Anyone done or going to be doing this with their mindees? I don't have to risk assess it or anything silly do I?! :-)

Only if you are planning on sending a child or dh up the tree :littleangel::littleangel::littleangel:

I'm sure you automatically risk assess everything you do. Just because you don't write it down doesn't mean you don't do it. I bet you check for any dangers at the park (or wherever you go), you check the children won't run off, you check you have your mobile phone with you - everything you do is risk assessing.
I very much doubt you would go collecting conkers without giving any of it a second thought, therefore you have risk assessed it.

I wouldn't write a risk assessment for it, but I would be able to verbally explain that I had considered any risks.

Always take the children conker collecting, bit early at the moment. The parents hate it when they collect the children and they have conkers to take home .:o

Ha ha, perhaps take hard hats lol! I took a mindee last year and they were falling off left right and centre! Loads of fun I will definitely be doing again :-)

Mine loved it last year, I think it's a bit early. With regard to risk assessments, I would not go in a gale or storm, and I would not throw sticks up into the trees.
The ground was about an inch think under a huge tree outside the local golf course.

Have always done this....just nice now to have children to do it with again!
Spikey outer cases on the ground is always my RA and warning to the children.
