘upgrade’ rigging gear to PPE, due to the considerable forces exerted on rigging kit. Hope this is helpful. (From a LOLER point of view) -
Arborist job situation in czech republic
TIMON replied to Mikepolo's topic in International Arborist Forum
Czech is a notoriously difficult language for Brits to master and very few Czech people speak English.. There is a fair sized ex-Pat community in Prague. I would think that the key to finding work for an English speaker would be networking the various ex-pat groups. Not sure how much demand there would be if you don’t have a good command of Czech though. I’ve been twice in the last few years, really enjoyed it. Prague has to be one of the nicest cities in Europe.- 1 reply

It was a deal to start with then I talked him into a bit more discount... Local lad in the back of a hairdressing salon. Think it was 10 x 15 minute sessions. All gone. It hurt a bit.... Zapped the tattooed area, breaking up the ink, then the body naturally digests and disposes of the ink.

I had a load of crappy home made ones I really regretted having on my lower arms and hands from back in my delinquent days. I found a deal on Groupon to have them laser-ed off. Best £200 I ever spent

On Rope: Amazon.co.uk: Padgett, Allen: 9781879961050: Books WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Buy On Rope New REV ed. by Padgett, Allen (ISBN: 9781879961050) from Amazon's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. This is a great book on all things rope related. Obviously, not all of it is applicable to tree work but studying this book would give you a good theoretical knowledge of working with rope in lots of different disciplines. [emoji106]

Hi Sam, I’ve got that one. It’s an old popular ‘classic’. The drawings are very basic but it is still a useful book to have.

Nice job and a tidy set up.

Lapsed pollards, particularly poplar and also ash. (If ever there was a genuine case for two rope working, these would be it...)

I notice lately that there doesn’t seem to be any such thing as just either side of centre... you’re either labelled as a hard commie or an out and out nazi.

Why has Google censored the Great Barrington Declaration? WWW.SPIKED-ONLINE.COM Big Tech now treats any opposition to lockdown as misinformation – even if it’s from eminent scientists.

Came across this penguin recently at Dinefwr Park, Carmarthenshire.
