TWA2016

I've been with Arborisk, historically. Never made a claim, thankfully. But had my renewal documents through last week, for renewal in May & quite a lot has changed in the T's & C's. A big concern for us was offering market value & no longer offering 'New for Old' Cover. However, we called them, had the discussion and having never made a claim, the underwriters were happy to keep us with New for Old. My understanding is that won't be the case if you've made a claim or for new business though? Check with Arborisk.

Thanks so much guys. Appreciate the confirmation.

Im thinking Phellinus pomaceus? Can anyone confirm?

Hi, Advice guys please. See images. Prunus - Plum Cherry. Evidence of brackets on the main stem & spread widely throughout the tree. Curious about these multiples/overlaid bracket - same fungi/species? Thoughts/comments? Thanks

Best wishes for a safe, prosperous & healthy 2017!

Thanks for the comments.

Its getting to that time of year, when i'm starting to fancy the option of climbing in something thats gonna keep a bit more of the weather out. Has anyone any experience of Harkie Smocks? How do you rate them? Thanks

I'm a runner. Been an ultra-runner for 10+ years. Its fantastic for overall conditioning, but does nothing for flexibility. And I aint the most flexible monkey in the tree anyways!

For climbing I use cheap n cheerful fingerless weight lifting type gloves & for ground work, a decent pair of riggers gloves or something more grippy if the stuff I'm handling wet/slimy. Just a curiosity really, what are others using?

I'd suggest with a van or a pick up, a tool safe or 2 would be the way to go. The compromise is on space, but at least the kit inside is more secure.
