must admit, im training myself to an extent at the moment because ive had to cut my grounding hours down considerably due to university commitments, so there isnt the time at work to spend any time in the canopy. however i am scheduled to meet up with some local pro climbers every now and then to learn from them which is really nice of them.

gonna do my NPTC CS38 soon which is 'tree climbing and aerial rescue'. it's a course and an assessment. should be good. look forward to that but i wont do it until im ready. the next one after that is CS39 operating a chainsaw from a rope and saddle i believe. words to that effect anyway
