Heal well eggs.

It'll be a 200+ mile round trip so a bit far for me.

Where are you, I can probably use it?

Or rescue climber with the equipment to carry out a rescue?

If it's local authority chances are the quotes will be looked at by a procurement department with no knowledge or interest beyond what's the lowest quote. Does it specify to include your TM plan? If not they'll just go for the cheapest with nobody considering viability or legality of TM set up. Go with what you're happy to put your name to and if someone undercuts you with an unrealistic plan let them take the hit on sorting it out, might thin out the competition for the future.

I'll send you a pm

Used a DMM swivel on the bridge til the recall, attaching with a crab doesn't count for an independent anchor attachment. Can get a bit crowded at times but gyro won't go on sequoia bridge.

I moved at 55 but had some financial stability. 5 years later and cysts in my wrists I've had to accept that I'm no longer capable of daily climbing or even grounding at a pace I'd be happy with, done the PTI qualification and moved to full time inspection with occasional call outs. Don't regret a minute of it and wish I could still do it full time without having to have the hand fused at the wrist to continue pain free. If you can make the finances work take the plunge.

Settle shouldn't be too far from you, try Lowe Maintenance I found them really helpful. Lowe Maintenance | Chainsaw Training & Forestry Courses UK LOWE-MAINTENANCE.CO.UK Lowe Maintenance provide chainsaw, machinery training, forestry courses and LOLER checks in North Yorkshire.

I am assuming that your false acacia predates the extension in which case it should have been taken into account in the construction of that extension as from the detail you provide it is within the zone of influence of the tree. You may find the NHBC guidance useful 4.2 Building near trees - NHBC Standards 2022 NHBC Standards 2022 NHBC-STANDARDS.CO.UK 4.2 Building near trees Further discussion of potential heave with your insurers and what that may mean for your continued cover and premiums would be prudent. I am not an engineer but a quick run through the detail you provided, which doesn't include the effect of other trees, suggests that the foundations to the extension should have a minimum depth of 1.89m and that mitigating potential heave is even more complex were this and additional trees/shrubs to be removed. Sometimes the more expensive option works out more cost effective in the long run, there is also the goodwill factor of course.

Everything's relative. Last time I was round Stavanger in 2011 a pizza was £30, hate to think what it'd be now.

Is it your issue? Your post suggests that the tree predates the extension, if so are the foundations to the extension compliant with building regs? Have the roots been proven to be the cause through seasonal crack measurement? Most councils will experience such claims and many have detail of the evidence they require to point the finger at the tree on their websites, the same should apply in this case. Many insurers attempt to shortcut the process and avoid the expense by pointing fingers with insufficient evidence and demand felling.

Have a look at building regulations re root protection zoning and don't forget it's based on the eventual size not current size and includes trees that are to be planted in the future. I believe TPOs apply to the tree, i.e. both above and below ground as the concept is to preserve the tree in good health.

Sorry to hear that, hope he pulls through and doesn't have lasting complications. Pubs pre becoming family restaurants used to be where blokes talked about stuff, maybe not directly but you knew you had mates, watched each others backs and somehow just helped each other through. Seemed to put stuff in context within the bigger picture, there was always someone in deeper shite.

The mass of red tape and arse covering over here is probably one reason the industry is suffering, we're too busy protecting kids to let them try anything and get enthused. Seem to remember a similar story when I first tried diving in the 70's, BSAC wanted 6 weeks pool work with a mask and snorkel before moving on to SCUBA, years later I did a PADI course and was in open water after a day with SCUBA in the pool. I think BSAC have now changed as they were becoming irrelevant, people either went with PADI or just got a mate to show them.

2 loadbearing anchor points, i.e. each independently capable of preventing a fall of over 0.5m in the absence of the other. You may find an additional lanyard comes in handy for positioning on an additional non load bearing anchor point, alternatively you could just use the tail of one main line as only one has to allow uninterrupted descent.

I found the grammar could be a bit challenging after direct translation from the German, it took me a good few rereadings of some sections before I thought I got the concept being put forward. Could also be my poorly wired brain of course.

Every pair I've had has done this, usually keep them going for a year before relegating them to standby pair if best are soaked or it's a lot of ground work as well. Can't get on with Haix, too much padding at the bottom of the tongue, takes the top of my toes off.

Any time I've done it it's been cut and chuck not rigging, way too many ropes in the tree otherwise.

Allotments or stashed in an open bay outside the yard for people to help themselves.

Did 5 years in steel related industry before a 32 year forces career. Was looking at forestry before I joined up but it was a closed shop locally. Didn't want to go into the standard management role when I left and was a (rock) climber so Arb appealed though I didn't think I'd got enough left in the tank. Went to the Arb show and got a climb, thought I could do it so got the courses, a position with some very experienced guys for mentoring and lasted just over 4 fantastic years before developing cysts in one wrist. Now qualified as a PTI and moved to inspection and call outs only. Currently working on SRT to see if I can push it out a bit longer, 572's about my limit in a tree though and not for long. Still intend to get a big climb in on my 60th in a few months time, as long as the god's don't save me from myself with a storm (more likely to be a thick ear from she who must be obeyed).

Anyone tried Ibex, no idea on prices but could be workable if you've got a donor engine you like but a rotting chassis. IBEX 4x4 All terrain vehicles - Custom off roader WWW.IBEXVEHICLES.COM Ibex is an uncompromising British 4x4 all terrain, off road vehicle. Agile enough to get in to the harshest of environments, strong and durable enough to get back home again. An immensely strong... The UK-built Ibex 4×4 offers an alternative to the Land Rover Defender HITECHGLITZ.COM

Sorry to hear about this and hope you get sorted.

Tis but a scratch

I used zig zags and the second was one of the recall batch, it worked fine for about six months before the spring on the top link gave up. More like free fall than slippage though. Not had a problem with the replacement or the first one which id still going. Definitely worth checking the recall batch numbers and the top link, does it still spring up?
