When you decide the nearest place to you is Radmore and Tucker in Exeter, they will sort you out.

i learnt to climb on my bosses weaver harness and it was horrible; heavy and rigid. Just got a petzl Sequoia and its really nice, used to fabric climbing harness anyway. The Sequoia has good back support too.

theres nothing stopping you working, or looking for work as a groundie

 

this is the best advice ive seen on this thread.

straight into the trees, fresh from course has always baffled me. ( if this isnt the case with you, no offence).

but whats wrong with having time on the saw - on the ground!

seeing how to process wood, good basic stuff.
