My interest in bamboo scaffolding hit a new high when I got the chance to get up close and personal as we bimbled from the tram stop to the Peak Lower Station. Supports:- a thin one, a fat one and errr.............steady, I was going to say a sturdy one, Mmmmm, too much of a pause........

On our journeys out and about we have seen many piles of waiting bamboo.

As we stood at the bus stop to swop digs we watched traditional acrow props being delivered, clearly bamboo cannot be used here.

Our biggest bamboo scaffolding offer was en route to the airport – humongous.
