Brits talkin about Brit stuff

yeah me too

 

[PRUNER 1]

zurich inspect the kit but i think that might be changin dont know yet though. i had thought about doin it but cant afford it yet. ide like to get into loler inspecting and nptc assessing in the future as it really interests me.

 

[Ross Turner]

it dont cost too much for the loler course,contact Treevolution & i think you may will be suprised at the cost.Ask the council if they will pay towards it & they would only have to pay for a yearly kit check as you would be doing the 6 month one.
Just an idea.

[ROLLACOSTA]

Iain,All climbers should check his kit daily & weekly & record the check,then every 6 months they have to be inspected by a competent person for inspecting arb equipment(Loler inspector).

Your spot on ROSS

 

[iain]

has anyone used or trialed the laserace 'hypsometer' height measurement device

 

[Ross Turner]

I have used something simlar while working at Fountains on the National Grid contract,The laser i used would give you the height by using the following method.
distance to tree at eye level,angle & distance to top of tree & angle & distance to base of tree.This would them be calculated to give you the tree height.

We used them to measure the height of the conductors as well.

i'm interested in them for two reasons : surveys other re hedge height n light loss calculatation saw the ad for these in fbt and was wondering if anyone was using them
